Amazing venue! I have been a spectator and have ridden in this venue. Heaps of seating, lots of food choices. Stables set up well. Huge warm up areas. Would love a few more trees for shade if camping in summer!!
Purchased our tickets online, for 2 nights at the Rodeo, with never being here before.
Heaps of easy parking and you enter the Centre at street level. Bag check before showing the ticket, and easy entering through set doors to your seating.
This is a huge, closed-in arena that seats approx 4,000 people. Numbered sections with alphabetical rows of plastic seats, with A being closest to arena & H at top. Lots of stairs and good number of amenities and food/beverage choices.
Food/beverage is not cheap.
This Centre is fabulous as it's a purpose built showcase.
Be aware that if you buy seat tickets near the competitor entry/exits, people stand/ sit on the steps, which affects your view of seeing the competitors/animals preparing to enter the arena and makes it difficult to walk up/down the steps.
If alcohol is served at the function, then 90% of the doors are shut, which stops good air flow on a hot day/night, so take a fan.
Thoroughly enjoyed our first time at this Centre, would highly recommend and can't wait to return.
Thank you Tamworth AELEC.
Went here for the PBR to watch the bull riders, very clean and new stylish building, plenty of room, seats were working, staff were friendly. Plenty of security for the just incase circumstances.
Great place to see.
Recommended visit.
Dress warm.
You need to ask a local how the competition works.
Food is pricey. 2 coffees & 2 sausage rolls = $23.50
Great to watch these amazing horses.
Something totally new for me to watch the horse cutting. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Rodeo is not my thing, but something ticked off the list. Staff were friendly, toilets were clean, drinks were reasonably priced and no long line up.
Amazing skill and horsemanship. Venue is HOT and stuffy in the warmer weather, but the show was worth the discomfort.
Great venue for the Xtreme bulls finals I recommend it for any rodeo fan
Great place to watch the rodeo. Public transport is accessible and makes getting to and from the venue relatively easy. Food and drinks are affordable as well.
Absolutely Beautiful Venue Location
