Van Halen Tickets On Sale April 4

Tickets for Van Halen at Western Fair District this summer will go on sale to the general public at 10am Saturday, April 4.

Ticketmaster says tickets for the August 5, 2015 show will cost $101 -- $82.50 plus $18.50 in service fees. There will be a limit of eight tickets per customer.

The announcement that Free 981 welcomes Van Halen to Western Fair District this summer is apparently just the start of the creation of a new concert venue for London.

The outdoor show, with opener Kenny Wayne Shepherd, marks the first time the district will stage an outdoor concert outside of fair-time. The horse-racing oval will hold up to 20,000 people.
