What You Need to Know Before You Buy

The Kuna Stampede Rodeo returns September 3–5, 2026, at the Crooked 8 Event Center in Kuna, Idaho — and this year brings some exciting changes.


For the first time, the Kuna Stampede will feature three nights of rodeo, along with new ticketed seating areas designed to give guests more choices in how they experience the action.


If you’re getting ready to purchase tickets, here are answers to some of the most common questions about 2026 Kuna Stampede tickets.


What ticket options are available for the 2026 Kuna Stampede?


Guests can choose from four ticket areas:

• Bleacher Seating• Premier Arena-Side Seating• VIP Seating• Standing Garden

Each area has a limited number of tickets available for each night of the rodeo.


Are seats reserved?

Tickets are designated by section, but individual seats are not assigned.

Your ticket guarantees access to the section you purchased. Seating within that section is first come, first served.

Because the number of guests allowed in each section is limited, some ticket types may sell out before others.


What is Premier Arena-Side Seating?

Premier Arena-Side Seating puts you closer to the rodeo action in a designated arena-side area with tables and chairs.

Space in Premier Arena-Side is limited each night, so purchasing tickets early is recommended if this is where you want to experience the Kuna Stampede.


What is VIP Seating?

VIP is a premium ticket option that provides access to the designated VIP area.

VIP capacity is limited for each night of the rodeo.


What is the Standing Garden?

The Standing Garden is a designated standing-room area for guests looking for a more casual way to enjoy the Kuna Stampede.

There are no assigned seats in the Standing Garden.


Do children age 5 and under need a ticket?

It depends on the section.

Children age 5 and under are FREE and do not need a ticket for:

• Bleacher Seating• Standing Garden

Children age 5 and under DO need their own paid ticket for:

• Premier Arena-Side Seating• VIP Seating

Because Premier and VIP have limited capacity and designated space for each guest, everyone entering those sections must have a ticket.


Do I need to choose a specific night when purchasing tickets?

Yes. Kuna Stampede tickets are sold by night.

Thursday, September 3 – Family NightA night for the whole family, with fundraising benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Kuna.

Friday, September 4 – Patriot NightA night honoring our military and first responders, with fundraising benefiting the L Company 75th Ranger Foundation.

Saturday, September 5 – Home Town NightA celebration of our community, with fundraising benefiting District 2 High School Rodeo.


Be sure to select the correct night when purchasing your tickets!


Can I use my ticket to enter a different seating section?

No. Your ticket provides admission to the specific section you purchased.

Capacity is controlled within each ticketed area, so a ticket for one section does not provide access to another section.


Should I buy Kuna Stampede tickets in advance? - Yes!

With three nights of rodeo for the first time and limited capacity within each ticket section, purchasing early gives you the best selection of nights and seating options.

Once a section reaches capacity, additional tickets for that section may not be available.


The Kuna Stampede is proud to recognize IBEW Local 291 as a 2026 title sponsor and thank them for their continued support of the Kuna Stampede and our community.


Parking information for the 2026 Kuna Stampede will be announced separately as those details are finalized. Watch the Kuna Stampede website and social media pages for updates.
