TicketHold | Delaware County Fairgrounds - IA Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Delaware County Fairgrounds

The Delaware County Fairgrounds in Iowa is a versatile venue hosting concerts, rodeos, fairs, and more. Known for its intimate yet lively atmosphere, the fairgrounds offer a mix of grandstand seating, general admission, and VIP options. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you choose the perfect spot.

Seating Chart Overview

  • Grandstand Seating: Covered bleachers with elevated views—ideal for rodeos and concerts. Center sections provide the best sightlines, while side sections may have slight angle limitations.
  • Track/Floor Seating: General admission (unreserved) for close-up action at concerts. Standing room only; arrive early for prime spots.
  • Grass/Lawn Areas: Budget-friendly with limited visibility—bring blankets or chairs for comfort.

Best Seats for Different Events

  • Concerts: Rows 5–15 in the grandstand for balanced sound and visibility.
  • Rodeos: Front rows near the rail for immersive excitement (expect dust/splatter).
  • Family Shows: Mid-grandstand for easy access to concessions and restrooms.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Grandstand seats avoid obstructions, but extreme side sections may have partial stage/arena blind spots. Floor seats offer proximity but limited elevation. Check for tent poles or equipment at outdoor events.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Boxes: Limited private seating with premium sightlines (sold in advance).
  • Accessibility: Designated wheelchair areas with companion seating—request early.

Pro Tips

  • Use TicketHold’s interactive map to preview your view.
  • For rodeos, pack rain gear—seats are uncovered.
  • Lawn seats? Bring cushions for comfort during long events.
