Well, from the horse's mouth, I guess they were still wanting to make a hard summer run, even though they joined ERA so that they wouldn't have to hit as many rodeos for the sake of themselves, their travel expenses and their families. Oh, wait...that's a little contradictory isn't it!?

| However, the San Angelo Rodeo still is very healthy. Wednesday and Thursday nights' performances were sold out at the Foster Communications Coliseum. Tonight's PRCA rodeo final round performance and Saturday's Cinch Chute-Out Rodeo also are sellouts.
PROOF that fans dont care about WHICH contestants are competing! | |

| Exactly, it says that in the article. That although they lost some of the big names, it didn't affect their ticket sales at all. | |

| I've been following this whole story and I can honestly see it from both viewpoints so I'm not really sure I've decided on which side I agree with. With that being said, I did find it interesting in this article that it says 75% of the ticket sales were before the 5th and the ruling was on the 4th. Did the 75% who bought tickets do so thinking the big names were going to be there?
"We sold about 75 percent of our tickets before our first performance (on Feb. 5)." High profile riders such as Brazile, Ohl and Foss were excluded from the San Angelo Rodeo, along with all other PRCA approved rodeos, as a result of a Feb. 4 court ruling"

| Bottom line is that these rodeo super stars aren't the draw that they seem to think they are. Do people enjoy watching them? Absolutely! But if they are going to a rodeo, they have no idea who is up until they sit down and buy a program. The general public is not following these guys from city to city to cheer them on. If Tuf or Trevor or Fallon is at a rodeo, great. If not, it won't cost ticket sales. The public loves the sport more than just a few of the players. | |

Oh, wait...that's a little contradictory isn't it!? Why is the fact that some of the ERA contestants were planning to continue entering PRCA rodeos a big deal? Wanting to make a summer run and enter the biggest rodeos - if you're qualified to get into them - why not do it? There's all kinds of competitors in ERA, they'd plan the stops around those that want to continue to go to the NFR as well. The thing with people belonging to an association is that they all have different plans/goals. One might have not intention of going down the road hard, another might be all about hitting as many as they can fit in. I know that there's lots of barrel racers that belong to the same associations I do.....their goals/plan don't apply to me or mine to them. (THANK GOODNESS )
This is why it is a big deal.... They would welcome them with open arms if it wasn't for the ERA members doing this....
Okay, I am going to get a little off the Advertising subject and possibly make some people mad, but I have been receiving numerous messages in reference to the PRCA / ERA battle, so I wanted to address the issue. Again, as I stated prior , this is based my experiences and opinions, and if you do not agree, I respect your position. So here goes
I know I don't have to explain the fact that there is thousands of opinions, agreements as well as disagreements flying through the social media world. I have read many of them, but through all of the information and opinions that have been posted the root of the problem and what really really caused the uproar is not being addressed.
Contestants and fans who are supporting the ERA , by the way, I DO NOT, and my post will explain why that is, think that the PRCA are the bad guys and are just trying to control the destiny of the contestants and deny them from competing in the ERA. NOT TRUE.
Here are some facts that some or most of you may not be aware of . The PRCA retaliated against the ERA for one reason and one reason only. That being UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICE. No company, no organization or entity of any type is going to lie down and allow another company, organization or entity to attack and or take their assets without a fight. While the PRCA does not own the PRCA rodeos that are hosted throughout the year, those events are sanctioned by the PRCA and are assets to them in that they generate a portion of the funding that operates the PRCA and they are products of the hard work that the PRCA has invested in the events with marketing and sponsorship assistance and with thousands of hours and dollars of publicity.
Now most of you may be a little stumped right now.
These next statements are factual, because it happened to me on a larger rodeo that I market and am involved in heavily.
The ERA went behind the backs of the PRCA and the stock contractors and went directly to PRCA rodeo committees and tried to sell the concept of taking one - two of the already in place performances and converting them to ERA sanctioned events.
This is simply unethical. Any business of any kind would have retaliated in the same situation. The PRCA and the stock contractors simply came back with tactics to protect their business assets and income. Wouldn't you have done the same.
Everyone is comparing the ERA and the PBR. The difference in
the PBR, they went to new cities, or went into a city that hosted a PRCA rodeo at a different time of year, built their own and took their hard knocks to do it all. They did not try to manipulate currently successful events to change to their association.
The truth is being avoided in all of the publicity. This is the root of the problem

| ^^^^Cody was one of those rodeos. I bet they approached Spanish Forks and Dodge City too. All high dollar rodeos. Cody is over the 4th of July so that blows the theory of doing the ERA in the spring and fall out of the water. | |

 Wishing I were a Wildcat
Location: 'Hawk Country | The fight comes down to the ERA trying to poach already established rodeos. That isn't BUILDING rodeo.
New rodeos/new venues is building rodeo.
If, from the very beginning, they had done this, as they've had to since the rodeo committees said no to going to them, I don't think it would have been this big of a fight.
And yes, they approached Dodge City and Cheyenne.

| So the ERA basically went to big money, summer rodeos and said, "Put our members in your rodeos. Give them a free pass instead of entering and earning a spot in the finals like the rest of the card carrying PRCA members because they are so great". Classy.
Let's just call a spade a spade and cut to the chase. This whole thing, IMO, has never been about the good of the cowboys. It's been about getting Charmayne back out there where she can be seen and make money without having to travel. Her husband is spearheading it and is the CEO. It's about them, not the good of rodeo. There. I said it. | |

I would bet that the percentage of rodeo attendees, that can actually name two or more contestants, is very low.
Many rodeos are more of an annual local festival than a quest to see the stars of the sport. | |

Overall, it's mostly about limiting competition.
There is a finite amount of prize money and an infinate amount of contestants chasing it. | |

Location: South Central Florida | I think I'm not an ERA fan. I have issues with the PRCA but over all, if they were not basing so much of their existance on being a prior PRCA Champion, that would be different. I LOVE great competition...good competition makes you better. Would love to see another LARGE national organization compete with the PRCA. However, start from scratch. The PBR did it from scratch. Start an association and let the big shots build it themselves. I'm just looking from the outside. | |
