Las Vegas Events and PrimeSport Launch Wrangler National Finals Rodeo's Official Online Ticket Exchange
Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS – February 18, 2011 – Las Vegas Events (LVE) and PrimeSport announced today the launch of the NFR Official Online Ticket Exchange. This new service will become the official marketplace to source and purchase tickets for every session of the rodeo.
As the culmination of the rodeo season, only the top 15 contestants in bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing and bull riding qualify to compete at the Wrangler NFR. Known as the richest and most prestigious rodeo in the world, the Wrangler NFR is scheduled for Dec. 1-10 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
The NFR Official Online Ticket Exchange can be accessed through the newly designed NFR website, found at www.NFRexperience.com.
“The popularity of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo is growing every year, and our priority remains to provide fans with the best experience possible,” said Pat Christenson, president of Las Vegas Events. “We have now sold out 240 consecutive performances of the NFR, so this partnership with PrimeSport was created to ensure that our fans have access to tickets through an official, authentic and secure marketplace. The NFR Official Online Ticket Exchange extends a legitimate service to rodeo fans, with partial proceeds that will go back to the Wrangler NFR.”
The NFR Official Online Ticket Exchange creates a secure marketplace for fans and season ticket holders to buy tickets to the session of their choice. Furthermore, if a ticket holder is unable to attend, they have the ability to post the tickets for sale on an official exchange site at a fair market price. Fans can feel safe while purchasing tickets as PrimeSport has a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee on all transactions. PrimeSport also currently manages the Official Fan2Fan Ticket Exchange for the NCAA Men’s Final Four® as well as for the Rose Bowl Game® on New Year’s Day.
“We are very pleased to announce this new partnership with Las Vegas Events and the National Finals Rodeo. With demand for tickets continuing to grow each year for this fantastic event, it is time to provide the fans with an official and secure marketplace to buy and sell tickets,” said Jason Parker, Executive Vice President of PrimeSport. “By partnering with the NFR, a ten-day event, we anticipate a large number of fans visiting the official exchange. Our goal is to provide rodeo fans with an easy and reliable, hassle-free experience.”
