BEER TOKENS/ID CHECK
Do I have to buy tokens to buy beer?
Yes. Beer sales will be by token this year – tokens are available adjacent to the beer stands
in Sections A/B, D, F & G and in the Tack Room Saloon. The Ticket office will also have
tokens available for sale. All guests who look under 30 years old will be required to get their
ID’s verified and get a wrist band when purchasing tokens or entering the Tack Room. The main
stage tent will take tokens or credit cards for beer purchase and will be verifying ID’s also.
Do I have to show my ID to purchase alcohol?
All guests should be prepared to show their ID if a server asks, the policy for the rodeo is to
use the ID verification machines and check ID’s for those who look under 30 years of age when
purchasing tokens and/or when being served at the beer stands, Main Stage Tent or Tack Room
Saloon. After ID verification guests will receive a plastic band verifying them 21 and over that
can be left on the entire event and they will not need to stand in line to get the ID verified unless
they lose the wrist band. Even with a wrist band patrons may be asked to show their ID when
purchasing alcohol.
