SD State Fair and SDSU Athletics Come Together for Ticket Promotion

The South Dakota State Fair and South Dakota State University (SDSU) Athletics have teamed up on a Labor Day weekend ticket promotion.

Anyone purchasing tickets for the Jackrabbits football team’s season opener Aug. 31 against Duquesne will receive a one-day pass to attend the South Dakota State Fair, which runs Aug. 31-Sept. 4. SDSU season ticket holders will receive their State Fair passes in the mail with delivery of their season tickets.

Single-game purchasers will receive their State Fair passes one of three ways:

  • In the mail with their tickets
  • In person if purchasing tickets in advance at the Jackrabbits Ticket Office or at the Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium box office on game day
  • Print-at-home or will-call ticket purchasers can claim State Fair passes at the stadium will-call windows on game day

Assistant fair manager Candi Briley says the partnership is a good fit for both the state fair and SDSU

The 2017 South Dakota State Fair will run from Thursday, Aug. 31, through Monday, Sept. 4. Channel Seeds preview night will be Wednesday, Aug. 30.
