STANISLAUS COUNTY
FAIR TICKETS GO ON SALE MAY 7
 Turlock
– Lonestar and Hoobastank fans get in line or
online, because Stanislaus County Fair arena act
tickets go on sale soon.
Stanislaus County Fair tickets,
including the Lonestar and Hoobastank concerts, the
always sold-out destruction derby and discount
admission and carnival tickets, all go on sale
Saturday, May 7, beginning at 10 a.m.
“We expect that the Lonestar and
Hoobastank concerts will sell very fast,” said Tony
Leo, chief executive officer of the Stanislaus
County Fair. “Our fair guests know that the
celebrity entertainment at their Stanislaus County
Fair is always the best. Because of the caliber of
the acts that we bring in, tickets are in high
demand.”
“Other fast-sellers are the two
destruction derbies—Derby I: Traditional Turmoil and
Derby II: Metal Mayhem. Last year, Derby I sold out
in less than 30 minutes, with Derby II ultimately a
sell-out too.”

Tickets.com has
established RANDOM NUMBER DISTRIBUTION LINE

ticket customer has an equal chance at being the
first in line. This procedure will be in effect
at tickets.com outlets (including the
Fairgrounds) on opening day of ticket sales.
At the Fairgrounds outlet on May 7, if you are in line
between 9:00 a.m. 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 number lower than that
selected behind them.
Anyone arriving after 9:30 a.m. will not be included in the drawing and
will be behind those holding tickets.
5.
Mail Order, through the Fairgrounds Office.
To request an order-by-mail form please e-mail
or call the fair
office at 668-1333 or 524-2660.
