New York State Fair officials today alerted fans of pop star Meghan Trainor to false advertising of online ticket sales for Trainor's concert at the Fair's Chevy Court stage. The concert, on September 3rd is free with admission to the Fair, yet in some cases, tickets are being sold online for more than $1,500 dollars. The problem began with the website meghantrainor-tour.com, which had a link that goes directly to TicketNetwork.com, their page shows a map of the seating areas at the Grandstand, giving the impression the show is at the Fair's paid concert venue and not at the free Chevy Court venue. Consumers wishing to make a complaint can access a free online form at the State Division of Consumer Protection at dos.ny.gov.

The Upstate New York rock group Orleans will perform at the Chevy Court at the New York State Fair at 2:00 PM on Friday, August 28th. Officials said that former members of the Southern Rock Band Little Feat would join Orleans. Orleans was formed in Woodstock in 1972, and had major hits in the 70's with "Dance With Me," "Love Takes Time,” and "Still the One". The Fair has previously announced Chevy Court shows with Everclear & Rick Springfield on August 27th, The Oak Ridge Boys, September 1st & Meghan Trainor on September 3rd.

Meghan Trainor has been added to the New York State Fair line up, she will perform at the Chevy Court at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 3rd. More info can be found at Meghan-Trainor.com.
