PLEASANTON, CA – In response to fan demand, Alameda County Fair is now offering advance Premium Reserved seating for its Big O Tires Concert Series in 2016.
Premium Reserved seats are located in the front sections of the Fair’s amphitheater and can be purchased in advance for $19.95, including Fair admission, through the Fair’s website here.
Concerts have always been free with admission at the Fair, but fans would often wait in line all day to get a good seat. With a Premium Reserved seat ticket, fans can opt to enjoy more of the Fair and still have a great seat at the show of their choice.
