Two Fort Worth Nights for Matt Rife's Stay Golden Tour
Comedian Matt Rife has two Fort Worth nights on his Stay Golden World Tour, both at Ariat Arena (formerly Dickies Arena) and both in the week before Christmas. The arena moved his Saturday, December 12 show to Saturday, December 19, because that performance is being taped for his next comedy special. A separate show is also listed for Friday, December 18. Whichever night you have tickets for, here's how to plan the ride.
Shows at a Glance:
📍 Ariat Arena (formerly Dickies Arena), 1911 Montgomery St, Fort Worth, TX 76107
📅 Friday, December 18, and Saturday, December 19, 2026
🎤 Shows listed for 8:00 PM; check your ticket for door times
🔁 The December 12 show moved to December 19; check the arena's event page for ticket details
Check Which Night Your Tickets Are For
If you bought tickets for the original December 12 date, they're for the rescheduled December 19 show. Check the arena's event page or your ticket account for the official details. If you already booked a car with us for the 12th, call or text (682) 276-6812 to move it to the new date.
Friday, December 18
The Friday show lands on a workday evening during office-party season, so the highways into Fort Worth stay slow later than usual. If you're coming from Dallas or Collin County, we'll plan an earlier pickup than we would for Saturday.
Saturday, December 19
This is the night being recorded for the special, and it's the final Saturday before Christmas, when restaurants and shopping centers are packed. Recorded shows usually want everyone seated before it starts, so build in extra time to get through the doors.
Before You Go
- Check the age and phone policies on your ticket. Comedy tours often set an age minimum, and some shows lock phones in pouches during the set. Your ticket or the arena's event page will say what applies.
- Check the bag policy. Arenas limit bag sizes. Anything that won't pass the bag check can stay in the car.
- Plan for parking if anyone drives. The arena sells event parking; buying a pass ahead of time for the right lot saves time. Riders with us skip it.
Plan the Night
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| Early evening | Pickup, timed to your starting point and holiday traffic |
| Before 8:00 PM | Drop-off at the arena with time to get through the doors |
| 8:00 PM | Show time |
| After the show | Your chauffeur is waiting and texts the meeting point |
| Later | Home, or a late dinner on the same hourly booking |
From downtown Dallas, allow about 45 to 60 minutes in holiday traffic; from Arlington, Southlake or Grapevine, about 25 to 40; from Frisco or Plano, about an hour or more. For larger groups, a Sprinter or limo keeps everyone together. See the fleet and our Fort Worth black car service.
