Best Seats in the House
The Iowa State Fair has announced 7 of the 11 Grandstand concerts for the 2026 Iowa State Fair. Taking the stage are Hardy, Rod Stewart, The Red Clay Strays, Lainey Wilson, AJR, Riley Green, and Josiah Queen. The last 4 acts will be announced soon!
So what are the best seats in the house? That would be Concert Club!
Concert Club is your exclusive opportunity to enjoy premium seating in the Grandstand during the Iowa State Fair, while supporting the Blue Ribbon Foundation’s mission. Whether you're treating clients, family, friends, or yourself, this program gives you access to all 11 nights of incredible entertainment at the Fair.
For an annual contribution of $3,000, you'll secure four “season” tickets to each Grandstand concert, along with four gate admission tickets and an on-grounds parking pass for each day of the Fair. Please note that concert ticket costs are not included, and membership requires the purchase of four tickets per Grandstand concert. There are only 5 spots open for new members!
Concert Club member seats are in sections C8, C9, or C10, offering an exceptional view of the stage and all the action during each performance. The seats are elevated and positioned for optimal sightlines, allowing you to enjoy every moment of the concert. Whether you're watching a classic act or new artist, the proximity to the stage ensures a memorable experience.
As a member, you’ll have the first chance to reserve the same seats every year. Plus, you’ll be recognized for your support, with a portion of your contribution being tax-deductible.
Donors who participate in the Blue Ribbon Foundation’s Concert Club are vital to the continued success and growth of our organization. Their generous support not only provides essential funding to help preserve and improve the historic Iowa State Fairgrounds but also ensures that we can maintain and enhance the traditions of the Iowa State Fair.
