The time has come for country fans and rodeo enthusiasts to saddle up as Houston Rodeo tickets are set to drop this Thursday. Mark your calendars for a wild ride of ticket sales in two separate waves, with prices ranging from an affordable $25 up to a premium $400 for the plush seats. The Houston Rodeo, an extravaganza of livestock showdown and musical performances, will storm the NRG Stadium from February 27 through March 17.
For those desperate to get their hands on tickets, act fast or you might be left in the dust. The first wave will feature tickets for the February 27 through March 7 shows, boot-scooting on sale at 10 a.m. sharp. According to Houston Public Media, the digital 'waiting room' queue kicks off at 9:30 a.m., where guests will be corralled before being allowed to race for the checkout.
Wave two isn't for the weak of heart either, with tickets for the March 8-17 shows bucking into the digital arena at 2 p.m. This time, the waiting room opens up at 1:30 p.m., readying fans for the online stampede. The RodeoHouston mobile app will be your trusty steed here, as tickets are to be delivered electronically within 48 hours of purchase via AXS Mobile ID Delivery.
Major acts like Blake Shelton and Nickelback are sure to be crowd-pleasers, with show-stopping performances set to take the rodeo arena by storm. "Jelly Roll, Major Lazer, Jonas Brothers, and Lainey Wilson" are among the hot tickets, buzzing with excitement on social media, as noted by the Houston Chronicle. The headline acts will saddle up after the final rodeo events, with the weeknight shows starting around 9 p.m. and the weekend gigs around 5 p.m.
Miss the on-sale by a country mile? Don't fret just yet. Verified resale tickets will be up for grabs around noon for the first wave and 4 p.m. for the second, giving another chance to lasso those elusive passes. But remember, there's a ten-ticket limit per entertainer, so plan your posse accordingly. And for those who enjoy a good old-fashioned parade, Buc-ee's CEO Arch "Beaver" Aplin III will be leading the charge as grand marshal of the rodeo's downtown parade at 10 a.m. on February 24, as spilled by Houston Public Media.
