Sat. night's finals pull will likely be sold out, but the Fri. night and Sat. matinee pulls should have seats. Since ticket sales for the pulls are promoted by Ticketmaster, I highly recommend that you do not buy from the innocent bystander peddling tickets at or near the front door. Ticket scalping is illegal and costly.  Check with official ticket office online at:

As previously mentioned, the Farm Show site is adjacent to the Louisville Int'l airport (plenty of cabs). As for hotel rooms, we were able to lock into some last year (last minute) at the Crowne Plaza (a Holiday Inn franchise) across the street from the entrance to the show at a reasonable price...."for show dates."
