Official City of Borger Warning

The City of Borger announced on their Facebook that there isn't a Halloween Circus event taking place at the Dome in Borger on October 23rd. They're warning residents who bought tickets to contact the company directly for a refund.

Is Halloween Circus a Legitimate Event?

While researching Halloween Circus, the website appears legitimate and links to a ticketing site. However, looks can be deceiving. According to their event list, they're only targeting small towns.

Here are the Texas Panhandle dates listed:

October 20, 2025 - Dalhart, TX
October 21, 2025 - Dumas, TX
October 22, 2025 - Pampa, TX

Take Dalhart, for example, the event is supposed to be at Rita Blanca Coliseum, but no listing appears on the venue's calendar. In Dumas, the venue is Wille's Dance Hall, but according to Google, that venue is temporarily closed. Pampa's event is supposed to take place at The Armory.

Since the City of Borger notified residents about this event, be sure to confirm with these venues in other cities before buying any tickets, just in case.

How to Spot Event Scams

These days, consumers have to stay vigilant. If you spot an event that looks like family fun but seems out of place for the area, always do your research. Double-check with the venue to make sure it's really happening. Whenever possible, buy your tickets directly from the venue.
