GREENVILLE, S.C. – For the sixth time in history, PBR’s (Professional Bull Riders) Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour will buck into Greenville, South Carolina, returning to the Bon Secours Wellness Arena for the fifth consecutive season on Jan. 31-Feb. 1, 2025, with PBR Greenville.  

For two nights only, some of the best bull riders in the world will battle the sport’s rankest bovine athletes in the ultimate showdown of man vs. beast in one of the most exciting and unpredictable live sporting events to witness.

Tickets for the two-day event go on sale Monday, Nov. 18 at 10 a.m. ET, and start at $15, taxes and fees not included. Tickets can be purchased online at BSWArena.com, ticketmaster.com and PBR.com, at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena Box Office or by calling PBR customer service at (800) 732-1727.

The Carolinas are home to some of PBR’s most passionate fans, many of whom were impacted by the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. To help our neighbors in need, PBR will make a $5 donation to the United Cajun Navy to support the ongoing hurricane recovery efforts, for every fan who purchase a full-priced ticket via this FEVO link. Fans will also have the option to add an additional donation at checkout. 

PBR’s return to Greenville comes on the spurs of one of the organization’s most dynamic individual seasons in 2024 as the Velocity Tour held 30 regular-season events across four months, including 12 weekends with two events held simultaneously. Welcoming more than 356,000 fans throughout the season, the Velocity Tour hosted 20 sold out event days, marking its most successful season in attendance since its inception in 2015.

The upcoming PBR Greenville will be the 10th event of the new individual season for the PBR’s expansion series. Eventgoers will watch on as riders vie for crucial points in the race to be crowned the 2025 PBR Velocity Tour Champion. 

When PBR’s Velocity Tour was last in Greenville in February 2024, Ezekiel Mitchell (Rockdale, Texas) delivered a perfect 3-for-3 performance to win the event inside the Bon Secours Wellness Arena.

Mitchell dominated Round 1, delivering the top score when he covered Bossed Up (Blake Sharp) for 87 points. The charismatic Texan then solidified his position atop the event leaderboard when he delivered the second-best score of Round 2, riding Walk It Out (Davis Rodeo Ranch) for 85 points. 

As the last man to leave the chutes for PBR Greenville, Mitchell then went head-to-head with Pocket Change (J Bar W). Reaching the requisite 8 with ease as the crowd erupted in raucous cheer, Mitchell was marked 84 points, clinching the event win. Mitchell left the Palmetto State having earned a crucial 144 Velocity Global points.

The bull riding action for PBR Greenville begins with Round 1 at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, Jan. 31, followed by Round 2 and the championship round at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, Feb. 1. All 35 competing bull riders will get on one bull each in Round 1 on Jan. 31 and Round 2 on Feb. 1. The riders’ individual two-round scores will be totaled with the Top 10 advancing to the championship round Saturday evening for one more out and a chance at the event title.
