The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo tickets are available for purchase to the public on January 27. The way the tickets work at the Rodeo is there are certain tickets for each event. Prices for single general admission. ticket averages around $20-$50 depending on what events you are attending. Parking fees may vary between $10-$15. Many of the Rodeo events take place outside such as the carnival. If you are planning on attending the Rodeo make sure you dress nice and warm due to the cold weather being predicted.
