RodeoHouston extends deadline to get refund for rodeo tickets

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — If you bought tickets to the rodeo and want your money back, you have until Friday, April 10 to get it done!

The original date to request a refund was April 3, but it was extended.

The city shut down the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo due to coronavirus concerns earlier this month. That left fans of the last 12 concerts holding tickets they didn’t get to use. Now, officials released options for those who purchased tickets ahead of time.

CARNIVAL TICKETS
Everyone who bought Half-Price Carnival Ticket Packs will have the option to roll their remaining tickets to be used at the 2021 Carnival or get a refund for unused ride and game tickets. Regardless if you choose rollover or refund, everyone must upload their ticket packs to the Rodeo Carnival App.

If you purchased full-price carnival tickets and want to request a refund, email info@rcsfun.com or call 602-935-4060. These are the tickets and packs bought on-site at the carnival.

The decision to roll-over or refund be made by Friday, April 10.

Ticket holders can request a refund or donate the cost of the tickets to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
