How to Purchase Concert Tickets

Important Ticket Information You Need to Know

Please note that if you purchase your ticket(s) by phone or via Internet 10 days or fewer from the concert date, the ticket price no longer includes advance gate admission to the Kentucky State Fair. The cost of the ticket has been reduced from its original value to reflect this change. However, general admission MUST be purchased separately for you to be admitted onto the grounds to see the concert. Additionally, because you are purchasing your ticket(s) 10 days or fewer from the show date, they cannot be mailed to you. Your ticket(s) will instead be placed at Will Call at the Kentucky Exposition Center Ticket Office.

If you purchase your ticket(s) in person at any Ticketmaster outlet, Kentucky State Fair advance gate admission will already be included in the total ticket price.
