Tickets
Online tickets sales for this year's pageant will start approximately 4 weeks prior to the state pageant.
There are four price levels of tickets available for this year’s pageant. Below are the details for each, and how you can purchase your tickets. All tickets are assigned seating and you will be able to select your specific seats whether ordering online or in person. We recommend purchasing your tickets either in person during the contestant check-in on Friday night or on Saturday morning, or purchasing your tickets in person prior to the shows on Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. If you choose to purchase your tickets from Ticketmaster either online or over the phone, Ticketmaster will change you a sizable service fee per ticket.
