Where to Buy Official NFR 2025 Tickets
1. Official NFR Ticket Portal (tickets.NFRexperience.com)
The only official place to buy NFR 2025 general public tickets at face value is the NFR ticket site:
▶ Official ticket portal: tickets.NFRexperience.com
According to the NFR Ticket FAQs, you can buy general public tickets for the 2025 Wrangler NFR via this site and manage them through your MyNFRAccount. All sales are subject to availability after season ticket holders renew their seats, and ticket quantities are limited.
Steps to buy from the official portal:
- Go to tickets.NFRexperience.com.
- Create or log into your MyNFRAccount.
- Choose your ticket type (single performance, 4-day pack, 6-day pack or NFR Access ONLY).
- Select your preferred night(s) and seating level, then complete your purchase.
2. StubHub – Official Fan-to-Fan Marketplace
If your preferred night is sold out at face value, you can still buy verified resale tickets. The NFR Ticket FAQs name StubHub as the Official Fan-to-Fan Marketplace of the Wrangler NFR.
▶ Resale option: StubHub.com
StubHub typically offers:
- Single-night NFR tickets across many sections
- Instant digital delivery to your phone
- Buyer protection for invalid tickets
3. Other Verified Resale Sites & Travel Packages
Beyond StubHub, NFR tickets are also available on major ticketing sites like Ticketmaster, AXS, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats and specialist NFR resellers and tour operators.
Travel companies such as NFR Tours and other sports-travel agencies sell packages that bundle hotel + NFR tickets (usually balcony seats) plus round-trip transportation to the Thomas & Mack Center.
Tip: For the best protection, only use reputable brands (StubHub, Ticketmaster, AXS, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats or well-known NFR package providers) and avoid random listings on social media or street scalpers.

We’ll explain exactly what NFR Access ONLY includes in the next section.
Note: Prices and availability are subject to change. Always check the latest details at tickets.NFRexperience.com before buying.
On-Sale Dates: Mini Packages & NFR Access ONLY
The NFR Ticket FAQs outline how 2025 tickets roll out each year.
- Season ticket holders renew their strips first.
- After that, a limited number of Mini Packages and NFR Access ONLY tickets go on sale to the general public.
For 2025, the FAQ currently lists the following (subject to change):
- Mini Packages On-Sale: Thursday, August 21 at 12 p.m. PT (“High Noon”) – SOLD OUT in the sample text, but final 2025 status may differ.
- NFR Access ONLY On-Sale: Thursday, August 28 at 12 p.m. PT.
Mini packages are bundles and cannot be broken into individual nights. They typically include:
- Either the first 4 performances or the last 6 performances
Exact on-sale dates can shift slightly from year to year, so always double-check the current information on the official Ticket FAQs page and NFR news section before planning your purchase.
What Is NFR Access ONLY (and Is It Worth It)?
NFR Access ONLY is a special ticket category created for fans who want to be inside the Thomas & Mack Center during the NFR but don’t need a reserved seat.
According to the NFR Ticket FAQs, the NFR Access ONLY ticket:
- Provides entry to Thomas & Mack Center but no seat.
- Includes access to all concourse experiences:
- Cowboy Corral with live music nightly
- The Cowboy Channel Bar
- Bull ‘N Barrel Saloon
- ProRodeo Zone and other designated fan areas
- Lets you watch the rodeo on TV screens placed in these areas.
- Is non-refundable.
This ticket is perfect if:
- Full seats are sold out or out of your price range.
- You like moving around, socializing and enjoying the concourse party vibe.
- You want to say you experienced NFR inside Thomas & Mack Center, even without a seat.
MyNFRAccount, Digital Tickets & Souvenir Tickets
The Wrangler NFR uses a hybrid ticket system with both digital tickets and printed souvenir “hard” tickets.
Digital Tickets via MyNFRAccount
MyNFRAccount is the online hub where you can:
- Buy and renew NFR tickets
- View and add tickets to your mobile device
- Transfer tickets to friends and family
- Access tickets directly through the NFR Experience App
To use digital tickets, log in at tickets.NFRexperience.com or through the official NFR Experience app, then add your tickets to your smartphone wallet. Screenshots or printed copies of mobile tickets are not accepted at the door.
Printed Souvenir Tickets
Season ticket holders can still choose printed souvenir tickets, which are typically mailed in early October. However, fans who select printed tickets may not have full access to MyNFRAccount features for that set of tickets.
Souvenir tickets are meant for keepsakes. If you also use digital tickets for entry, you are advised to keep or destroy the printed versions and never resell both versions of the same seat, as that can result in loss of season ticket privileges.
NFR 2025 Parking, Shuttles & Getting to Your Seat
Parking at Thomas & Mack Center
Parking at the Thomas & Mack Center during NFR is limited and costs around $30 per vehicle per performance when purchased through official channels, with some sites listing advance parking passes at about $25–$30 plus fees.
Resale markets sometimes offer parking passes at a premium, especially close to the event dates.
NFR Express Shuttle Bus Service
Instead of driving, many fans use the free NFR Express shuttle from official host hotels on the Strip and downtown. The shuttle schedule typically runs from late afternoon until after the performance each night, with the last buses leaving Thomas & Mack around 9:45 p.m. during NFR 2025.
You can find a full list of shuttle routes and times on the NFR Express page of NFRexperience.com or via your hotel’s NFR information page.
Security & Entry Policies
Before heading through the gates, note the Know Before You Go policies:
- Doors generally open around 4:00 p.m. for Cowboy Corral/Cowboy Channel Bar entrances and 4:15 p.m. at the main entrance.
- There is a clear bag policy and walk-through metal detectors at all entrances.
- Non-approved bags may be stored for a fee at designated bag-check locations.
Tips for Getting the Best NFR 2025 Ticket Deals
- Buy face value first: Start with tickets.NFRexperience.com and MyNFRAccount for the best pricing.
- Consider weekday performances: Sunday–Wednesday tickets are often easier and cheaper to find than prime Friday and Saturday nights.
- Use official resale: If face value is sold out, move to StubHub (official marketplace), then trusted sites like Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, AXS or Vivid Seats.
- Beware of scams: Avoid random social media sellers and street scalpers; fake or duplicated tickets are a known problem.
- Travel packages: If you need hotel + tickets, compare NFR travel package prices against booking separately; sometimes the convenience is worth the premium.
