What affects the price
- Show size. Popular shows and rodeo weekends fill buses early, so book as soon as you know the date.
- Pickup spread. One shared address is cheapest; multiple home pickups add driving time.
- Dinner before the show. A reservation in the Cultural District or West 7th Street adds an hour at the front of the booking.
- Vehicle size. Moving from a 20- to a 40-passenger bus raises the hourly range by roughly half.

Arena logistics from the venue’s own guide
Ariat Arena, formerly Dickies Arena, is at 1911 Montgomery St. beside the Will Rogers Memorial Center complex. The arena’s directions page tells rideshare users to be dropped at the west entrance in the drop-off lane at Secretariat Drive and to be picked up on Harley Avenue at the north end of the building. Parking costs depend on the event. A chartered bus changes the plan: share the exact venue guidance with your driver before the event and agree one meeting spot, then keep your whole group on the same departure time.
The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo is traditionally held from mid-January through early February at the Will Rogers Memorial Center and the arena. Check fwssr.com for current dates, then request your bus as soon as the performance you want is announced.
