Ticket sales for this year's York Fair - the "Grandstand of Stars" - have already surpassed last year's, said Cres Ottemiller, entertainment director for the York Fair.

"Tickets sales are far, far ahead of last year because of the artists we have been able to confirm," Ottemiller said.

Nevertheless, there are still seats available for all of the fair's shows.

So far, Clay Aiken has been the biggest draw in ticket sales, Ottemiller said.

Only 25 percent of the seats for Aiken's show are still available, he said.

Kid Rock's performance has been the second most successful show, Ottemiller said.

"The Kid is selling a lot of tickets," he said.

In fact, many of the ticket orders for Kid Rock's performance have come from a "long way off," Ottemiller said.

The York Fair begins Friday, Sept. 10, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 19.

Ottemiller expects ticket sales to stay strong.

"This year we are pleased to say we have a strong grandstand program and every show is selling well," he said
