Toby Keith announced the dates for his "Hammer Down Tour" earlier today, and now the ticket details for its stop at the Illinois State Fair have been released.

Toby's "Hammer Down Tour" with special guest Kip Moore will stop at the 2013 Illinois State Fair Wednesday, August 14th.

Tickets for the concert will go on sale this Saturday, February 9th beginning at 10 a.m. central time. General admission track tickets for the concert will be $50. Grandstand seats will range from $40 to $50. For the first time the Illinois State Fair will offer VIPit tickets for the Toby Keith concert for $65.

Tickets can be purchased starting Saturday (2/9) through Ticketmaster.com, by calling 1-800-745-3000 or by going to any Ticketmaster outlet.

The new "VIPit" ticket includes a guaranteed, prime viewing location close to the stage. Holders will be escorted to this area, which is being called the "Pit," 30 minutes prior to the opening of all other general admission gates. However, only one thousand will be sold for each show.

State Fair Manager Amy Bliefnick said of the "VIPit" tickets: "A guaranteed, prime viewing location means VIPit ticket holders no longer will have to stand in line all day to get a spot close to the stage. It's a great value and will allow even the most diehard fans to enjoy all the attractions the fair has to offer before they go to their concert."
