1. What is the price of admission for the Rodeo and Dance?
You can view admission options and pricing here. We offer General Admission and Reserved Seating. General Admission pricing is based on age. Reserved Seating is based on seat location. Admission covers parking, rodeo, and dance. Food and beverage and activities are separate.
2. Do I need to purchase tickets in advance?
Yes, tickets should be purchased online, ahead of time as we will sell out. We will sell tickets at the gate at the regular admission rate for a 9pm entry to the dance only.
3. What is the seating like?
We have done our best to describe each ticket type and detailed descriptions of each Reserved Section below. Click here to view a map of the arena.
For General Admission: This is open seating without seating assignments so we highly recommend getting into the stands to find your seats prior to the pre-show which begins at 7pm. This is especially important for groups who would like to sit together. *Please note – Our shows do sell out so the closer it gets to show time, the more difficult it becomes to find seats together. General Admission seats can be found on the South and West sides of the arena. They are mostly bleacher seating on the second level and some folding chairs located on the ground level around the perimeter of the South side of the arena.
For Reserved Seating: Guests who purchase Reserved Seats will need to present their tickets to an usher.
Section 101 is on the East end of the arena on the ground level and is accessible by a small set of stairs located right in front of Section 201. These seats are folding chairs on the front row arena rail and closest to the roping chutes.
Section 107 is directly under the Skybox, located near the middle of the South side of the arena, across from the bucking chutes. Section 107, Row A is a bench with a back on the front row arena rail. Section 107, Rows C & D are bleacher seating. While the action during the rodeo takes place all over the arena, guests who select these seats should be aware they may have moments of limited visibility due to beams located along the South side of the arena. Reserved Wheelchair Accessible Seating can be purchased in Section 107. Please note – we also have General Admission Wheelchair Seating.
Section 201 and 202 are located on the East end of the arena on the 2nd level. These are bleacher seats and are closest to the roping chutes.
The Skybox is an elevated platform located behind the Smokehouse near the middle of the South side of the arena across from the bucking chutes. It can only be accessed by stairs. The front row seats are chairs. Behind the row of chairs are 3 cocktail tables with 4 barstools at each table. The table is nice to be able to set down food and drinks. While the action during the rodeo takes place all over the arena, guests who select these seats should be aware they may have moments of limited visibility due to beams located along the South side of the arena.
4. Is there handicap seating available with ramps to the stands?
Yes, General Admission Handicap Seating is available in Sections 203 and 204. General Admission seating is not assigned so it is recommended to arrive early. There are ramps to the stands for those with a wheelchair, walker, or cane. Handcap Reserved Seating is available in Section 107.

On Saturdays during rodeo season, the gates open at 5:00PM, our pre-show starts at 7:00PM, the rodeo begins at 7:30PM, and the Live Band & Dance start at 9:00PM.

Depending on your arrival time, there may be a line of cars to get to our gate attendants and it does take time to park and walk to the rodeo grounds so please plan accordingly.
