Mark your calendars for Saturday night, July 25, 2026, at 7pm to come to the Box Seat and Infield Auction in the grandstand. To enjoy the fair to the fullest, you should consider buying a box seat or infield space. This gives you a great seat for all nights of the fair, with the opportunity to leave the grandstand or infield space to get some fair food, visit with friends, check out the Expo Hall, and still have your reserved area to come back to.

We will start by auctioning off the 36 box seats. It’s always fun to find out who your neighbors will be for the week. Next, we’ll auction off the 26 infield areas. If you get the winning bid on an infield space, you get your choice from the spots remaining.

If you are unable to come to the auction, please contact any of our fair directors, and they will bid on a spot for you. Each box seat and infield space comes with 2 season tickets and a parking ticket. Box seat buyers have a reserved parking area north of the grandstand. The infield buyers have an infield parking area. Additional season tickets can be purchased online or at any of the Mt. Sterling banks.
