Thank you for supporting the 116th California Rodeo Salinas, an event that brings our community together, provides fun for the whole family, and gives back over $800,000 to local non-profits. We are looking forward to seeing you there and are dedicated to making this a great and safe experience for all our sponsors and your guests. Please help us make this an enjoyable event by adhering to our
Sponsor VIP Code of Conduct detailed below:
- All seating at the event is open seating, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Sponsors and their guests are
not
permitted to save seats
in advance or hold seats for others who are not
present in the Sponsor VIP Tent. We ask that everyone be respectful of fellow
attendees and share available seating so all guests can enjoy the event
comfortably. Please respect the staff;
they are volunteers. Be mindful of staff and volunteers and follow their
directions when asked.
- Help us maintain a friendly and
welcoming environment by respecting other guests and sponsors.
- Do not pass your Sponsor VIP
badges to others after entering the Sponsor Hospitality VIP Tent. Each
badge number is assigned to your company and is recorded prior to your
arrival to prevent duplicate entries or resale.
- If you are observed passing used
Sponsor VIP badges to others, you will be asked to leave the area,
re-entry will be denied, your badge will be confiscated, and the sponsor
will be notified of the violation.
- Please observe and obey posted
signage, e.g., “no guests beyond this point,” etc.
- The Sponsor Hospitality
VIP Tent is a non-smoking area.
- Please provide one
lanyard per Sponsor VIP badge
to your customers before arrival.
- One (1) beverage (of any kind)
may be taken out of the Sponsor Hospitality VIP Tent area.
- No food will be allowed outside
of the Sponsor Hospitality VIP Tent area.
- Do not pass food or
drinks outside of the Sponsor Hospitality VIP Tent area. If you do so,
your Sponsor VIP badge will be confiscated, and you will be asked to leave
the Sponsor Hospitality VIP Tent area.
- Children are not allowed to climb
fences. The track fence is there for guests’ protection.
- Strollers will not be
allowed in the Sponsor Hospitality VIP Tent. Strollers must be left in the
designated area. Please ask a committee member for directions to the
designated area.
- All children must be accompanied
by an adult and cannot be left unattended outside of the entrance gates at
any time. Failure to comply may result in law enforcement being contacted.
- No animals are allowed.
- Restrooms for sponsors are located outside the
Sponsor Hospitality VIP Tent in the South Grandstands next to the ATS
Transportation Bar or in the West Grandstands. We urge sponsors to use the South
Grandstands.
- Please inform your
guests of these policies and your expectations for good behavior. Their
behavior reflects your sponsorship, your brand, and your family.
- People engaging in
disorderly conduct will be asked to leave the tent, surrender their
Sponsor VIP badge, and will be prevented from returning. For repeat
offenders, the Sponsor Committee will contact the sponsor and document the
offense, which could compromise future sponsorship opportunities.
- Rules are subject to
change at any time at the discretion of the staff. Please check back
frequently for any changes or updates.
- Seating is available across the
Taylor Farms Pedestrian Bridge, in the South Grandstands, and in the Lower
Grandstand area. These areas are designated by “Sponsor VIP Seating Area”
signs. Guests must have a Sponsor VIP badge to enter.
- Additional complimentary
beverages are available at the ATS Transportation Bar below the South
Grandstands. Badges and wristbands are required for entry to the ATS bar.
Two (2) beverages per person will be allowed out of the ATS Bar per visit.
If a guest is suspected of abusing this privilege by making multiple
visits within a short period of time, we may issue a warning and/or
confiscate their badge.
- Please have all Sponsor VIP badge
holders check in at the entrance to receive their wristband.
Again, we thank you for your support and understanding. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Sincerely, the Sponsorship Team
