SPOONER RODEO TICKETING & PRICING
***IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR 2026 RODEO TICKET SALES***
The Spooner Rodeo has been around for 72 years and during that time has seen its fair share of changes & updates to the ticketing and seating at the arena. Moving into 2026 will be another year with permanent changes to the ticketing for the Friday & Saturday performances. Check out the details below before purchasing your tickets to the 72nd Annual Spooner Heart of the North Rodeo in July.
- There will no longer be Reserved Seating & General Admission Seating sections on Friday & Saturday. Instead, there will be Tiered Ticket Pricing and "assigned seating" around the entire arena similar to large sporting venues such as the Xcel Energy Center, US Bank Stadium, Amsoil Arena, etc.
- No increases to pricing in 2026. Although there is a switch to the Tiered Ticket Pricing for Friday & Saturday performances, the ticket prices will remain the same as patrons saw in previous years. Tier 1: $26 Ages 13+ and $13 Ages 12 & Under | Tier 2: $22 Ages 13+ and $11 Ages 12 & Under
- Due to these changes on Friday & Saturday, there will no longer be a 3-Day Pass available. Previously, the 3-Day Pass was for the General Admission sections only. Without having General Admission sections, we are no longer able to accomodate the 3-Day Pass.
- There will be no changes to the ticket offerings to the Thursday Performance meaning, there is still Family Passes, the same Reserved Seating sections & General Admission Seating sections.
- What is the best way to see these changes? Check out the official seating charts below. You will notice there are no changes for Thursday. Friday/Saturday will depict the Tiered Ticket Pricing, as well as designating which sections fall into which tier.
Why is the Spooner Rodeo making these changes for Friday & Saturday performances? Safety. Due to such large crowds on Friday & Saturday it was the decision on the Spooner Rodeo Committee that it would be safer for each fan attending the rodeo have an assigned seat for the performance. This will eliminate the previously known "General Admission Seating' from getting over crowded by folks sitting in sections they shouldn't be.

Know Before You Go
- Stadium Chairs: While stadium chairs are allowed, they may be no wider/deeper than 12". If the seat/chair hangs off the back of the bleachers you will be asked to remove the seat by Rodeo Committee Personnel. This is in place due to limiting the leg room for the people in the row behind you.
- Strollers: If you plan to keep your child in a stroller throughout the entire evening, you must purchase a child's seat in Row 1. If you do not have a ticket for the child in the stroller you will be asked to place the stroller along the backside of the bleachers for the performance.
- Carry Ins: There are no carry ins of outside food or beverages to the Rodeo. There are concessions & beverage options available from the time the gates open until the end of the rodeo performance.
- Handicap/Accessible Seating: The arena does not have a specific section designated for accessibility seating, instead designates the first row in every section as accessible seating. The first row is still the traditional bleacher seat however, if a person is in a wheelchair/scooter/etc., they would be able to back their mobility device up to their seat number while their neighbor would be seated on the bleacher right next to them.
- Children Tickets: A child's ticket needs to be purchased. If you do not plan to have them in a baby-wear carrier then it is highly recommended any child under the age of 12 have a ticket. A child's "stuff" such as diaper bag, carrier, etc. needs to stay with in the seats of your group. On sold out nights, it is best to have the extra room & purchase the children's ticket ahead of time.
