General Admission concert seating is free with your admission to the Arizona State Fair.

Click here to see a seating chart of the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Even though the concerts are free, you can also reserve better seats in advance for a reasonable charge. Reserved seats will go on sale on in mid-September. To reserve seats, you may purchase tickets at the Box Office located at 1826 W. McDowell Road in Phoenix from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday - Friday. The Arizona State Fair box office is open for walk-up sales only. You can also purchase tickets online, or by phone through Ticketmaster, or at Ticketmaster outlets.

Tip: Doors open one hour before concert time. For popular concerts, it is not unusual for people to line up an hour before the doors open (two hours before concert time) for general admission seating. There are more than 14,000 seats in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
