Classic rock band Aerosmith made history before they even got to the California Mid-State Fair to perform.

The band is the first ever musical group coming to the Paso Robles fair to sell out in a single day.

The 14,661 tickets for the July 25 concert, the most expensive in the fair’s history, were gone in a matter of hours Friday after going on sale at 10 a.m.

Ticket outlets, phone lines and online sites were jammed immediately, and some people waited in line overnight to get tickets.
