Frequently Asked Questions.
I have a pass to your tent. Do still need to pay the "BAR-B-QUE CONTEST ADMISSION" ?
Yes, you still need to pay your entry to enter the NRG grounds. The Worlds Championship Bar-B-Que contest is a Houston Rodeo event and requires a ticket to get onto the grounds. Your wristband does not cover that fee. Xtreme Texas Cookers Team wristbands get you into our private tent ONLY.
BAR-B-QUE CONTEST ADMISSION
- Adult (13 & over): $30 | Child (3-12): $10 | Age two & under: Free
- Concerts at The Garden Stage, presented by Miller Lite
- Admission to Carnival (NOT valid for rides or games)
- Admission to Saloon & Chuckwagon
- Complimentary sliced brisket, beans and chips
Starting at 9 p.m. each night, the Bud Light Plaza Gate is cashless.
I have a pass to your tent but brought my kids to the carnival early. Are kids allowed in the tent?
Here are the details.
What are the age requirements for the tent?
Our tent operates as a 21+ environment beginning at 7:00 PM each day. Guests under the age of 21 are welcome earlier in the day but must exit the tent before 7:00 PM.
When does the tent open?
The gate generally opens at 3:00 PM, with occasional early openings at 1:00 PM depending on the day’s schedule.
Who is allowed to enter?
Donors and wristband holders attending Rodeo events are welcome to stop by during operating hours. Guests may be asked to present or obtain a wristband after 3:00 PM for entry or continued access.

Yes. Families, friends, and children are welcome to enjoy the tent’s food and beverage offerings during daytime hours. Staff will provide respectful reminders prior to the 7:00 PM transition to a 21+ environment.

After 7:00 PM, all guests must be 21 or older to remain inside the tent. Anyone under 21 will be kindly asked to exit at that time.
Where do i park?
The Houston Rodeo provides several parking options for guests. One of the most convenient is the 610 parking lot, commonly known as the old Astroworld lot, which offers one of the quickest walking routes to our tent.
