Best Value Tickets (Under $100)
- Section L, Row 9 ($99): Great mid-level view of all rodeo action. These side-section seats offer clear sightlines to barrels and bucking chutes at a budget-friendly price. Best for groups (4+ tickets available).
Sweet Spot Seats (Balanced Price & View)

- Section L, Row 1 ($273): Closest side-section seats with unbeatable views of bucking stock action (8 tickets remaining).
View Comparison & Recommendations
- Grandstand vs Side Sections: Grandstand (A/P) offers head-on views ideal for timed events. Side sections (L/E) provide better angles for rough stock events.
- Row Considerations: Rows 1-3 see dirt spray but feel the energy. Rows 5-9 offer the best overview of all events without losing detail.
- Group Tip: The Section L ($99) tickets offer the best per-person value for families/groups wanting to experience the full rodeo atmosphere.
Premium Experience Alert
For true rodeo enthusiasts, the Section L front row tickets ($273) place you just feet from where bull riders dismount - the most thrilling (and potentially messy!) seats in the house. These often sell out first.
Last-Minute Strategy
- Grandstand tickets at $127 have the highest availability (36 total). Waitlist these if hoping for price drops.
- Only 6 front-row Section E tickets remain - book immediately for timed event fans.
