No. If you need transportation while on the fairgrounds, you can find scooters for rent as you enter gate 5 and gate 9. This year there will also be Trams available that will run routes on the fairgrounds.

The Kansas State Fair does not sell Meet & Greet passes. Most performers at the Nex-Tech Wireless Grandstand offer these through their online fan club websites. Sometimes radio stations are provided Meet & Greet passes through the artist and have giveaways on air also. Once in awhile the Kansas State Fair will receive a few of these from artist groups and/or radio stations. We give these away through contests on our Facebook page.

For your safety, certain rides may close during severe weather and reopen as soon as possible. Concessions and games will remain open unless conditions are extremely severe.

The Nex-Tech Wireless Grandstand is an outdoor venue. Most seats offer some cover from rain. In the rare event that the concert is cancelled, a press release will be issued and information will be posted on our website. Tickets will then be refunded or can be exchanged for another event.
