TicketHold | Great Jones County Fair Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at the Great Jones County Fair

The Great Jones County Fair, held in Monticello, Iowa, is one of the Midwest’s premier entertainment destinations, featuring concerts, rodeos, and family events. The fairgrounds’ grandstand offers a mix of reserved and general admission seating, ensuring options for every budget and preference.

Seating Chart Breakdown

  • Front Sections (Rows 1-10): Closest to the stage, ideal for immersive concert experiences. Limited legroom but unbeatable proximity.
  • Middle Sections (Rows 11-25): Balanced views with slight elevation, perfect for fans who want clarity without being too close.
  • Upper Sections (Rows 26+): Budget-friendly with panoramic views, though distant for detail-oriented performances.
  • Track Seating (General Admission): Standing-room-only area near the stage—great for energetic crowds but lacks seating comfort.

Best Seats for Different Events

Concerts: Middle-center sections (Rows 11-20) offer optimal sound and sightlines. Rodeos: Lower sections near the arena provide thrilling action views.

Seat Views & Obstructions

  • Lower sections may have slight stage obstructions (e.g., equipment).
  • Upper sections provide clearer sightlines over crowds but lose facial details.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Boxes: Premium seating with exclusive amenities and private restrooms.
  • Accessibility: Designated wheelchair-accessible areas with companion seating.

Pro Tips

  • Check fairground maps for temporary structures that may block views.
  • Arrive early for general admission to secure prime spots.
  • Bundle tickets with parking passes for convenience.
