SPRINGFIELD (WGEM) - The Illinois State Fair Box Office will be opening for in-person grandstand ticket purchases Thursday.

Regular box office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturday, Aug. 5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In addition to concert tickets, fairgoers will be able to purchase tickets at the box office to ISF Bares, Broncs and Bulls rodeo, the ISF Championship Demolition Derby and the ITPA Truck & Tractor Pulls presented by the Illinois Soybean Association.

“We are excited to be partnering with the Illinois Department of Agriculture to help host this event,” said Illinois Soybean Vice Chair Ron Kindred. “The Illinois State Fair is a wonderful event where guests are able to combine fun and education all in one place. We are thrilled to be providing the opportunity for people to enjoy the tractor pull where many tractors will be using biodiesel blends made with soybean oil from Illinois farms.”
