Tickets for DQ State Fair go on sale next week

By Shannon Woodworth

“The answer to that question is to order your tickets as early as possible,” said John Rednour Jr., manager of the Du Quoin State Fair. “When someone orders tickets, the computer automatically brings up the best possible seats available. So, it works like this, the longer you wait, the higher up you are going to sit.”

The fair has already mailed out an order form to the thousands of ticket buyers from last year. As those order forms from repeat buyers come in, they will be filled. Then, on the 17th, the ticket window at the Du Quoin State Fair opens at 9 a.m. for ticket sales. Phone lines open at 10 a.m.

“The question about good seats is probably asked to me hundreds of times each year,” Rednour said. “In today’s age, it’s all computer-generated. First-come, first-serve, if you will.

This year’s shows include: Billy Currington, Sawyer Brown, Matt Maher, Theory Of A Deadman, Montgomery Gentry and Kansas.

Two free shows will be announced June 29 but tickets are not needed for these shows.
