UPDATE POSTED 1 P.M. THURSDAY, FEB. 24, 2022
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – The promoter of the April 2ndToughest Monster Truck Tour event at Rupp Arena has made the decision to change the start time from the originally schedule 7 P.M. to the new start time of 2 P.M.
“As the basketball season has progressed, we see that there is a very good chance that the UK Men’s Basketball team could be playing in one of the two Final Four games that day and we didn’t want fans to have to make the decision between rooting for their team and coming to the Toughest Monster Truck Tour,” said promoter Kelly Goldman. “The first Final Four game that day is scheduled to begin at 6:15pm and a 2pm start time for the Toughest Monster Truck Tour means that the event will be over by 4pm, giving fans plenty of time to get home and tune in to the game.”
Fans who already have tickets don’t have to do anything, other than to remember that the event now begins at 2pm instead of 7pm. Also, the Pit Party will now start at 11:30am and run until 1pm. Fans who have questions should contact Kelly Goldman at kellygoldman@thunderbirdentertainment.com.
The Toughest Monster Truck Tour will feature the King of the Monster Trucks, the truck that started it all-Bigfoot-and also several other premier trucks including the world’s largest dump truck Dirt Crew and the world’s largest ATV Quad Chaos. This event will be similar to past events at Rupp except that the Toughest Monster Truck Tour event will incorporate old-school crush cars into the all-dirt track. Plus, different from past events, the Toughest Monster Truck Tour offers discounted kids ticket prices in 2 of the 3 price levels.
The line-up includes Bigfoot, Quad Chaos, Dirt Crew, Kamikaze, Jurassic Attack and Toxic in the wheelie, racing and freestyle competitions.
Ticket prices start at $12 for kids age 2-12 and start at $22 for adults. Pit Passes are $15. The Pit Pass and an event ticket gets fans in early to walk on the dirt track, see the trucks up close, get autographs from the drivers and take photos.
The Toughest Monster Truck Tour begins at 2pm on April 2nd and the Pit Party will take place from 11:30am-1pm also on April 2nd. Tickets are available at Rupp Arena or on-line at www.toughestmonstertrucks.com.
