The rides as well as show bags, lucky numbers, food and slushies can be accessed at a discounted rate through a WA Showmen’s Association initiative.
Association spokesman Daniel Williams said show goers who bought tickets on line would receive $60 worth of tickets for $50.
Mr Williams, a third generation showman, said his association had evolved remarkably since his childhood when he joined his grandparents at showgrounds.
Where once a showman put his informally-trained hand to a variety of construction, transport, cooking, rigging or even minor electrical tasks, today’s crew hold an extensive array of tickets and qualifications.
They now provide more sophisticated lighting, a larger array of family amusement games and, along with traditional rides, some bigger, faster rides.

Kalamunda & District Agricultural Society runs the show annually.
