Location: South of Canada and North of Mexico | How are the prices and selection if you buy after you get to Las Vegas? This will be my 4th year going out and we go with tickets, which are good seats but would like to see about getting into the plaza level without paying $150+. Is it possible? |

| Those low prices are hard to come by. Most upper level seats are going to cost you $125 plus if you wait until NFR week. My last minute plaza seats cost $275 each last year, just had to have 2 extra. Those cheap tickets just dont seem to exist anymore. |

Location: South of Canada and North of Mexico | I have been lucky to have the same seats the last 3 years and probably this year as well from a season ticket holder, row c balcony and I give less than 100 each for but have also known people to get plaza seats for 75-150. I thought ticket exchange sold for face value? |

Location: MO | My first time was last year and the people we went with had been before and said wait. I was abrely able to get mad dash tickets. Ended up with great seats, but it was a stressful hassle. |

Location: Adopt a homeless pet - www.petfinder.com! | We have two tickets for both Dec 7 and 8th, but are only planning on going one night. Once we get closer and decide on which night we're going I'll be selling the other two. Maybe we can set up something here on BHW for tickets? Just a thought. |

We loved watching the rodeo at the South Point last year. They had multiple rooms set up stairs. The big screens are pretty cool and the seats were very comfortable. We go to one or 2 performances and then watch on the big screen the other 2 nights. |

I wish that would suffice, but I don't think it will. Honestly I am surprised about how difficult they are being. I think just being out there with friend sounds fun, but I wasn't anticipating this much of a headache this early on! Lol. |

That is cool!! I've never purchased from there so I'd be interested too, since we are looking for tickets. |

| We always buy from scalpers. We usually get upper level tickets for around $70 a piece. My husband is good at negotiating with them. Me not so much |

Those prices are ridiculous. The Upper Balcony face values are $55.00 each. |

The more in your group the bigger PIA it is. We tried it one year and it seemed all we were doing was hurrying up to wait. I swore we would never do that again. If you just meet them for the rodeo and are going bar hopping afterward it might work but going to the shopping venues etc. during the day, it's not fun at all. JMHO |

Location: South of Canada and North of Mexico | Prices are crazy, I've yet to see a ticket listed for face value. I know face value in plaza is no where near what some are priced at, think it also depends on the round and night. We watched live feeds at Gold Coast, decent viewing room decent priced drinks and Joe Beaver and Donnie Gay meet there afterwards as do a few cowboys/cowgirl for the show Joe Beaver and Donnie Gay do there. I don't think we got to Southpoint early enough the other end year because we couldn't find a place to watch the feeds. |

Last year they had feeds in various ballrooms upstairs with Big Screen TV's and very comfortable seating.
Friday and Saturday are always high tickets just like the rooms are the highest on those nights. |

Nope, the online ticket exchange is the WORST thing that ever happened to NFR tickets. Its just yet ANOTHER ticket outlet for people to make money off their tickets. You could get plaza tickets for that cheap about 5 years ago, not now. |

Location: kansas | Oh that is what I am worried about, one couple is already being a PIA, yesterday is when we got told that they wouldn't go unless we have tickets in our hands. I about said then don't go, if you want to be this difficult you must not want to go that bad, or maybe help me look for tickets. My husband and I are the only ones that rodeo, so it seems like they think I am the only one who will be able to find tickets 
But the other couple and us are thinking that we will do things together but also have our alone time as well, so I think they will be alot of fun to go with, the already difficult couple is who I am worried about... |
