Thu Jan 16 13:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Tickets on Sale Now: Beware of Scalpers and Scams
**HOUSTON, TX (January 16, 2025)** – Tickets for the highly anticipated 2025 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo went on sale this morning. Organizers warn fans to be cautious of scalpers and online scams as they purchase their tickets.
Tickets are being sold in two waves, both utilizing a waiting room system. While joining the waiting room early offers no advantage, tickets start at $25 plus a $5 convenience fee, with prices varying depending on seating. Each customer is limited to 10 tickets per purchase. After reaching the limit, verified resale tickets can be found through AXS, the Rodeo’s official ticket provider.
Concerns have been raised about ticket scalping, with one anonymous committee member reporting seeing tickets resold for up to $250, significantly above their face value. Additionally, ticket scams, where buyers send money but never receive tickets, are a persistent problem. One instance involved an individual losing money after purchasing tickets through a third-party site.
To ensure a safe purchasing experience, the Rodeo urges fans to buy tickets only through official channels: RodeoHouston.com and AXS.
