Kentucky State Fair free concerts are held in Cardinal Stadium. Seating is first come first served, so it is wise to show up early if you want to get good seats. The doors to the concert open an hour before the show starts, and many people will start lining up for the free concerts as early as an hour before they open the doors to the stadium.
Tickets for Kentucky State Fair paid concerts can be purchased through Ticketmaster online, by phone, or though the mail. Tickets can also be purchased in person at any Ticketmaster outlet as well as at the Kentucky Exposition Center Ticket Office and Kentucky International Convention Center Ticket Office.
Kentucky State Fair concert tickets purchased more than ten days before the show will include the cost of admission to the fair and will be mailed to the address of your choice. Kentucky State Fair concert tickets purchased within ten days of the show will not include the cost of admission -- you will have to buy a fair admission ticket in addition to your concert ticket -- and can be picked up at the Kentucky Exposition Center Ticket Office Will Call.
