Good morning, Tarrant County 4-H Families!
We hope you will be able to join us for an exciting event. The PBR (Pro Bull Riding) Team, “The Rattlers” will be hosting a 4-H Night on Saturday, September 28th at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth. In the attached flyer, you will find a QR code for a discounted ticket rate. With the purchase of an adult ticket at $22 you will be able to get a youth ticket & special youth t-shirt for free!
We believe there will also be a “Behind the Chutes” tour for 4-Her’s that will take place prior to the event – more details to come on that!
What better way to get ready for National 4-H Week than having some 4-H fun with the Rattlers! Please follow the step-by-step guide when purchasing your tickets (below).
Sincerely,
Miss Kate
Step by Step on how to get the free youth ticket with Adult ticket purchase:
Once you select the seat, you will be prompted to pick which ticket level (Standard or Child). Example: In the first screenshot below, I chose Row 6 / Seat 1 as Standard, then Row 6, Seat 2 as Child.
INSTEAD OF selecting the Standard & Child on the SAME SEAT (like below).
The Youth Shirt size shows up only if you have the CHILD ticket type in your cart. So adding 2 adult tickets to the cart, will not prompt a shirt size selection.
