Get your tickets! These Minnesota State Fair concerts are almost sold out
The 2023 Minnesota State Fair has an incredibly varied line-up of concerts at the Grandstand for each of the 12 days of the fair, and some are nearly sold out.
“We're at about five shows that have very limited ticket availability,” said Maria Hayden, spokesperson for the Minnesota State Fair.
As of Friday afternoon, only tickets with obstructed views remained for Brandi Carlile, Jonas Brothers, Keith Urban and The Chicks. Duran Duran tickets are also selling quickly.
Hayden advised fans to keep an eye on the website as tickets might become available later.
Grandstand capacity is between 13,000 to 17,000 people depending on the seating configuration, according to a State Fair media contact.
This year’s state fair has a “a variety of different music tastes for all different audiences" per Hayden, including two acts with Minnesota ties: The Hold Steady and Yung Gravy.
