Join Willie, Korie, Miss Kay, Sadie, John Luke and new to season 4, brother Alan Robertson. It will be an inspirational afternoon with stories of faith, family and fellowship. Enjoy this once in a lifetime chance to see the Robertsons in Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY. Since the Duck Dynasty’s premiere, the Robertsons have been busy being America's favorite big, bearded, camo-clad family. Despite their modest lifestyle and homes in the backwoods, this close-knit family has made a fortune on duck calls by turning a backyard business into a multi- million dollar sporting empire. Willie is the CEO and resident prankster of Duck Commander. As the only one with the business degree, he took the company from a living room operation down by the river to a premiere destination for all things outdoors. They may be living the rags- to-riches American dream, but they're just as busy staying true to their rugged outdoorsman lifestyle and southern roots. Tickets to the event go on sale Friday, August 9 at 10am at the Lexington Center Ticket Office, by phone at 1-800-745-3000 and Ticketmaster.com. Ticket prices range from $42 - $225.

As the only one with the business degree, he took the company from a living room operation down by the river to a premiere destination for all things outdoors. He says he honed his skills as a salesman by selling his freshly caught fish at the market with his mom as a young boy. Even then he was always working to negotiate the best price. While he says “being a redneck millionaire has its perks,” including buying new trucks, gadgets and swanky suits, working with kin can be a headache. Korie Robertson Though not originally from a hunting family, Korie fit in with the Robertsons right away. As Willie’s wife and business partner, she helped him grow the company into an ever-expanding enterprise. She serves as the Duck Commander office manager and has to make her presence known in order to keep the workshop from turning into a funhouse. She met Willie in third grade when he asked her to go on a moonlit hike at summer camp. They got married a year after high school and now have five children: John Luke, Sadie, Lil' Will, Bella, and a foster daughter named Rebecca. Kay Robertson Kay is the revered matriarch of the family. What she says goes. She was 16 when she married Phil and since then she’s been keeping him and the boys from spending too much time in the woods, bringing them back to civilization each night with a home cooked meal. Kay believes her cooking talents are a gift which she must share, so she often ends up feeding all of the family and most of the neighborhood. Her most famous dishes are banana pudding, fried deer steak, crawfish pie, and sticky frog legs. Kay’s favorite family member is Jesse, the family dog. But here’s the secret, every time he dies, Kay quickly gets a new puppy that looks just like the one that passed and even gives it the same name. As Kay puts it, “this way, you never have to grieve.” ### .
