Houston Rodeo 2018 Season Tickets On Sale; Garth Brooks Headlines

HOUSTON, TX — Season tickets for the 2018 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) went on sale Tuesday, and it's not unfathomable that more season tickets will be sold this season as legendary country music artist Garth Brooks will open and close the rodeo.

Tickets will also probably be hard to get for Brooks as season ticket holders get to see the shows, and his stardom will most likely leave very few, if any, tickets for individual purchase. Season tickets guarantee the same seat for all 20 performances, and options start at $360, plus shipping and handling. Pricing is per individual ticket cost. There is a four-ticket purchase limit per household.

The three-week event starts Feb. 27 and concludes March 18, with Brooks playing bookends. Due to ticket demand and availability, all Garth Brooks tickets will be sold in advance of the rodeo concert line-up announcement and ticket on-sale, which is tentatively scheduled for January 2018. A minimum of 18,000 tickets total for the two Garth Brooks concerts will go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017 (Online Waiting Room opens at 9:30 a.m.). These tickets will be located in the Loge and Upper Level sections of NRG Stadium.

Tickets will be sold online only on a first-come, first-served basis, and they will not be available for purchase in person or over the phone.

HLSR also has a strict policy against scalping tickets — buying them and selling them at a higher value — per policy on their website. They include:

1. Your season tickets can be voided.
2. You could lose the right to purchase season tickets in the future.
3. HLSR members who get caught will lose their membership privileges and be banned for life.
4. Volunteers will be removed from their committees and banned for life.
