Price on the ticket is not the price I paid. Is that right?

As explained on our website terms and conditions and in our phone message, we are a private ticket broker and tickets may be sold above face value. Tickets are acquired from many sources including Fan Clubs, Season ticket holders, Rodeo committee members, Sponsors, Radio Stations, etc. Face value printed on the tickets may be based on the season ticket cost if you had bought all 20 shows. This price does not reflect the true cost of acquiring the tickets from various sources. The price you paid reflects current market value based on demand and includes expenses involved in obtaining hard to get tickets.

What if my tickets doesn't scan right at the gate?
It rarely happens, but the ticket barcodes and the scanners are similar to the ones at your grocery store. Sometimes you have to run that can of beans across several times. If your ticket does not scan correctly, please ask the attendant to manually enter the barcode numbers.
