We arrived 40 minutes early and when we got in, we were told by an attendant that the seats have been full for over an hour. There were 6 adults and 5 small kids, that didn’t see anything for a half hour so we left. I know the tickets said rain or shine, but if it would have said potential standing room only we would have not waisted our money. How can the fire department over sell the seating? Isn’t that a hazard? We were cheated and thus should be criminal to sell what you can’t provide. When we left a half hour into the show people were still being sold tickets to an over full capacity show. The people putting on this show should be ashamed.

Purchased tickets 2 weeks in advance only to turn around and leave before the event started. We were there 30 min before the start time, and there was no place to stand, let alone sit. Security yells at you if you stop to look for a seat, and when you go talk to someone about the overcrowding, they simply say leave if you dont like it. I go to a lot of rodeos and was excited to see this one, but they will never see another dime from me.
This event was beyond oversold and there was no where to stand much less sit. My family and I kept trying to look for a spot while getting yelled at by others to get out of the way. At times it was unavoidable as we would get stuck behind other people who were also looking for seating. With no way out and while waiting for people ahead of us to advance my kids were pushed and yelled at to move. There were open spots on benches but every single person we asked if spot was available would rudely respond that it was taken. We ended up leaving without enjoying any of what I paid for because I was more concerned about the safety of my kids at that point. When I left, many others were leaving due to the same reason and tickets were STILL being sold!!!!! I’ve seen bad reviews on google and on Facebook with no accountability from the organizers. I called requesting a refund with no success. On google review the organization requested my contact information which I immediately sent and till this day they have not reached out to me. Don’t throw your $ away by attending this event. It was the most frustrating experience I’ve ever had with an event like this. I would give it zero stars if I could.
