Yes, we can! Please call or stop by our office for more information and to arrange any accommodations.

Yes! Please do so on our fair feedback form!

Each section of seating offers different amenities.

Festival Area

Standing room only, this section is right in front of the stage and provides the best concert experience. Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase directly from the festival area. There are also port-a-potties available in this section. This section is accessed by stairs, but special accommodations can be made by contacting the fair office. Attendees may exit and return to this section, but because it is standing room only you might want to have someone save your spot. Get there early! The line starts at gate 3.

Grandstand Reserved

This is the bottom half of the grandstand and provides fairgoers an excellent view of the stage while sitting. To make your experience even more comfortable, these seats have backs. These seats are accessed via stairs. As the name implies, this section’s seating is reserved – so you can get up from your seats safely knowing they’ll be waiting for you when you return from the restroom with a cup of lemonade. Enter at gates 4 and 5.

Grandstand General Admission

These seats are at the top half of the grandstand and still provides concert goers a great view. These seats are bench style (no back rests) and first-come, first-serve – so if you leave and come back you might not get the exact same seat again. (Unless you have someone save it for you!) These seats are accessed by stairs, with the exception of the top row which is accessible for wheelchairs. Enter at gates 6 and 7 .

Hillside General Admission

These seats are on both the east and west sides of the grandstand and are great for those on a budget. The views are still good, but not as good as the grandstand or festival area seats. These seats are bench-style and on a grassy hillside. There’s also plenty of room on the grass if you’d rather take in the concert picnic style! These seats are accessed by stairs, but have space for wheelchair accessible seating at the top of both sides. Enter at gates 1 or 9.

Here’s the closest available restrooms and ATMs to the concert:

Your gate number can be found on this map:

During the fair, the will call is located in the box office at the top of the grandstand. Before fair, all will-call tickets are available in the fair office.

Call or stop by our office (the box office at the top of the grandstands during the fair). We can reprint you a new ticket. (We will also void out your old ticket so that no one else can use it.)

We do not sell back stage (VIP) passes to the general public. Generally, back stage passes are reserved for sponsors and specific Dubuque County Fair Staff. From time-to-time, some of our sponsors will give away back stage passes through contests. Do not buy back stage passes from anyone else – they are most likely fake. 

Children 2 and younger may sit on a parent’s lap. We require tickets for anyone 3 and older who will be attending the concert.

Concert tickets do not include the required fair admission, which is $10 for anyone 12 or older (children 11 and younger are free for general fair admission). You will need to purchase this from our website, the fair office (before fair week only), or when you get to the fair. We accept all credit cards, cash, or check.

The ticket fees help us cover credit card processing and ticket system fees. These fees are automatically applied to every ticket purchased online and over the phone. If you purchase your ticket in person, most of these fees are waived. 

Generally, you can bring in anything to the concert venue that you purchase on the fairgrounds. There are some things, however, that we cannot allow due to contract and safety reasons. Please note that we will search all bags for everyone’s safety.

Things that we cannot allow into the concert areas:

• Anything not allowed on the fairgrounds (including weapons, coolers, and outside alcohol that was not purchased on the fairgrounds).
• Professional Cameras (Unless you have special permission from the DCFA Management and a media pass.)
• In the festival area: cans and bottles (We will give you a cup to pour your drink into.)

Yes, you can! Call or stop by or office to do this. This is useful if you need to move your seat to sit next to someone else, or if you’d like to upgrade your seat. We will require you to pay any difference in the seat’s value. If it is more than 1 week away from the event, you may also contact etix to have your tickets upgraded.

For the 2018 Dubuque County Fair, we are not doing a Free Concert Friday due to the higher caliber of entertainment we are offering. (This is a change from previous years.)
