Just looked up the shows for Ventura County Fair and Miranda Lambert is there Monday, August 9th and Dierks Bentley is there Thursday Aug, 12. And Credence Clearwater Revisited is there Aug 13. All shows are free with paid fair admission. They're first come, first served seats. Carly and I saw Jake Owen there last year and got right in line upon arriving and ended up with 3rd row, almost center.

Anyone been able to find lineups for LA County Fair?

Dang - the Ventura shows sound good - but no way I'm making it for any of them on a weeknight. :(

I have a love/hate relationship with the LA County Fair shows - it's retarded that they don't include fair admission in the ticket price. I mean, just make the tickets a few bucks more if you must - but what annoyed me was not that fair admission wasn't included in the ticket - but that it was REQUIRED to get into the concert. We didn't even want to go to the fair - we were only there for the show! I mean, we know now and plan ahead, but it was just dumb and not advertised well (at least not that year - dunno if that's changed at all).... (OK, LA County Fair vent done! haha)

ANYWAY - am hitting a couple of the OC Fair shows.... Julianne Hough on 7/29 and Leann Rimes on 8/12.

LA fair does NOT include admission $17.00 or parking $10.00 regular or VIP for $20.00. VIP parking just means you can actually walk to your car (about 1/2 hour) instead of waiting for one of the very few trams that come along.

Agree about shows at the LA fair. What a ream job!

So far I'm going to see Martina & Purple Reign (Prince cover band) at the OC Fair. Enough SCMB'ers are going to see Julianne that it might be fun to join y'all even though I'm not her biggest fan.

You've been gone too long. Read this short thread and you'll see that fair admission is not included. And this fact is not explained anywhere. So even if you have no interest in the fair you still have to pay for it.

OC fair is the opposite. Your ticket to a concert at the OC Fair includes admission to the fair. And there is no such thing as a $100 ticket at the OC Fair. So big F.U. to the LA Fair and their rip off concerts.

No, we're seeing Dierks (with reserved seats) much, much further away! Antelope County Fair, I think? I'm bummed we got tickets to this (because it's so far away), and now he'll be semi-close. And to top it off, the one we're going to, I had to tell a lie to get out of work that day too.

And I'd like to see all of those acts at LA County, but not for that much!

YES! THIS!

They have some good acts that I'd LIKE to see of course...but yea, $100 for some tickets - and have to pay fair admission ON TOP OF the ticket price - whether or not you want to go to the fair!? Yep - a buncha BS!

The Blake / Miranda show last year might've been my last for LA fair for some time (where USCPsycho was, what, like 5 rows right in front of us?) :)

Faith Hill is playing the OC Fair on 7/24. Tickets are pretty expensive though ($50-$100 before fees). But at least you don't have to pay fair admission on top of it. And it's a real amphitheater as opposed to the racing grandstands at the LA County Fair.

Anyone interested in getting tickets? With all the concerts & festivals I've been to I've never seen Faith perform. Just saw her sing a few songs with Tim when he played the Bowl.

Did I hear right...OC fair is $30 effin dollars!! I went last year and I walked thru it in 1 hour and bored to death. I did not like the new layout they had at all. 90% rides and games. Guess I am old school OC fair goer.

In defense of the LA Fair, a friend told me that if you're lined up at 3pm you get free admission to the concerts with the price of admission to the fair. But that doesn't help people who buy tickets to the shows.

There are to LA Fair shows I want to go to. Rick Springfield on 9/10 and demolition derby on 9/30. Assuming tix are more reasonable than the previously mentioned LA Fair shows.

The OC Fair site says general admission is $10...? By the time you get any food or buy any tickets to any of the rides - you're probably spending a minimum of $30 per person though!!! :eek:

They have a super pass for OC Fair. It's $25 I think (maybe only $15??) and gets you half price to all shows and unlimited admission all season and a coupon book. Only good to buy the pass at that price til tomorrow. I'm gonna do it cuz my kiddo's in free for one more year!

Huh..The radio add said $30 for adults..I almost choked! It also said you can get two for one to concerts.

Just saw that Adam Lambert is also going to be there..that might be one fun an interesting shows to see!!

My wife is going with some of her girlfriends to see Faith Hill.

Last year we went to see Huey Lewis (who was awesome). My wife got us tickets for my birthday and though I loved the concert I was not too stoked about going through the fair pretending to enjoy myself in the crowds. Ahhh the things we do for love.

Hey..i thought it was crazy too..but I heard it again today!! I just dont get what the diff is for the $30, they said "$30 for adults fair admission"...could be an error in the commercial?

Ok..AFTER july 30 it is $30 for a super pass..I read that on the website, but they do not make that clear on the commercial $25 before .

I knew I heard $30

It is a short walk. The entrance is inside the fair grounds.

I know the LA Fair allows you to reenter but no clue about OC.

No clue about ins/outs at OC...but if I hear anything will letcha know! Crystal - do you know since you have the pass?

I think IHML and I (and maybe Jeanne) are gonna see Darius Rucker at the LA fair 9/12...(sorry if this was brought up before - I"m to lazy to re-read even a 2 page thread - how sad is that?!?) :)

I still think it's crap that they make you buy seperate fair admisison - but at least we're going on a day where we can go early and have time to check out the fair during the day first! :)

I was highly dissappointed in the Gofest line up.:mad: Kellie would be nice to see, never seen her live, but RF...UGHHHHH GAG ME WITH A SPOON!!:D I refuse to listen to their whiney voices and chatter on stage one more time. JMHO Chris Young is the highlight for me on this one, never even heard of all the others. I was surprised, they usually have a great line up:mad:

What's with all the negativity toward RF? I admit I used to be a HUGE RF fan, and they've kinda faded for me - and I've also only seen them at Stagecoach, not an actual concert. So I figure I gotta see them, so I can get over it. And I REALLY wanna see Chris Young.

I'm with you Nicole! I've never seen them at their own concert and I do like their music. I know I'm in the minority, but to each his own!

who knows...but who cares?? They have a new song, and some good old songs too.

Oh, I was purposely trying to NOT be negative, they just aren't my cup of tea. I have no idea why. Tyler loves Life is a Highway, from Cars of course. Maybe that's why I was never a fan, I think I link it to kids music. IDK, just not my thing. But I'm sure I like MANY artists ya'll would hate, lol.

Like I said, RF music is OK. Some of it is actually pretty good. But I don't think I can ever sit through another one of their concerts. By the time the show is over all I want to do is punch every member of the band. So fake & cheesy. So NOT what a country concert should be. BLEH!!!!!!!!!

Hey, to each his/her own! :)

I dunno what it is, but I'm not a huge Martina McBride fan...and I know most people LOOOOVE her.

I'm excited to see RF - I've never been to one of their headlining shows - only SC as well!

LOVE LeAnn. Finally got to see her at State Line last year and she finished her show singing acapella which very few singers nowadays can actually do. Then again, I fell in love with her from the very beginning with Blue and I'm a BIG Patsy Cline fan and LeAnn really can do her justice and did on her second CD.

Go Chev if you enjoy a GREAT singing voice rather than a "show"

Hahaha..exactly, it was like they were putting on a Disney show. It was corny and for the kids. I also just think I don't like the singing voice at it, it is like fingers on a chalk board for me. They talked too much, trying to tell these stories no one cared about. I never liked them, so thought I would sit thru them at SC to see what all they hype was...and boy I wish I would of went to another stage after that show, they ranked along the worst with Cowboy Troy and that little dude 2' someone?? ughhhh

08-12-2010, 09:15 AM
"gofest" is the code. I just got loge seats for me and a friend from michigan. We wanted the $65 seats, but those weren't available at 10:01! WTF?! So, whatever, just got the 3rd price level and got loge 8, row DD. RF isn't cute enough to cry over loge seats. Chris Young however...

IheartMillerLite
08-12-2010, 09:17 AM
I refuse to buy Loge. I'm turning into a snob. I've been trying the Go Country pre-sale and the live nation one since 10 am and nothing! I'll try again Saturday morning I guess...

I sorta am turning into a seat snob too, but like I said in another post, RF keeps slipping down the list of "favorites" for me, so I'm not that concerned. And, I'm mostly really excited about who I'm going with - I don't see her that often and I know we'll have a blast regardless.

presales are shit these days, not even worth the effort most of the time. better off waiting for the regular onsale or just buying from someone closer to the show. there always seem to be deals in the last week or two before a big show from people who had plans change.

08-12-2010, 12:33 PM
Funny story I saw RF a few years ago. My friend and I decided to go day of the show and we bought 2 tickets for $45 each in the 28th row but then went down closer to take a few pictures, flirted w a few security guys and ended up being able to rest on arms on the stage!!! So since I cant do better than that I think I will pass on this one . . . .

I just got mine for me and my friend Heath tonight (found an online code, got em for $14.75 each, total of $38.25 for 2 tix after the stupid fees). Less than $20 each, not bad. Seats are eh, but it'll be fun and we can sneak down most likely.

This is how I imagine Rascall Flats was formed:

Nashville Exec: Boy bands are a big deal these days, we should go buy one of those

Assistant: Yes sir, right away, sir

Nashville Exec: Go out and find me a singer with frosted hair and shiny clothes. Kind of a what do you call them? "Metrosexual" looking guys. There's a karaoke bar at this address...

Later that day....

Assistant: Well, this is the address but it appears the building was turned into a Hometown Buffet.

(Walks inside and approaches the hostess)

Assistant: Do you have anybody here that can sing?

Hostess: Well, that pudgy guy in the corner hums to himself every day while grazing in the fried foods section.

Assistant: He'll have to do.... Is there a Supercuts and an Urban Outfitters nearby?

Amy and Jess are still going. Crystal, Carly and I are not. It's the first day of school (work), and I'd rather not have to leave super early the first day, since Dierks will *hopefully* be at WWF.

Dierks is also currently at the VC Fair RIGHT NOW, but your truly had a meeting AT NIGHT! awesome.

Thought she put on a great show!

Had the most ginormous corn dog I've ever seen in my life....couldn't quite finish it (but almost did - ha!)...and tried the chocolate covered bacon (thanks to Jeanne and Yvonne joining me - since I didn't want to try it on my own) :) Not bad! More chocolate and less bacon-y than I was expecting!
