Country‑music fans in Lubbock have a reason to dust off their cowboy boots. Riley Green will perform his Cowboy As It Gets Tour 2026 at United Supermarkets Arena on Saturday, September 12. The arena has released a concise “Know Before You Go” guide to help attendees enjoy a smooth evening.
Showtime and Entry
The concert begins promptly at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m. VIP ticket holders should follow the specific arrival instructions included with their packages. All other guests are encouraged to arrive early and consider carpooling, as traffic around the Texas Tech campus can become heavy when thousands converge at the same time.
Parking Details
Free parking is available in the commuter lots west of the arena, accessed via Indiana Avenue, Texas Tech Parkway, or Knoxville Avenue. ADA‑designated parking is located in the arena’s west R37 lot, also reachable from Indiana Avenue. An overflow ADA lot (C11) can be reached by traveling west on Main Street from Flint Avenue.
Bag and Security Policy
United Supermarkets Arena enforces a clear‑bag policy. Clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags may not exceed 12 inches × 6 inches × 12 inches. Small clutch bags are allowed if they are no larger than 4½ inches × 6½ inches. Regular purses and backpacks are prohibited, though medically necessary items are permitted after inspection. All guests and handbags will be screened before entry.
Professional‑style cameras, long lenses, and detachable lenses are not allowed. The venue is also gun‑free, meaning both open and concealed carry are prohibited. Tobacco use and vaping are likewise banned.
Food, Drink, and Merchandise
Concession stands inside the arena accept credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay; cash is not accepted. Outside food and beverages are not permitted. Riley Green merchandise will be sold on the southwest and southeast concourses, with both cash and card payment options available.
Attendees should note that haze effects will be used during the performance, which could affect those sensitive to such visual effects.
Tickets and Entry Options
Tickets remain on sale through Select‑a‑Seat of Lubbock/AXS, the arena’s sole authorized ticket source. The venue warns that tickets purchased from unauthorized resale sites may be counterfeit and that Select‑a‑Seat cannot refund or exchange such tickets.
Will‑call tickets can be collected at the Select‑a‑Seat box office inside the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center (1501 Mac Davis Lane) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday‑Friday. Remaining will‑call tickets will move to the arena box office beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Final Tips
Plan to arrive before 6:55 p.m. to avoid the last‑minute scramble for parking. Bring a clear bag that meets the size limits, leave large purses at home, and enjoy a night of country music with friends and family in a safe, gun‑free environment.
For those new to Lubbock, the concert also offers a chance to explore local dining options after the show—West Texas is famous for its BBQ, and many fans head to nearby eateries to cap off the evening.
