SAN ANGELO, TX-- Tickets for the 86th annual San Angelo Livestock Show and Rodeo go on sale at 10 am today.
Tickets are available through our website and start at $12.50. For the first time, fans can select which seat they want when buying tickets online. The first performance of this year's rodeo will take place Friday, February 2, at 7:30 pm.
The 2018 installment will feature a few new attractions.
First, there will be a brand new wine tent. Executive Director Justin Jonas announced this on Friday, at a press conference, with a slight chuckle, saying this is for people "who don't want to fight the crowd at the Beer Barn."
Jonas also announced the first annual San Angelo Rodeo Round Up Car Show which will take place Feb. 4, the first Sunday of the rodeo.
Another change to the rodeo in 2018 will be the midway. Jonas told the media that the center area of the midway will be "primarily a food court." He would go on to say "hopefully there will be room for you to sit down under a tent."
The Wrangler Network has also picked up the rodeo as one of their live stream events. Historic rodeos such as the Calgary Stampede, Cheyenne Frontier Days and the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo have been broadcast by the Wrangler Network. Austin Seiler, an up-and-coming broadcaster, will have the call of the rodeo.
The last weekend of the rodeo will start on Wednesday, Feb. 14. The PRCA finals will take place that following Friday with the Cinch Chute Out happening that Saturday.

I have now spent the better part of 30 minutes trying to order tickets online. Tickets were in cart and the countdown begins. Finally to the point I can enter my credit card info and the timer that started at 10 minutes is down to 2. Click the submit button and watch the timer countdown to zero and lose the tickets.
Why wasn't this process handled by a company with experience in ticket sales, maybe TicketMaster?
