NFR Access ONLY Ticket Platform Provides Another Way to Experience the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo

Concourse-only ticket to provide access to all themed interactive areas and live feed of the rodeo in both the Cowboy Corral and The Cowboy Channel Bar

The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and Las Vegas Events announced that the NFR Access ONLY Ticket will be returning in 2024. The NFR Access ONLY ticket provides entry into the Thomas & Mack Center, but not a seat. It provides access to all the experiences at the NFR – Cowboy Corral, The Cowboy Channel Bar, Bull ‘N Barrel Saloon and ProRodeo Zone – and then allows you to watch the rodeo in the designated areas.

An NFR Access ONLY ticket, available for $75 (including all fees), is available. When rodeo fans purchase an NFR Access ONLY ticket, they will have multiple entertainment options to enjoy. For more information on the NFR Access ONLY ticket and to purchase, click here.

“For 38 years and running, Las Vegas and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association have partnered to grow and evolve the greatest show on dirt and one of the longest-running sporting events in Las Vegas,” said Tim Keener, president of Las Vegas Events. “The NFR has recorded more than 360 consecutive sold-out performances. Our goal is to give rodeo fans another opportunity to enjoy the spectacle and excitement at the Thomas & Mack Center and find their own NFR Experience.”

The opportunities to enjoy the Wrangler NFR experience are abundant at the Thomas & Mack Center. Rodeo fans with an NFR Access ONLY ticket will be greeted by the ProRodeo Zone and the StubHub Fan Zone which include sponsor tents, live music, the official ProRodeo and Wrangler NFR merchandise trailer, food and beverage options, video screens and tables for attendees to congregate. Teton Ridge also will be hosting their live pre-show from the area.

When rodeo fans enter the building, they will have access to all of the arena activations, including both The Cowboy Channel Bar and Cowboy Corral. Upgraded again in 2024, The Cowboy Channel Bar will feature a saloon, additional seating and a 2,500-square-foot, glass-enclosed balcony with Strip views. The Cowboy Channel will host their Pre-Show starting at 5 p.m. before each night’s performance. An additional highlight will be an all-encompassing exhibit detailing the 38-year history of the NFR in Las Vegas. The area will be a great place to take in the live broadcast of the rodeo each night as it will include a large-screen projection.

Meanwhile, on the arena’s southeast side, opposite The Cowboy Channel Bar, fans can enjoy all the activities and amenities of the returning Cowboy Corral, which takes over the adjacent Pavilion with live music, a huge bar and plenty of space to sit and relax or kick up your heels. The live entertainment will include pre and post-event performances by Old Hickory (Dec. 5-7), Josh Weathers (Dec. 8-11) and Justin Andrews (Dec. 12-14). Doors open at 4:30 pm and the live music starts at 4:45 pm.

Sitting right outside of Cowboy Corral is the Bull ‘N Barrel Saloon, featuring its own bar and food service and the Hall of Champions with tributes to former NFR champions.

Known as the richest and most prestigious rodeo in the world, the Wrangler NFR attracts the top 15 contestants in bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing and bull riding to compete for a share of the increased purse and the coveted PRCA Gold Buckle. In 2023, the event had a total attendance of 157,580 over the nine fully-attended rounds of competition in Las Vegas.
