Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live: Glow-N-Fire runs 13, 14 and 15 November 2026 at Ariat Arena, 1911 Montgomery Street. The arena publishes four performances, each with a pre-show party two and a half hours before the show. Two of the four sit in the middle of a working day, and one leaves the afternoon clear.
The four performances
Friday 13 November runs 7:00 p.m., party from 4:30 to 5:45. Saturday 14 November runs twice, at 11:30 a.m. with a 9:00 to 10:15 a.m. party and again at 6:30 p.m. with a 4:00 to 5:15 p.m. party. Sunday 15 November is the matinee at 1:30 p.m., party from 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
The listing prints door time and start time as varying by day and the price range as varying. The four-line grid is the only published clock.
Sunday owns the middle of the day
The Sunday party opens at 11:00 a.m. and the show at 1:30 p.m. The building takes the center of the day. A morning block covers the hours before 10:15, which carries a call or two and a shower before the walk across the plaza.
Saturday morning gives the afternoon back
The earlier Saturday show starts at 11:30 a.m. with the party from 9:00. That performance ends early enough to leave the afternoon, and an afternoon block becomes the useful one. The evening card, 6:30 p.m. with a 4:00 party, leaves the morning instead.
Three rules decide which side of the door
Re-entry is not permitted at Ariat Arena. Bags are capped at 12 by 6 by 12 inches, and the arena lists the messenger or laptop bag among bags that will not be permitted inside. Laptop computers, and any personal computer or tablet, are refused inside the arena outright.
The laptop rule decides where the machine stays. It stays in the room. Carry a phone and a bag under the limit, and treat the first entry of the day as the only one.
Wi-Fi is inside, the laptop is not
Complimentary guest Wi-Fi runs during all events on a network called AriatArenaWiFi, with no password. The connection is not the constraint on a working visit.
What the day inventory carries
Fourteen Fort Worth properties publish a day rate on the hourly layer on a 26 October 2026 read, from Quality Inn West Fort Worth at $55 to Courtyard by Marriott Fort Worth Historic Stockyards at $177. The mean is $84.14 and the median $75. Every figure is the minimum offer price on the card. The booking fee sits on top, at $6 a stay on twelve of the fourteen cards, $8 at Embassy Suites and $10 at the Courtyard.
Distances below are straight-line from 1911 Montgomery Street. Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Worth Downtown sits 2.40 miles out at $123 on a single 10:00 to 15:00 block, which covers the Sunday matinee build-up and nothing earlier. Courtyard by Marriott Fort Worth Historic Stockyards sits 3.64 miles out at $177 with three eight-hour windows, 7:00 to 15:00, 8:00 to 16:00 and 11:00 to 19:00. Quality Inn West Fort Worth sits 4.86 miles out at $55 on 7:00 to 15:00, 9:00 to 17:00, 10:00 to 23:00 and 17:00 to 23:00, the cheapest card that runs past the matinee.
Parking opens an hour before the party
Arena lots open three and a half hours before show start, and the pre-show party starts two and a half hours before. The gap is one hour on all four performances. Sunday lots open at 10:00 a.m. for a 1:30 p.m. show and an 11:00 a.m. party. Saturday lots open at 8:00 a.m. for an 11:30 a.m. show and a 9:00 a.m. party.
The Chevrolet Parking Garage holds 2,200 spaces at 3464 Trail Drive, and the Yellow Lots open for every arena event. The arena prices parking by event, takes cash or card at the lot, and sells general prepaid parking on the Yellow Lots or the garage. Rideshare drops at the west entrance in the Secretariat Drive lane and picks up on Harley Avenue.
Book the hours, not the night
A Sunday visitor books a morning window and checks out before 10:15. A Saturday-morning visitor takes the same window ahead of a 9:00 party. Friday and the Saturday evening card take a block that starts in the afternoon and runs past the 7:00 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. start. The arena sells kids pricing on all four shows, and groups of nine or more go through groupsales@ariatarena.com.
Build the booking around the door time the arena publishes. The room holds the hours on one side of it, and the machine stays behind.
