Calgary – Four days left to take in Stampede 101
Close to 125,000 guests experienced day six of Stampede 101 under a blue Alberta sky. With only four more days to experience Stampede 101, Calgarians and out of town guests are encouraged to plan their visit as things are looking hot on all fronts.
The popular Rodeo and Evening Show events are experiencing their second best sales year in the last decade. "We have had two virtual reserved ticket sell-outs already," explains Jason Coxford, Ticket Sales Manager. "We anticipate that Thursday to Sunday will be very close to capacity."
The weather forecast looks great through the reminder of Stampede. Stampede guests can look forward to four days of sunny and warm Stampede experiences. Even hotter than the weather forecast are guest satisfaction levels. "Exit surveys conducted with guests are showing 82 percent of guests are having their expectations exceeded - well above 2012 levels," says Karen Connellan, director, Programming.
Standing room & day reserved tickets go on-sale each day at 11am for Rodeo and Evening Show performances.
