Most rodeo events are week long affairs or longer and bring in some of the top artists in the music industry. The average rodeo ticket price can vary based on factors like the artist slated to perform, the competitive stage of the rodeo, and even the day of the week. Weekend ticket prices to the more touted rodeos like the National Finals Rodeo, the Houston Rodeo, and the San Antonio Rodeo tend to be a bit higher with Sunday’s usually being the cheapest. However, when premier acts are set to take the stage, the average ticket price can be affected regardless of the day.

This year's Houston Rodeo has a stellar lineup, with Willie Nelson ($87 median ticket price) and Luke Bryan ($80 median ticket price) holding the highest ticket prices. Behind the two top events at the Houston Rodeo are Brad Paisley and Chris Stapleton at a $79 median ticket price. The 2017 Houston Rodeo kicks off on March 7, 2017 and will span for nearly 3 weeks until March 26, 2017.

While concerts have made a huge splash on most rodeos in the country, the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) still claims the reigns as the ultimate rodeo experience and is touted by most as the “Super Bowl of Rodeo.” The 2016 NFR had an average ticket price of $146, slightly up from NFR ticket averages from years past. The final day for this year’s NFR in Las Vegas ranked as the most expensive with an average ticket price of $209. The cheapest average ticket price for the 2016 NFR was at $107 per ticket.
