Eastern Grandstand Tickets Going Fast

If you want to attend your favorite event, you better Buy ‘Em Now!

Blackfoot, ID – The State Fair has experienced a record month of grandstand event ticket sales. If you want to attend your favorite event, you need to purchase your tickets now!

The Eastern Idaho State Fair is serving up a heaping dish of country this year— with Chris Young and Morgan Frazier set to perform on Thursday, 9/5 and Trace Adkins and Due West taking the stage on Friday, 9/6. The country music concert package has been a huge hit with fairgoers and there is very limited seating left in the grandstands. General admission tickets are still available but you can’t count on GA Floor tickets still being around during fair week! We are on track to have a sell out at both shows this year!

Concertgoers receive tickets to both headlining acts (including fair admission), starting at $44.00. But the specials don’t stop there— concertgoers can visit their local Wendy’s in Chubbuck, Pocatello, Blackfoot, Idaho Falls, Ammon, Rigby, Rexburg, or Jackson Hole and pick up a $5 off coupon! Coupons expire August 5—so act quickly! Premium concert packages are also available for the first time this year to enhance your concert-going experience at an additional cost.

The Demolition Derby, which sold out hours before the 2012 show, is also on track for a repeat sellout. The only way to guarantee a seat is to purchase your tickets now. Buying tickets has never been easier with four options to meet fairgoers needs. For the first time fairgoers can purchase their tickets from within Facebook! You can also avoid lines by purchasing tickets through the improved online ticket ordering system at www.funatthefair.com, where you can choose your seat and print your tickets at home or work. Or pick them up in person at Vickers Western Stores in Idaho Falls and Pocatello, or at the EISF Ticket Office in Blackfoot at (208) 785-2480, ext. 7.
