- WHEN DID
FAN FAIR BEGIN?
Fan Fair started in 1972 after fans started showing up at the annual DJ
convention. Country Music leaders offered Fan Fair as an alternative and
5,000 people attended the first event, which was held at Nashville's
Municipal Auditorium. The event moved to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in
1982.

- Your Fan Fair wristband is required for admittance into all
exhibit buildings and grandstand areas. You must wear it in order to gain access to the
Fan Fair grounds.

purchase. There are also more than 20,000 public parking spaces in the greater
Downtown area.
- ARE VIDEO CAMERAS ALLOWED AT THE FAN FAIR SHOWS?
- Because of union agreements and regulations, VIDEO CAMERAS ARE NOT
PERMITTED AT THE STAGE SHOWS IN THE FAIRGROUNDS GRANDSTAND AREA OR DURING GRAND OLE OPRY
PERFORMANCES. You are welcome to use your video camera at any other Fan Fair activity
including inside the exhibit halls.
-
- WHO SHOULD I NOTIFY IF I HAVE QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS?

-
- WILL THERE BE SPECIAL ACCESS FOR HANDICAPPED REGISTRANTS?
- A special viewing of the exhibit halls will take place on
Wednesday, June 17 from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.

tickets through a travel agent, tour booker, or some other source, you are not on our
mailing list. You should write Fan Fair in November to be assured of receiving Fan Fair
2001 information.
-
-
- ARE PEOPLE ALLOWED TO SAVE SEATS IN THE GRANDSTAND AREA?
- In the spirit of cooperation, Fan Fair attendees are requested not
to hold grandstand seats except for those guests taking necessary restroom breaks.
If you want to keep your seat in front of the stage area, you should stay in that seat and
not attend autograph signing in the exhibit area. Also, you should not agree to hold seats
for people wanting to visit the exhibit area. As a Fan Fair participant you agree to these
conditions.
