INFORMATION REGARDING GARTH BROOKS’ SHOWS

Wednesday, July 26th, 2017

***Concert ticket holders are advised to arrive early and allow extra time to park, catch a free shuttle, purchase Fair admission tickets, pass through metal detectors and get onto the Fairgrounds. No weapons of any kind will be allowed, including pocket knives. Heavy crowds are expected, so please arrive early.

***Please be advised that Fair admission is not included with concert tickets, as usual. Fair admission tickets can be purchased ahead of time on-line at www.MidStateFair.com, or in person at any gate – additional Admissions Staff will be on hand to sell tickets. Patrons are encouraged to bring cash to make the transaction process even quicker.

***Parking is very limited around the Fairgrounds, but the Main Lot located on Riverside Avenue will be available, until full. Patrons are encouraged to Park & Ride at one of the free shuttle locations being offered.

***There will be no opening act for the Garth Brooks with Trisha Yearwood concerts. The first show will start promptly at 7:30 pm and the second show is scheduled to start at 10:30 pm.

***The Fair will open at Noon and close at Midnight – normal time – on July 27. All patrons at the Fair not in the second concert at Midnight will be asked to exit the grounds, as usual.

***There will be no admission onto the Fairgrounds after 11:00 pm on July 27.

***The grandstand arena gates will open for the first concert at 6:00 pm – 30 minutes earlier than normal, and 90 minutes before the start of the concert. The grandstand arena gates will open for the second show as soon as the grandstand arena is cleaned from the first show, at the discretion of Event Staff. Additional ticket scanners will be utilized for both shows, with Ticketmaster representatives on hand to handle any problems.

All shuttle buses will be under the direction of one coordinator who will be able to adjust the routing of each bus depending on the lot usage (i.e., more buses will be dispatched to the most-used lots/locations).

As always, Fair-goers are encouraged to arrive early and give themselves plenty of time to get onto the Fairgrounds.
