Stanislaus
County Fair tickets go on sale this Saturday!
Lynyrd
Skynyrd and Martina McBride fans get in line, because
Stanislaus County Fair tickets go on sale this
Saturday, May 4, at 10 a.m.
Arena
event tickets, including the always sold-out
destruction derby, and discount admission and carnival
tickets, all go on sale this Saturday, beginning at
10:00 a.m. For
prime arena seating, fair-goers are encouraged to buy
their tickets early.
There
are five convenient ways to purchase arena event
tickets:
1.
Tickets can be purchased in person at the
Stanislaus County Fair office, located at 900 N.
Broadway in Turlock.
The ticket office will be open on Saturday, May
4 (only) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and then each weekday
thereafter from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased with cash, VISA or
MasterCard (checks are not accepted).
Tickets.com
has established random number distribution line
control procedures to eliminate “camping out”
for a place in line, and to ensure that each ticket
customer has an equal chance at being the first in
line. This
procedure will be in effect at the Fair office, as
well as tickets.com outlets on May 4—opening day
of ticket sales..
If
you are in line between 9 and 9:30 a.m., you will be
given a ticket for a random number drawing to be
held to see who will be first in line.
Following the drawing of one ticket those
with higher numbers will follow behind in order of
their number with the numbers lower than that
selected following behind them.
Anyone
arriving after 9:30 a.m. will not be included in the
drawing and will be behind those holding tickets.
