Orlando Rocking Rodeo!

This event had potential to be fabulous. Too bad it was an unorganized flop. Little Texas was the reason we even bought tickets. We thought it was a bonus that a bbq was included. A few pieces of tough meat on a stick was not our idea of a bbq though. Prices for drinks were outrageous and to top it off, they didn't have any diet drink which I needed due to being diabetic and because I purchased a soda ticket, they wouldn't let me sub with water once I waited through the huge line to find they had no diet soda. I would never spend that much money on a ticket had I known how blah the rodeo itself was going to be and how poorly the event was managed. They couldn't control the cold weather of course but the event would have been maybe more enjoyable if we hadn't felt quite as frozen.

Gate was opened 10 minutes late, people with vouchers were told to go to the Citris Bowl ticket window to get tickets, should have been posted on website... Free BBQ had a long line that last beyond the time limit to get free food, should have been present ticket get food all night long, not change to charge for it after 800 pm. No wind blocks at bleachers to block 40 degree winds, Never got to see Little Texas, weather was too cold to sit and wait, left early.

Stage was behind the cow stalls.....barbeque was cold......everything interpreted into Spanish........there were about 10 people there.......cold cold cold............nearly every rider dropped right in front of the gate.

I have been to quite a few rodeos in my time, but this one just seemed second rate. They promised barbeque, well what you got was meat on a skewer with no sides. And if you don't drink you can buy mini cokes or water for 3.00 each. The meat was so tough that it wasn't fit to eat. I would rather them have lowered the price and let us buy our own food, that was actually fit to eat. In all fairness this was their first year putting this on, but I will definitely never go back. The bullriding was just ok. Not a very memorable night.

It was not what I expected. I'm so mad I spent so much money on it. I would never go again.

Rained. Tickets said Rain or Shine so went anyway. Gloriana cancelled at 10:30pm. Underwhelming
