PBR Abbotsford

The PBR (Professional Bull Riders) will buck back into Abbotsford, British Columbia, for the second consecutive year on October 14 with its cross-Canada, nationally televised Monster Energy Tour event at the Abbotsford Centre.

The Monster Energy Tour features Canada’s elite, alongside riders from up to five other countries, squaring off against the rankest bucking bulls from both Canada and the United States. Fans will witness exhilarating 8-second rides and wrecks throughout the action-packed event as the PBR’s courageous cowboys face off against their 2,000-pound opponents.

The tour’s first-ever stop in Abbotsford last year was highlighted by an all-Canadian Top 5, led by event winner, and home province rider Ty Pozzobon. Top contenders for this year’s PBR Canada title Zane Lambert and Justin Lloyd tied for second at the event.

The bull riding action begins at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14. All bull riders will get on one bull each in Round 1. The Top 10 will then advance to the championship round for one more ride and a chance at the $20,000 available in prize money. In addition to competing for points towards the Canadian National Standings, riders will also have the opportunity to earn world points in an effort to earn a berth onto the elite Built Ford Tough Series.

Tickets are on sale and they range in price from $25 to $75 and can be purchased through PBRCanada.com or Ticketmaster.ca.

The Corral Party, which will be offered for the second year, is for avid bull riding fans who want a behind-the-scenes look at Canada’s premier bull riding circuit. This ticket add-on provides the VIP experience of a lifetime, including early entry; 60-minute backstage tour by a PBR Host, featuring a PBR 101 presentation and a visit with some of the sport’s fiercest bulls; and the opportunity for photos and autographs from top PBR stars. The PBR Canada Corral Party add-on is available for all Monster Energy Tour events and can be purchased in addition to any ticket for $25.
