Houston Rodeo Ticket sales

First held in 1931 as the Houston Fat Stock Show and Livestock Exposition, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, or Houston Rodeo has been the signature event for its host city for over 80 years now. Held over 20 days at Reliant Stadium, the Houston Rodeo features a diverse program of entertainment including musical acts, livestock auctions, pig racing, the World Championship Bar-B-Que Contest, and of course, championship rodeo competition. Last year’s event saw a record attendance of 2,506,238 people, requiring over 28,000 volunteers to organize. They say everything is bigger in Texas, and when it comes to Houston, the country’s fourth most populous city, this three week rodeo festival is no exception. While many of the acts are country, this year’s slate of artists features Usher, Selena Gomez, REO Speedwagon, Maroon 5, and Robin Thicke to diversify things up and provide a little bit of something for everyone. Despite all the hype and anticipation Houston Rodeo tickets demand is slightly lower this year, according to local Houston broker, MyTicketIn.  Last year’s rodeo included appearances by Mary J Blige, Demi Lovato, Styx, Pitbull, and BrunoMars , whose positive reviews and massive attendance contributed to him being selected to perform at the Super Bowl.

In fact, with an average price of $156, Bruno Mars was the second most expensive Houston Rodeo tickets last year behind George Strait, Martina McBride, and The Randy Rogers Band triple performance that closed out the festivities. This year, it’s more of the same as Maroon 5 and Usher, two distinctively non-country acts, check in as the two most expensive shows with average ticket prices of $183 and $151, respectively. With nobody like George Strait on this year’s slate, the highest priced country music act of the 2014 Houston Rodeo is Blake Shelton at an average price of $156. Tickets for other country music acts like Jason Aldean tickets,Keith Urban, Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan tickets all have average price exceeding the $100 mark. “Regardless of who plays, this is the biggest cultural event in Houston every year,” Said Malcom Robinnson, CEO of MyTicketIn.  This year, the combination of Usher, Maroon 5 and Blake Shelton, all judges on NBC’s the Voice, has been a big boon for demand, according to Robinson.

While this is Usher’s first Rodeo, it is Shelton’s second-consecutive year preforming and he is the most expensive country act scheduled, and $10 more expensive than last years performance.  Right up there with him in that second tier of ticket prices for both years are some of the most popular names in country right now, including Luke Bryan, Zac Brown Band, both of whom price even higher this year than last. Tim McGraw was another high priced act at last year’s Houston Rodeo, checking in as the 7th most expensive act at an average price of $104. This year, rather than performing at the Houston Rodeo, he chose to play at the San Antonio Rodeo which came to an end about two weeks ago.

Held at the AT&T Center from February 6 to 22, the annual San Antonio Rodeo sends the San Antonio Spurs on a lengthy road trip around the All-Star break to make room for a multiday event similar to the Houston Rodeo. While the San Antonio Rodeo does not have nearly the same scale as the Houston Rodeo, production of the event typically requires over 4,000 volunteers, and attendance reaches well over one million people. Because the San Antonio Rodeo takes place at a substantially smaller venue than the Houston Rodeo, ticket prices are more limited in quantity and reached slightly higher price points this year. Tim McGraw’s February 8 evening show was the 2nd highest priced event at an average of $206, and was the single most expensive to get into with the cheapest tickets selling for $83. The most expensive act of this year’s San Antonio Rodeo was none other than Pitbull, at an average price of $209. Perhaps his heavily country influenced chart topper “Timber” might have something to do with that.

UBER SMACKED DOWN BY HOUSTON CITY COUNCIL

Dateline Houston 02/25/2014……In a stunning blow to the illegal operators UBER and Lyft, Houston City Council members unanimously blasted these companies for jumping the gun and trying to launch operations in time for the Rodeo before being authorized by the City of Houston.

This was a humiliating WWE body slam and total defeat for the upstarts as angry and outraged Councilmembers, one after another, told UBER and Lyft what they thought of them and essentially handed them their head on a plate.

These are some new rules placed on them IF THEY WANT TO APPLY for the new category of APP-Based Transportation Companies. It is believed that Houston is the only city with such stringent rules for UBER, UBERx and Lyft and similar rogue operations:

1) All drivers must pass a physical exam, be drug tested and fingerprinted and submit to full FBI Background Check.

2) All vehicles used for transportation of passengers must have submitted a rendition to Harris County Appraisal District for Ad Valorem Property Taxes on the vehicle which must be paid every year. (State Law)

3) All transportation companies must submit an annual report of all trips, the destinations and revenues for City Planning purposes.

4) UBER and Lyft must have a physical office in Houston and a phone number answered by a live person fluent in the English Language to answer the phone during normal business hours and take customer complaints.

5) All drivers must have either a Limo or Taxi driver license or a license designated to the new category.

6) Security cameras will be required in all cars.

7) The requirement for four vehicles needed to start a limo company and the 30 minute delay in getting a limo and the six year age limit of vehicles were left intact.

8) All UBER, UBERx and Lyft vehicles must have one million commercial vehicle insurance, paying first dollar in addition to uninsured/underinsured drivers . This insurance must be 24/7/365 or at the very least WHENEVER THE APP IS LIVE AND THE DRIVER IS TROLLING FOR RUNS.

These are the most stringent rules placed on UBER and Lyft anywhere in the USA. It is hoped that other cities will copy these rules that were wisely established by the Administration and Regulatory Affairs (ARA) Department of the City of Houston and submitted to Council.

OTHER MAJOR CITIES BLOCKING UBER AND LYFT: Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Las Vegas, Portland and New Orleans.

MORE EGG ON THE FACE FOR UBER AND LYFT. UBER had sent out hundreds of e mails to Limo drivers encouraging them to show up, speak up and voice support. NOT EVEN ONE showed up for either company.

UBER did claim to have a petition with 9,000 signatures (Out of 4 million people?). UBER’s phishing, hacking and spamming is well-documented, however, and many of the “Statements of Support” all had the same wording. Others said, “Okay, here’s my tweet, where is my coupon for a free ride”?

IN A VULGAR DISPLAY OF COMPLETE CHUTZPAH AND ASININE AUDACITY, UBER, in front of TV news cameras for the same report I was on said “We are legal in all areas we operate in”. Notorious lawbreaker UBER has more Cease and Desist Letters and Temporary Restraining Orders against them than there are grains of sand on the beach in Galveston.

On their website, they brag about how they choose cities from those they perceive have little or no enforcement of transportation laws.

http://blog.uber.com/2013/04/12/uber-policy-white-paper-1-0/

UBER AND LYFT INSURANCE SCAM: If you are a Houston Limo or Taxi operator, your commercial policy must be on file with the City and anyone who wants a copy can easily get one through the Freedom of Information Act, Public Records.

DESPITE REPEATED REQUESTS, neither UBER nor the Houston ARA have permitted us to see the policy they “Claim” is first dollar commercial. This is hogwash. A surplus line cannot pay over a personal auto policy. Otherwise, why would anyone, including eighteen wheel truckers, bother to buy commercial insurance?

We had Mary Vaught and Beau Budde, two of the largest Limo Insurance brokers in Houston, testify to these facts before the two committees (Transportation and Public Safety) today.

MORE COUNCIL OUTRAGE: ARA Chief Tina Paez said that five new supervisor-level city employees would need to be hired to oversee UBER and Lyft if they were approved. Houston has a hiring freeze on Policemen and Firemen and ambulance shifts are being canceled to avoid huge overtime bills and dangerous sleep deprivation of existing Firemen.

So here you have a situation of rogue operators notorious for illegal operations needing five “Babysitters” at a cost of $495,000 per year while the public safety of the people of Houston is cast to the wind with the emergency personnel shortage. It should also be noted that UBER and Lyft will contribute little or nothing to the City Treasury. (Ad Valorem property taxes go to the County).

MORE COUNCIL OUTRAGE (2). The ARA commissioned a transportation study by Professor Ray Mundy at a cost of $50,000. At the end of the report was a long list of recommendations for the City of Houston.The ARA, for reasons known only to themselves, chose not to recommend ANY OF THEM for action to Council.

When asked how this incongruent conundrum could exist, ARA Chief Tina Paez and her consiglieri Chris Newport got a “Deer in the Headlights” look while they fumbled for words.

The Council wisely tabled all action for a month until Dr. Mundy could be summoned to Houston to explain all the inconsistencies in person before a full council and the Mayor.

UBER AND LYFT’s “FREE” RIDES? Looking to pull a fast one on City Council, both UBER and Lyft started running “Free” runs to try to jump the gun and get in on the very lucrative Rodeo starting next week.

Here’s the deal: If you transport the public for compensation for hire, you need either a taxi or Limo company permit and the driver needs to have the respective city driver license (Over and above a State of Texas Driver’s License) (Out of State Drivers Licenses are also illegal) (City of Houston Chapter 46 Limousine and Taxi Ordinance)

“SOMEBODY” is paying for those “FREE” rides. The drivers are not stupid and they are not charities providing free runs for work-averse alcoholic millenials. If money is changing hands from UBER and Lyft corporate to the drivers, what do you have? UNLICENSED COMMERCIAL PASSENGER LIVERY SERVICE.

Why ARA is unable to see this for what it is only adds to the further questions of ability to perform due diligence and function in its mandated capacity by the ARA.

TAXI/LIMO SOLIDARITY. The night before the hearing, the Taxi and Limousine companies held a joint meeting for the first time in history at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Hwy 290. Also present were company owners of Charter Sightseeing and Jitney Companies. Four industries, all united in vehement opposition to allowing UBER or Lyft and their illegal platforms invade our city. (UBER had two 20-something spies in the audience and they were outed)

In-depth discussions were held and topics and speakers for the following morning meeting with Council were carefully prepared. At the Council hearing, over 150 Yellow Cab drivers wearing yellow tee shirts and 30 Limousine company owners in suits filled the gallery. When a statement was made that resonated with us, we all stood in unison and faced Council to showcase our presence.

Several cab drivers spoke and said how they appreciated the opportunity to be able to have worked for Yellow Cab for twenty years or longer and how they supported their families and paid the mortgage on their homes with their income. They said that if UBER and Lyft came into Houston and got into a price war, as has happened in Boston and elsewhere, their livelihood would be destroyed and they would become tax burdens instead of taxpayers.

HEARTFELT APPEARANCE BY A HANDICAPPED PERSON. A petite lady in an electric wheelchair came up to the front of the chamber to speak. The microphone was lowered for her. She addressed Council, “I am disabled and on public assistance. I am paralyzed and have little mobility. I depend on Yellow Cabs with wheelchair access to take me to my doctor’s appointments at the same fare as a regular cab. Sometimes I stop by a store on the way home and the driver goes in and gets me a few things and helps me into my home. If UBER and Lyft get into a price war and Yellow Cab is put out of business, I will be unable to live in the home I have had for decades and likely need to be in a nursing home at the expense of Houston taxpayers. My words for UBER and Lyft are:

PLAY BY ALL THE RULES OR DON’T PLAY AT ALL. (This elicited a standing ovation from people with tears in their eyes) (You go girl)

UBER and Lyft do not have a single wheelchair accessible vehicle anywhere in the world. Houston Limo and Charter sightseeing companies who have more than ten buses are required by Federal USDOT law to have 10% of our fleets ADA compliant. Why should UBER get a free ride in this area? Our House, Our Rules.

NIGHTMARE AT HOUSTON’S AIRPORTS. In the audience was Richard Godeke, Director of Ground Transportation for Houston’s Bush Airport (IAH). UBER and Lyft are highly unethical, greedy and incorrigible reprobates in the marketing of their “Services”. They callously over-saturate an area with their drivers and cars and engage in a race to the bottom price war everywhere they go.

The end result is hundreds or thousands of cars circling and trolling for passengers. Some drivers have all three iphones on their dash and immediately garb the first one that pings. Some UBER/LYft drivers work 24-36 continuous hours without sleep and then pass the car off to a relative who may or may not have a commercial drivers license.

The other end result is very heavy traffic congestion and air pollution. (Limousines are not dispatched until they have a confirmed pre-arranged fare. Taxis remain parked somewhere in a taxi line).

Mr. Godeke said that 100’s of extra cars circling and trolling the already congested airport terminals was absolutely out of the question. He said that an EZ Tag transponder system would again be needed to be implemented and ALL COMMERCIAL vehicles would need one and in view of the prohibitive cost, each time a vehicle came on airport property, a fee of $8-15 would be in the realm of possibility to recoup the cost of the transponders, receivers and book keeping and billing systems.

It should be noted that compulsive lawbreakers UBER and Lyft devised a scam in Los Angeles to stage by the Iberia Air terminal. Inspectors eventually got suspicious as to why twenty vehicles would be at Iberia when there was no flight for another six hours. Drivers were arrested and cars were towed for a minimum impound period of 30 days. Lyft now advises their drivers to avoid LAX. Lyft made no effort to reimburse their drivers for fines or towing. (“Hey, we’re just an APP on an iphone”)

DUPLICITOUS TREACHERY BY THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE

In Chronicle coverage of Mayor Parker’s Inaugural Speech, the Chronicle said, “One of Mayor Parker’s major goals for 2014 is a complete re-write of the Taxi and Limousine Ordinance”. People who were present in the audience said the subject was not mentioned.

The Chronicle went on to publish a totally libelous bogus article on the Mundy report. (See below) Dr. Mundy insisted that a retraction be printed and they flipped him off.

This would at first seem strange unless you peel a few more layers of the onion off and you start to get the really powerful smell. The Chronicle is owned by the Hearst Corporation which is headquartered where? San Francisco, the scumbag capital of the world and near the same den of thieves – UBER, where else.

City Council should issue a subpoena deuces techum to the Editor of the Chronicle and inquire of him why his paper is such a lying piece of trash trying to influence legislation before Council that would affect all Houstonians.

Check this out:

To Houston Chronicle and City Council/Mayor:

This letter is in response to your reporting of February 1 article, “Houston drives idea for taxi app”, and your editorial yesterday entitled, “Deregulate Taxis”. These reports are simply false and incorrectly cite our recently completed study of the Houston Taxi System on several important issues. Your statement; “City staff, based on the report, recommended elimination of a $70 base fare on all private trips and a requirement that trips must be arranged 30 minutes prior to departure”, is just plainly false and gives the impression that the report recommended this – it certainly did not! In fact, the report, in appendix D, discusses the very negative aspects of eliminating limousine/sedan minimum rates.
Additional false information in these articles was the indication that Uber service would be more responsive than current Houston taxi services. Houston currently has very responsive taxi service – over 50% of calls to the dispatched taxi companies go serviced within 9 minutes. And, over 90% of calls throughout the 640 square miles of the City of Houston are provided taxi service within 30 minutes. As the report states in its first paragraph, this is among the better taxi service levels in North America. The report is not an indictment of Houston’s taxi and limousine service – far from it! The report lays forth a strategy for improving your taxi services – the exact opposite of deregulation.
During the performance of this study, consistent advice was provided to City officials that the experience of other cities with elimination of minimum limousine fares has proven problematic. The elimination of minimum fares for limousine/sedan operations erases the distinction between on-demand taxi services and the traditional pre-arranged limo/sedan services which results in unfair and ruiness competition to the taxi industry.
Your reporter also needs to perform some basic fact finding and actually read our report. Houston is not the only major U.S city without the services of Uber – far from it. In Texas alone, Uber is not in Austin or San Antonio. Both of these major cities have minimum limo/sedan rates which preserve the majority of on-demand trips for taxi services. Both of these Texas cities have also indicated that Uber and any other ridesharing services are welcome but that they must comply with current regulations for ridesharing and limousine operations.

Many other communities have also refused attempts to either drastically change their current regulatory requirements or permit these new transportation dispatch companies to operate. Other cities, such as Seattle, are limiting the number of vehicles these new entrants may have (100) and are allowing them to operate only 16 hours per week.

As one might expect, drivers in the taxi industry worldwide oppose the operation of new entrants that do not have the liability coverage they are required to have, the commitment to a regulated fare, extensive background checks, vehicle inspections, etc. Taxi drivers from Sacramento, California, Denver, Colorado, and Paris, France have blocked streets demonstrating against what they feel is unfair competition.

Taxi operations are in a regulated industry – one where there is a compact between the regulated and the regulators. In return for charging the approved rates (and no more) at all times of the day and night, serving all calls, and providing good service, the regulated firm can expect to be protected from unfair competition. Permitting limo/sedan operations to use variable rates and operate with distance based fares and no minimum is unfair competition! No investor or taxi driver wants to operate at such a disadvantage.

The City of Houston would do well to take its time in reviewing the experiences of other communities. Deregulation of your taxi industry would be a disaster for not just the industry but its drivers and the people they serve. These new transportation offerings that are attempting to illegally enter the Houston market or to force radical changes to minimum standards can be put on hold for a while with no negative effects to the city. Preserving and building upon the on-demand taxi service levels and driver incomes will take time and resources of the city. Houston can join its fellow Texas cities of Austin and San Antonio and wait to see just how other communities adopt or not adopt these new transportation network apps.

Very sincerely yours,

CONCLUSIONS: I had been asked by “Certain people” not to speak today. I was told the tide had turned and a majority of Council had a very bad taste in their mouth about UBER and Lyft.

No need for me to drive home points I had already made. Council would know what I was about to say before I said it anyway. Better to let some fresh new faces have a go.

I was absolutely amazed when I saw how enraged Council was at UBER and Lyft as they gave them the drubbing and ass-whipping they so desperately deserved. It was if 16 Joe Jordans were sitting in the Council member’s chairs. Bellissimo.

I am reminded of the lyrics of the 250 year old song, Anchors Away. “On our last night ashore, drink to the foe”. The next day the sailors and Marines would sail with the tide on the USS Constitution from Boston or Philadelphia and engage the mighty British Fleet. By the end of the day, many would die. So you drink to those you must kill before they kill you.

General Patton refined the sentiment by saying, “Make the other poor dumb sob die for his country”.

One can only imagine the response of UBER CEO Travis Kalanick in his wolfschanze bunker in San Francisco to the outcome of today’s joint Council committee hearing. Probably went something like this:

“Achtung! Ach du liebe. Der UBER blitzkreig im Houston ist kaput und verklempt. Unseren lobbyists bin alle sheiskopfs”. (Click google translate)

As glasses were raised and champagne flutes were pinged together across Houston Limo Land this evening, I warned operators, we have poisoned the well and gored the ox, but the UBER bear is hiding in its cave, licking its deep wounds and planning the next day’s attack. Now is not the time to relax or rest. We must push forward and attack even more viciously than ever before. Never give an opponent like UBER a break. A day without attacking them is a sign of weakness they will exploit to their advantage if you let them.

In my lifetime, I have seldom had a such a fun and enjoyable pastime as trashing UBER at every opportunity.
