Hondo, Texas – The Hondo Rodeo Fest is extending a goodwill gesture to fans who purchased tickets for Friday’s show after country star Tim McGraw was unable to travel to Phoenix because of the Federal Aviation Administration’s nationwide ground stop. In a press release, the festival announced that anyone who holds a Friday ticket can claim a free ticket of equal value for Sunday’s rodeo at Chase Field.
How to Claim Your Complimentary Ticket
Ticket holders should visit thehondorodeofest.com/help to submit their request. Those who already entered their information on Friday night do not need to repeat the process. All requests must be submitted by 7 a.m. on Sunday, November 15, to be eligible for the free Sunday ticket.
Festival’s Reasoning
