Salem Stampede Championship Rodeo 2027 Ticket and Event Guide

The Salem Stampede Championship Rodeo returns to the Salem Civic Center from January 8 to January 10, 2027.

This annual tradition brings professional cowboys and cowgirls to the region to compete in high-stakes events sanctioned by the International Professional Rodeo Association.

Fans can expect a lineup of traditional rodeo disciplines, including bull riding, bronc busting, and barrel racing. The event, which is presented by Kroger, Berglund Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, and Davis Heating Cooling Plumbing and Electric, continues to serve as a major fixture for local spectators seeking high-energy competition.

One of the most anticipated additions to the 2027 schedule is the return of Boot Barn mutton busting. This specific event allows the first 10 registered cowpokes, aged 4 to 6 and weighing 50 pounds or less, to participate in riding sheep before each performance.

Tickets for the three-day series go on sale Friday, October 9, at 10:00 a.m. according to salemva.gov. While online purchases are available through Ticketmaster, buyers should note that additional fees apply to those digital transactions.

The rodeo features different pricing tiers depending on the day of the week and the specific performance time. For those looking to attend the opening night, Friday, January 8, features a single price point of $20 for all tickets, with the performance beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The weekend schedule and associated costs are structured as follows:

Date	Performance Time	Ticket Price Options
Friday, January 8	7:30 p.m.	$20
Saturday, January 9	7:30 p.m.	$22, $25, & $30
Sunday, January 10	2:00 p.m.	$22, $25, & $30

Attendees can also secure preferred parking for $10. In-person ticket sales are handled at the Salem Civic Center Box Office, which operates Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The return of these sanctioned IPRA events shows that the community continues to demand professional rodeo. As the rodeo season approaches, local organizers are focusing on the logistical requirements of hosting both professional athletes and youth participants in the mutton busting segments.
