That is disappointing, but I guess I am not surprised.  A fair is different from an arena concert venue.  I am going to call the fan club office just to make sure, but I think I will be taking my chances in the general sale on the 22nd.  Thanks for the input.

I have just found out that Alan will playing the Clay County Fair on 09/18.  I am so excited.  This is the first time I will not have to travel over two hours to see him.  Tickets for the show go on sale on 06/22.  I have been trying to find out if there will be preferred seating available through the fan club.  I emailed yesterday but have not received a reply so I thought I would try the message boards for an answer.  I would prefer to order via the fan club as I have gotten fantastic seats before using the preferred seat sale and ticket ordering for through the fair website is hit and miss.  I appreciate any help I can get with this question.
