HOUSTON – Are you ready to get your rodeo on?
The first wave of tickets for the 2026 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo go on sale Thursday.
Last Wednesday, we learned who will be performing in this year’s lineup.
Among those performing are Kelly Clarkson, Chris Stapleton, Parker McCollum, Tim McGraw, and much more.
Ticket sales on Thursday will come in two waves. The first wave opens at 10 a.m. and covers the March 2-11 performances.
The second wave will open at 2 p.m. and covers performances from March 12-21.
Here is more information on the ticket sales:

Customers in the Waiting Room will be randomly selected to enter the store to purchase tickets at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
