Grandstand Show Venue Policies & Procedures

Weather/Show Postponement or Cancellation

All events are RAIN OR SHINE! In the unlikely event of a show postponement or cancellation due to the headliner's inability to perform, information will be provided regarding procedures as soon as it becomes available. Once the show starts, no weather-related interruption or abbreviation constitutes a postponement or cancellation. A special guest's inability to perform will not be considered a postponement or cancellation.

All times of performances are subject to change.

Refunds/Exchanges/Upgrades

There are no refunds, exchanges or upgrades for any Grandstand show tickets. Reselling of tickets on the fairgrounds is strictly prohibited. Any person participating in this will be prosecuted.

Secondary Ticket Market

Consumer Warning:

The Great Allentown fair uses bar code scanning for Grandstand ticket admissions. As a result, fans should be careful when purchasing tickets and make certain the seller is a Great Allentown Fair licensed ticketing agent.

TICKETMASTER is the ONLY authorized ticketing agent outside of the Allentown Fair Box Office. If you purchase tickets from an unauthorized agent in the secondary ticket market (scalper, ticket broker, eBay, Stub Hub, Craigslist, etc.) you risk purchasing counterfeit or invalid tickets which may result in refusal of admission. The Allentown Fair is not responsible for any tickets purchased through any ticket broker.

Purchasing Concert Tickets on the Day of Show

Most FAIR shows have tickets still available day of show. Any questions regarding day of show status, call 610-433-7541 and select the BOX OFFICE option. Tickets may be purchased at the FAIR BOX OFFICE or TicketMaster.com until show time. For purchases online, it is recommended to select "Mobile Ticket" as the delivery option. Fairgoers purchasing tickets at the Fair Box Office must pay Fair admission.

Will Call

WILL CALL window is located at the Main Box Office inside the Fairgrounds. For admission to the grounds patrons must show ID at any entrance gate. Will Call tickets are available on the DAY OF SHOW starting at 12 PM at the designated Will Call windows except on Opening Night on August 28 when Will Call opens at 4 PM. Patrons need to show ID to pick up tickets.

Payment

The Fair Box Office accepts cash, VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Any other forms of payment including personal checks will not be accepted.

Accessible Seating

The Great Allentown Fair is committed to providing accessible seating opportunities to all patrons. For this reason, it provides the opportunity to purchase tickets for accessible seating through the same means and under the same terms and conditions as other tickets sold for all events. However, designated accessible seating is limited. It is advised, therefore, that requests for accessible seating be made in advance. Each accessible patron with a wheelchair/scooter/mobile apparatus may be accompanied by up to three (3) companions.

The Box Office does not sell tickets over the phone, HOWEVER, PRIOR TO PURCHASE, it is recommended calling the Fair Box Office to discuss accessible accommodations. Call 610-433-7541.

Tickets for individuals with disabilities may be purchased in several ways.

• Internet: www.ticketmaster.com
• Fair Box Office (For Hours Click Here)

Accommodation seating is reserved for the exclusive use of individuals with disabilities and their guests and the purchase or use of these seating locations by non-disabled individuals is strictly prohibited and can result in ejection and/or forfeiture of ticket cost.

When a patron has purchased a ticket to accessible seating and then transfers that ticket to an individual who does not require accessible seating, the Great Allentown Fair reserves the right to move that individual and his or her companions to the closest available or comparable non-accessible seating.

Wheelchairs are not permitted in the pit or floor sections of the venue.

The only animals allowed on grounds are those that align with the ADA's service animal classification for animals specifically trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Animals whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA and are therefore not allowed on grounds during the Fair.

Day of Show Accessible Patrons

Patrons who had purchased non-accessible seating and are now in need of accessible seating at the time of an event will be directed to the Box Office for the availability of such seating, which will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Accessible Parking

Accessible parking is available on the Allentown Fairgrounds on a first-come, first-serve basis for $15. Parking lot entrance is located at Gate 7 off of Liberty Street. Just inform the gate captain that you need accessible parking. He will direct you from there. To guarantee a spot on the grounds, Prepaid Premium Parking is available for $30 for each grandstand show. Click here.

Age Requirements for Tickets

A child who has reached his/her second birthday requires a ticket for admission to any Grandstand show unless specified otherwise. However, a child under age 2 may not occupy a seat and must sit on a parent or guardian’s lap. If parent or guardian is non-compliant, a venue representative will escort the parent/guardian and child out of the venue.
