Kansas State Fair 2025 Nex-Tech Grandstand: We will update as shows are announced.
- Avoid the line. Buy early using the Kansas State Fair Website. (small processing fee for online)
- Everyone 2 years old and older requires a ticket for the seating in concerts & VIP events. No exceptions to this. Younger children may sit on a lap but not in a seat as there will usually not be an empty seat in the Row next to the family. That means no strollers or baby carriers in another person’s seat area.
- There are no children or senior prices for any of the concerts.
- All seats are metal bench seats with backs. Seat Cushions may be rented at two locations, on ground level and on the mezzanine level. Customers can leave these on the seats after the concert.
