Need to Know – Before You Go

Tickets & Seating

Tickets are non-refundable
Seating includes: GA Covered Grandstands, GA Uncovered Seating, and Gold Buckle
GA seating is first come, first served, so arrive early for the best spots
Covered Grandstand tickets are the same price for adults and kids ages 7+
Kids 6 and under are free in GA seating unless seated in Gold Buckle
Lap children (around age 3 and under) are welcome
Groups of 5 or more should arrive early to sit together
All seats have a great view, but prime GA spots fill up fast, so plan to arrive by 6:30–7:00 PM

Arrival & timing

Gates open at 5:30 PM
Come early to grab food, look around, and get settled before the rodeo starts
The rodeo runs about two hours, sometimes a little longer depending on the night

Accessibility

Ask front gate staff for assistance when you arrive

Children

This is a kid-friendly rodeo with events they can participate in as well!
We have play areas to enjoy
No sitting on fences or entering contestant-only areas: next to arena, stall area, camping, etc…
Parents/guardians are responsible for their children; attend at your own risk.

What to Expect

We rodeo rain or shine, no exceptions
If you’re in uncovered seating, you’re part of the weather too, so dress for it
Evenings can cool down quickly, especially earlier in the season
Bring a jacket or blanket, you’ll be glad you did
We have sidewalks… but we also have dirt paths too. Dirt + Rain = Mud. You do the math.

What You Can Bring

Water Bottles, Diaper bags/formula
Blankets or seat cushions.
Umbrella – must make sure it is secured from wind and not impeding other attendees views.

What You Cannot Bring

No outside food, soda, or alcohol
No dogs or animals of any kind; ADA-compliant service dogs only, must be leashed and under control – this is out of the safety of our animals.
No drones
No professional photography/video without a media pass and prior permission

Do not approach the rodeo animals, especially bulls as they can be unpredictable.
Look but don’t touch! Even horses can mistake your fingers for some tasty treats.
Food is not included with your ticket and must be purchased separately
Camping is not available for spectators and is reserved for contestants only.
