Rodehouston tickets go on sale Saturday, January 17 at 10 a.m. through AXS Ticketing via rodehouston.com. The Virtual Waiting Room opens at 9 a.m. on Saturday, but fans can register any time at axs.com/rodeohouston_signup.
The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo (HLSR) moved to the new ticketing system in 2015 touting its fan-friendly technology and robust new features for ticket buyers.
AXS has both a website and a mobile site for ticket purchases, featuring a virtual Waiting Room where customers can “arrive” an hour before ticket sales begin, pre-enter their information, and choose the dates for which they are planning to purchase tickets.
Similar to the physical experience of waiting in line, when the virtual doors open for ticket sales, those customers already in the Waiting Room will be chosen at random to be able to buy their tickets. As buyers complete their transactions and exit the site, more will be randomly selected to enter the store.
A real-time tracker will allow waiting customers to see what levels of seating are still available for their selected rodeo/concert dates. Customers will know when sales have filled their seating level preferences and can choose a different seating level or leave the Waiting Room.
HLSR officials commented the importance of a robust ticketing as a necessity to enhance the fan experience.
