By PBR
PBR Fans,
Given the guidelines the CDC and President Trump issued yesterday recommending limiting gatherings to 10 people or fewer, and in light of global health concerns regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus), PBR has cancelled the Unleash The Beast Glendale Invitational that was scheduled for March 21-22. We are also postponing indefinitely our plan to bring closed, made-for-TV events to Pueblo’s Colorado State Fairgrounds and will not have new broadcasts this weekend on Saturday, March 21 or Sunday, March 22 as previously announced.
The Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour event set to take place April 17 at Cal Poly's Alex G. Spanos Stadium in San Louis Obispo, CA has also been cancelled.
Fans who purchased tickets to any cancelled PBR event will receive a refund (less any applicable fees) from the original point of purchase. Those who purchased via PBR Direct will receive an email with refund details.
Additionally, the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour events scheduled for Wheeling, WV March at 20 – 21 at WesBanco Arena and Fresno, CA March 21 – 22 at Save Mart Center have been postponed. We encourage fans to hold onto your tickets, which will be honored for the rescheduled events once new dates are set.
We are eager to bring back the sport you love, but of course the health and safety of everyone involved in our events remains our top priority. We will continue to take guidance from the government, as well as the CDC and WHO, as the situation evolves. We will make additional announcements as more information becomes available.
We appreciate the support and understanding of all our fans, competitors, partners and staff. Please take care of yourself and your family, stay strong and be safe.
