RODEOHOUSTON confirms the 2027 lineup and on-sale dates in January. We update this page the day they announce.

How the January on-sale works

RODEOHOUSTON has run the single-night sale the same way for several years. Here is how it went in January 2026, the best guide to January 2027:

• One official seller. Tickets are sold through AXS at rodeohouston.com, and every ticket is delivered by AXS Mobile ID to your Rodeo Ticket Account and the RODEOHOUSTON app.
• Two waves by date. The first half of the run went on sale at 10 a.m. and the second half at 2 p.m.
• A waiting room, not a race. An online waiting room opened 30 minutes before each wave, and everyone who arrived before the start was placed in line in random order.
• Limits and prices. The limit was 10 tickets per entertainer, and standard upper-level seats started at $35 including fees.
• Delivery. RODEOHOUSTON asks buyers to allow 48 hours for tickets to arrive.

Headliner nights sell through in minutes. When they do, the next stop for most buyers is resale, which opens the same hour.

Plan B for the night you can’t miss: StubHub already has a page for every 2027 performance, and season ticket holders start listing the nights they won’t use the day the lineup comes out. For a headliner, resale usually costs more than face, so try the waiting room first and keep StubHub as the backup. We may earn a commission when you buy through that link, at no extra cost to you.

Before the sale: five things to do

1. Create or check your AXS Rodeo Ticket Account now, and make sure the email and card on it are current.
2. When the lineup drops, pick two or three target nights and note which wave each one falls in.
3. Pick a backup night. Weeknights and non-headliner dates are where the waiting room is kindest.
4. Be in the waiting room before your wave opens; arriving early puts you in the random draw.
5. If you miss out, buy resale only as an AXS Mobile ID transfer into your own account; a screenshot or PDF will not scan at the gate.

Season ticket holders: the January sale is your selling window

A 2027 season ticket covers all 20 performances, and almost nobody uses all 20. The lineup reveal is when holders decide which nights to keep, and the week single-night tickets sell out is when buyers who missed the waiting room turn to resale. That first wave is the first big rush of resale buyers, and headliner nights keep climbing from there into the Bar-B-Que Contest.

• List the nights you will skip as soon as you know them. Headliner nights price themselves; weeknights need a realistic number and time on the market.
• You keep your seats and your renewal. We sell only the nights you send us.
• How it works with us: you transfer the nights you want sold to our account through AXS, we price every night by hand, list it across every major marketplace at once and handle the buyer, and you get paid every Friday. Our 20% commission comes out only when a night sells, and a season ticket holder’s first sale with us is commission-free.
