The Illinois State Fair is celebrating 217 Concert Week with a special ticket promotion, giving fairgoers the opportunity to experience live entertainment at an incredible value.
From August 3 through August 9, fairgoers can purchase $26 tickets for three Grandstand concerts. This promotion is available online through Ticketmaster or in person at the Illinois State Fair Box Office and applies to select seating areas while supplies last.
Featured concerts in the promotion include:
Ziggy Marley, Aug. 18
Wiz Khalifa, Aug. 19
The Avett Brothers, Aug. 20
The Illinois State Fair reminds concertgoers of a few important Grandstand updates:
- Monday's Grandstand concert is free and does not require a paid concert ticket.
- Friday's Ella Langley concert is sold out.
- The $26 promotion is valid only for select seating areas and is subject to availability.
"217 Concert Week is a great way to make Grandstand concerts even more accessible for fairgoers," said Illinois State Fair Manager Rebecca Clark. "Whether you're a longtime fair fan or visiting for the first time, we invite everyone to take advantage of this special offer and enjoy an unforgettable week of music at the Illinois State Fair."
