Hi! Thanks for your question. If you prefer to get a seated ticket rather than a standing ticket without booking in advance, I’d recommend going to the ticket office near GMC Stadium close to its opening time on the day that you want to do the rodeo so around 11am. At the rodeo, if you get a standing ticket and watch from the ground floor standing area it’s pretty easy to meet other people. I’ve only met a handful of solo travelers though so I’d say it’s easier to meet travellers who are in groups rather than alone.
