Dallas (CBSDFW.com) – The Texas State Fair’s ‘Big Tax Fair Food Drive-Through’ experience began Saturday and for some, the experience was less than ideal.
Fairowars posted photos and comments on social media about waiting in line for three hours and some people running on gas.
Jessica Grass shared photos, including a long line of cars and a man with a gas canister.
She said, “StateFairOfTX I think you sell more of your seven AM tickets. Currently just waiting for parking at 3pm and people getting out of the gas!

The event was billed as an hour to 90 minute experience with limited tickets.
“Wait a good hour and people got out of the gas, “It’s fun,” Jeremy said on Twitter in response to the Texas State Fair, which promotes tickets on sale for the Big Texas Fair Food Drive-Through.

On Twitter, Top Miller said, “@StateFaroftx, not the first people we’ve seen buy gas, with photos of two people with long lines of cars in the background walking with gas.

“We waited more than 2 hours in line by drive and now maybe we pass through the queue in the parking lot,” said CBS 11 producer Steven Rosenbum when he was in line with his family at 1:40 pm on Saturday. “We certainly weren’t ready for this wait and it looks like there weren’t many others.”
State Fair employees worked to reduce the lines by adding additional scanners at the entrance and dividing the drink stations into two parts at once.
Juan Galaviz posted a photo on Twitter showing the long lines of cars, but a voice was heard saying he felt it was all worth it, saying,StateFairOfTX These lines … but we have to come to the state of Texas every year, even if it’s just a drive. “

The drive-thru event begins this week, meanwhile, what would have been the early weekend of the 2020 State Fair in Texas, which was canceled due to a coronavirus epidemic.
According to the State Fair website, Saturday’s program was sold out and so is Sunday.
