Popular demand results in additional Nitro Circus Live show at Greater Nevada Field
RENO - With Travis Pastrana's Nitro Circus Live May 6 show officially sold out, a second date has been added at Greater Nevada Field, set for Thursday, May 5, 2016, the Reno Aces and Reno 1868 FC announced today.
The death-defying stunts and mind-blowing tricks begin at 7:00 p.m. both nights. Tickets for the May 5 showing are on sale online here and also can be purchased by calling 775-334-7000. Highlights of past Nitro Circus Live events can be seen here.
"We're incredibly excited to bring Nitro Circus Live to Northern Nevada and Greater Nevada Field for back-to-back showings," said Aces & Reno 1868 FC President Eric Edelstein. "Although far different than what our fans are used to seeing on a day-to-day basis, this performance will truly be remarkable. We welcome the Nitro Circus Live family with open arms and look forward to continuing to bring premier entertainment to Greater Nevada Field."
The world's greatest action sports show heads to Reno as part of a just announced 2016 North American Tour. Nitro's daredevils - 30 of the best athletes in freestyle motocross (FMX), BMX and more - will ride a host of ridiculous contraptions and anything else imaginable with wheels, launching 50-feet into the air for a theatrical spectacle fans have never experienced before.
Nitro Circus Live has sold out legendary arenas such as Madison Square Garden in New York and the O2 in London. More than 35,000 people packed Johannesburg's FNB Stadium, site of the 2010 soccer World Cup final, for a massive 2014 show; 45,000 filled Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena, the second highest attendance of any touring act at that venue.
Fans looking for the ultimate Nitro Circus experience will want to get their hands on the all-new Nitro Club VIP package. Starting at just $79 each, plus applicable service fees, these exclusive passes include the best seats in the house, watching the final 20 minutes of rider rehearsals, as well as a chance to get up close and personal with the stars of Nitro Circus during an exclusive Q & A. Nitro Club pass holders will also receive a souvenir lanyard and electronically signed Nitro poster, as well as a chance to win cool Nitro swag.
"The initial response from the incredible Reno fan base has been overwhelming. We're so happy we can give area fans a second opportunity to see our totally insane show," says Michael Porra, Nitro Circus CEO and creative director. The positive economic impact the tour will generate also means Reno businesses can anticipate receiving a major boost with the show's arrival drawing thousands of people to their cities. "Hotels, restaurants, bars and practically every other business in Reno will benefit when Nitro Circus Live is in town," says Porra. "Through audience research we've seen that fans are blown away, saying it's the most exciting show they've ever seen. We're thrilled to bring an event to Reno that has sold out huge stadiums across the globe."
