Cheyenne Frontier Days officials say a bot attack on ticketing partner AXS has prompted a postponement of sales of Night Show Tickets to Monday, March 17.

That's according to an announcement on the Cheyenne Frontier Days website.

CFD officials say the attack could have prevented a "fair and smooth" ticket buying experience for purchasers. The sales had been slated to start today [March 13]..

According to the announcement, the attack was an "unprecedented issue' and ''The AXS team is actively reinforcing measures to protect against automated purchases and ensure a fair buying process.''

The post says that to make sure that everyone has a fair and equal chance to buy tickets, the sale has now been postponed until Monday, March 17 at 9 a.m.

We strive to protect and maintain the integrity of our ticket sales to the public," said Tom Hirsig, CEO of Cheyenne Frontier Days. "Unfortunately, our Frontier Nights ticket launch was targeted by an attack that surpassed anything AXS anticipated. We understand the concern and frustration this may cause our CFD community. We want to assure our ticket buyers, fans, and partners that providing fair and affordable tickets to our event is our top priority.

Here is this year's night show schedule:

July 18: Ian Munsick with Travis Tritt

July 19: TBA

July 20: Bailey Zimmerman with Josh Ross

July 21-22: PRCA Xtreme Bulls

July 23: Brooks & Dunn with Chancey Williams

LOOK: Cheyenne Frontier Days 2021 Grand Parades March Through Cheyenne

Four Cheyenne Frontier Days Grand Parades again marched through downtown Cheyenne in 2021, to the delight of thousands of onlookers.

At the parades (July 27, 29, 31), there was an endless array of marching bands, floats, riders on horseback, horse-drawn wagons, and other exhibits too numerous to mention.

The parades alternate with the Frontier Days Pancake Breakfasts which happened on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings of CFD week (July 26, 28, 30) at the Cheyenne Depot Plaza.
