The Canfield Fair is partnering with JAC LIVE to book the music acts for the 2017 Canfield Fair. In addition, the Fair will hire Ticketmaster as the ticketing agent for all 2017 Grandstand events. The agreement represents the first time the two local entities have partnered for bookings and the first time the Canfield Fair has used Ticketmaster as its ticketing agent.
“The Canfield Fair and its Board of Directors knew that the time was right to make the entertainment stronger at the Fair and to move to a partnership with organizations that have a larger, more global reach,” said George Roman, director.
Besides its new partnership with the Canfield Fair, JAC LIVE also handles the bookings for concerts at the Covelli Centre in downtown Youngstown and W.D. Packard Music Hall in Warren.
“There are so many great traditions in this Valley, but none quite like the Canfield Fair. It is a true honor and privilege to be working on such an esteemed and highly regarded event,” said Eric Ryan of JAC LIVE. “One of our first orders of business was to bring on Ticketmaster as our ticketing agent. … They are the undisputed industry leaders and they will expand the methods of purchase in a clear online, phone, and outlet format.”
“Over the years, Eric and his team have done an exceptional job of bringing some of the top artists to the Valley and we’re excited to have him continue that excellence here at the Canfield Fair,” said Roman.
The Canfield Fair will announce the first act coming to the 2017 Fair on Monday, April 17.
