I was told today we had to pay for tickets to walk through the corn maze, bit didn't the corn maze used to be free?

They have charged at least for the last few years

Adults are $8 bucks, under 12 is $7 and I think under 3 is free. ( I'm not entirely sure about the under 3. No-one in my party was under 3) It does come with a free ice cream. Basically you pay for the free ice cream.
