ANIMALS

All non-rodeo animals are prohibited from Tucson Rodeo grounds with the exception of certified service animals.

​

TICKET, SEATING & STROLLER POLICIES

Anyone occupying a seat at the rodeo must have a ticket. Child car seats occupying a seat must have a ticket. Children, under the age of two (2), may enter at no cost provided they sit on an adult lap. All other children must have a ticket.

Seat cushions are permitted but must not exceed 18 inches wide and contain no pockets, zippers or concealable areas.

Strollers are permitted onto the grounds but must be left at the entry to the seating area. No strollers are permitted in the stands.

 

PHOTOGRAPHY

Tucson Rodeo will allow photography and digital image capture of the rodeo for private and personal use, as long as this activity does not interfere with the ability of other spectators to view the rodeo and the photographer does not occupy seats he or she has not purchased. Camera bags (unless clear), camera tripods, monopods, or single purpose video cameras are not permitted (see prohibited bags and items above)*.

Any commercial use or distribution without the express written consent of Tucson Rodeo and/or the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) is strictly prohibited. You may use photographs or digital images obtained from the Tucson Rodeo solely for private or personal, non-commercial purposes only. Any other use, including for any commercial, issue advocacy or fundraising purposes, is strictly prohibited without our express prior written consent. Systematic retrieval of images from the rodeo, whether to create or compile, directly or indirectly, a collection or compilation is prohibited absent our express prior written consent.

Our goal has been and continues to be to prevent the unauthorized use of Tucson Rodeo imagery for commercial use, profit generation or the promotion of organizations and agendas unrelated to the Tucson Rodeo. As a result, photography for personal use is welcomed.
