February 2, 2023

From campground passes to VIP concert upgrades, tent camping, RV camping, cabin rentals, limited-edition merchandise, motorcycle rides, and more, if it’s for sale, you’ll find it on Tixr.

Hailed as “The Largest Music Festival in Motorcycling®” and “The Best Party Anywhere®,” the award-winning music and lifestyle experience returns to Sturgis, South Dakota this August 4-13, 2023. The Sturgis Buffalo Chip®, presented by Progressive Insurance, has been the epicenter of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally since its establishment in 1981, bringing together music and motorcycle fans across all 50 states and over 20 countries. It remains one of the world’s most televised and longest-running independent music festivals. 2023 headliners announced so far include Lynyrd Skynyrd, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Whiskey Myers, and George Thorogood and the Destroyers, with more to be revealed in the coming weeks.

A renewed commitment to innovation

The Buffalo Chip is the original innovator that brought music and motorcycles together.Partnering with Tixr underscores that innovative spirit and a renewed commitment to continue delivering world-class memories for its patrons. “While traditions run deep at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip, we’re looking forward to giving our fans a brand new, thoroughly modern, easy-to-use purchase experience with Tixr, as our fans make their plans to rock, ride, camp, and party with us this summer,” said founder, Rod “Woody” Woodruff.

Upgrading the purchase experience

As the Sturgis Buffalo Chip’s new exclusive commerce platform, if it’s for sale, you’ll find it on Tixr: campground admission, VIP concert upgrades, legendary motorcycle rides, tent camping, RV camping, cabin rentals, limited-edition merchandise, plus all additional amenities and services available for guests. Our premium, white-labeled user interface puts the Buffalo Chip brand first and helps fans visualize what they’re actually carting.

For the first time, guests can reserve the perfect campsite from an interactive custom rendering of the grounds with Tixr Arena, rather than select accommodations from a list. On top of a more modern purchase experience, guests can tap into our built-in, automated layaway solution for interest-free payments with less than a 0.5% breakage rate. Sturgis enthusiasts can also earn perks and prizes for influencing friends to purchase campsites and passes via Tixr Rewards, our proprietary fan-to-fan referral program, by sharing their personal links with friends via text or social media.

“We’re thrilled to be working with this iconic American experience that’s been bringing people together from all over the planet for decades,” said Patrick Bradley, Tixr’s Chief Revenue Officer. “The Buffalo Chip is arguably the first-ever destination festival. Our innovative toolset and the flexibility and customization the Tixr platform can give large-scale events, especially complex travel destination events like this, is the right match fit to evolve the business and support its plans for even more growth.”
