Get in the TeamPBR FAN ZONE
Ever wonder what the VIP fan experience is all about? This year, for the
first time ever, TeamPBR is hosting the TeamPBR Fan Zone to introduce
fans to the red carpet experience of being a VIP at a PBR event. Each
day of the World Finals in Las Vegas, the TeamPBR Fan Zone, a totally
free reward for members, will be in full swing at Mandalay Bay with
autograph sessions, photo ops, contests with fabulous prizes of the
newest TeamPBR merchandise, and loads of fun. The only thing missing is
the bull! But there is a catch! -- You must be a member of the Official
Fan Club -TeamPBR to get in. Memberships are available at the gate, so
you'll have instant access to all the benefits of TeamPBR and will get a
taste of what you've been missing.
VIP Experience Packages with Exclusive Chute Seats on Sale Now for
First Half of 2010
What's a Chute Seat?!? If you can't ride the bull yourself, the next
best thing is a seat right ON TOP of the bull chute. You read it
right - this isn't behind the chute, these seats are on a custom
platform ON TOP of the chute so you can be ON TOP of all
the action. As the riders walk right by you to get on the bulls below
you, you can high five them or give them last minute words of
encouragement. Then get ready! Your seat will shake as the enraged bull
thunders around then storms out of the chute, spinning mere feet in
front of you. The only way you can get closer to the action is to be a
bull rider or employee of PBR! These seats are extremely limited, and
they're only available to TeamPBR members.
The new TeamPBR VIP Fan Experience packages include the option to
purchase the most coveted seats in the house - the chute seats, a chance
to go nose to nose with a bull as you tour the bull pens, pre-event
round-up parties, a personal meet and greet with a star bull rider where
you can get an autograph and photo from the rider, and enough TeamPBR
gear to outfit a cowpoke in style. VIP packages for the first events of
the 2010 PBR season and the final events of the 2009 season are on sale
now. Visit www.TeamPBR.com
or call 800-732-1727 for details.

TeamPBR has launched a fabulous array of new apparel, jewelry and
accessories ideal for holiday gift giving during the Professional Bull
Riders Built Ford Tough World Finals in Las Vegas, at the Fan Zone and

Just in time for the holidays or to wear during the Finals, TeamPBR is
unveiling a whole corral of new designs emblazoned on T-shirts, hoodies,
hats, and other apparel items, as well as jewelry and accessories. Fan
club members get a sneak preview and first chance to purchase the new
gear at the PBR Fan Zone & Marketplace during the World Finals. In
addition, the new 2010 TeamPBR membership kits will be available in the
TeamPBR booth at the World Finals and at Fan Zone events. The new
TeamPBR kits are now available online. They're the perfect gift for any
PBR fan - no worries about color or size.
"The fans have been thoroughly enjoying all the TeamPBR benefits,
changes and additions," said Katie Coulson, PBR TeamPBR Manager. "The
VIP Experiences were new this year and fans are raving about the thrill
of the chute seats. We believe the Fan Zone is a very exciting reward
for TeamPBR members. It will be a great introduction to the VIP
Experience for many who were hesitant to take that step and will give
them a taste of an experience that is absolutely unmatched."
She added, "Fan feedback on the new web site and merchandise has been
extremely positive and we're seeing increases in web site traffic and
membership, as well as in spending despite the recession. We're looking
forward to continuing the momentum in 2010."
