Tehachapi Event Center and Rodeo Grounds — Local services in Tehachapi

Fun time 4th of July, 2023! I bought a ticket for the Rodeo online, and although I couldn't find any info on how much parking would be, I was prepared for whatever. The thing to know about Tehachapi is, if you're used to LA (or any city for that matter), you need to dial it WAY back for this little town! For example, there was nobody guiding cars or charging for parking - it was just park where you want!

Even at the end of the night, cars didn't fight to get out, or cut the line, it was literally a single file, taking turns to leave.

I asked to speak to a supervisor and she couldn't give me any help. This was my first and unfortunately my last experience with this company. I'll do everything I can to keep people from going. Save your money!! They over book and take no responsibility for their actions. Absolutely the worst way to...

I traveled for 2 hours very enthusiastic, it started late, I arrived at 4:50 full and when I got a seat I was mistreated by a woman who, because she had arrive, said at 3 p.m. that she felt she had the right to put a chair with which she hit my knees. on purpose constantly retreating. I left at 7:15. Maybe if it were an event with numbered seats I would be encouraged to return and I could...
