After nearly two years of inactivity due to the pandemic, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo made a triumphant, Texas-sized return this year to toast its 90th anniversary. RodeoHouston’s epic comeback saw a history-making hip-hop takeover — including SLABs on the rodeo floor — by our local legend Bub B, inspired shows by Gwen Stefani and Journey, and a fitting close by the King of Country.

While RodeoHouston 2022 will be hard to top, fans can now prepare for the next year’s iteration, as a limited number of 2023 season tickets go on sale at 10 am Tuesday, August 9. Season tickets will be available online and start at $500, with an eight-ticket purchase limit per household, according to a rodeo press release.

As CultureMap reported in April, next year’s rodeo runs February 28–March 19. These 2023 season tickets for sale include all 20 RodeoHouston performances. For those more interested in Individual tickets, those will go on sale once the 2023 star entertainer lineup is announced at a later date, per the rodeo.

For those purchasing season tickets on August 9, the rodeo advises that an online waiting room opens at 9:30 am; customers who join the waiting room from 9:30 am to 9:59 am will then be randomly selected to enter the store to purchase season tickets right at 10 am, according to the rodeo.

Importantly, per the rodeo, access to the online early waiting room does not put customers in a first-come, first-served line. Additionally, access to this waiting room does not guarantee season tickets.

All season tickets sold will be delivered electronically via AXS Mobile ID; those who purchase online should allow 48 hours for delivery. Customers can access their purchased tickets by downloading the AXS mobile app and logging in with the email they used to purchase tickets.

Here’s a quick breakdown of packages and options, per the rodeo. Buyers are advised to use this NRG Stadium seat map.

Ye, aka Kanye West, will bring his Ye Live Concert Tour to Reliant Stadium in Houston on October 31.

Rapper Kanye West, who goes by "Ye," will extend his current Ye Live Concert Tour to include several new stops in the U.S., including one at Reliant Stadium in Houston on Saturday, October 31.

West, who previously performed in San Antonio on July 4, also added concerts in Arlington on November 7 and Phoenix on November 21. The new dates were announced on his website September 1.

The tour features West performing atop a spherical stage with visuals of the Earth and moon projected onto it.

The ever-controversial artist is touring in support of his new album, Bully, which was released this past March.

It is the 12th album of his career dating back to his debut, The College Dropout, in 2004. Eleven of his 12 albums have charted on both the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop and overall 200 charts, finishing at No. 1 or No. 2 every time.

West has so far made 11 stops on the international tour since January, visiting nine different countries, including lesser-traveled spots like Georgia, Albania, and Kazakhstan.

Concerts in Chicago (September 3-4) and Jakarta, Indonesia (October 24) will precede the new tour dates. Two planned concerts in Saint Petersburg, Russia were canceled after the venue there says it never signed an agreement to host the dates.

Fans can sign up to pre-register for tickets for the new dates at tour.yeezy.com, with the site saying that "a few lucky pre-registrants will be selected to receive free tickets."

Information on the Reliant Park website says that presale tickets for the Houston concert will be available on Tuesday, September 8 at 10 am. Sales to the general public will begin on Thursday, September 10 at 10 am.
