JACKSON, Wyo. — Fan-favorite Figure 8 Races will be back at the Teton County Fair this July, but tickets will no longer be available for online purchase, according to a Thursday announcement by Teton County.
Instead, tickets will be sold at the Teton County Fairgrounds Community Building (390 W. Karns Ave.) starting at noon on July 1. The in-person sale will run from noon to 6 p.m. on July 1 and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 2, before the fair and county offices close on July 3 to observe the Independence Day holiday. Sales will resume on July 6 at the Teton County Fair Office (305 W. Snow King Ave.) daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until tickets are sold out. Each ticket costs $45, and there will be a limit of six tickets per person.
In years past, tickets for this popular event have sold out very quickly. Offering in-person ticket sales appears to be a growing trend among local entertainment venues, including King Concerts’ recent sale of Widespread Panic tickets, Center for the Arts’ with its Trey Anastasio ticket sales, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s season pass sales, and others.
The first 70 people in line for Figure 8 tickets will receive a complimentary ticket to the fair concert, according to the announcement.
Tickets for the fair’s other evening events including pig wrestling and the fair rodeo will also go on sale at noon on July 1; those will be available in person and online. The 70th annual Teton County Fair will run from July 18 through 26.
