Tickets & Admission
The pageant welcomes public attendance, but open to the public does not mean every event is free. The published schedule specifically identifies the Cowgirl Kickoff and Contestant Speeches as ticket-required events. Ticket selections are available through the organizer-linked South Point ticket portal.
Choose the performance or function you intend to attend rather than assuming one ticket covers the entire week.
