Got my Ticket! Will be there to root on the 'Horns!

by jtdiddy on Dec 6, 2009 11:50 PM CST

I live in So. Cal and lucked out to know some Pasadena residents who were willing to purchase some tickets (rose bowl always allots a certain # of tickets to Pasadena residents) on my behalf. It was a lottery system this year but i'm one of the lucky ones and snabbed some tickets. $330 list price ouch.... but worth every penny

Got the tickets early Saturday morning so to say i was sweating bullets on the field goal kick was an understatement... i could easily have held tickets for 'Bama vs. TCU or Cincy... whew

Tickets

I paid for my game tickets today after the BCS Selection Show confirmed our trip to Pasadena. I went through the Tournament of Roses site and got them for close to face value. I reserved a hotel room right after the Okie St game thinking that was our real last test of the season. Boy was I wrong. See ya in Pasadena!

how did you manage that?

Tickets are selling for 850 dollars or so now…Face value is 275

Like Sunkist said below....

I also bought my tickets through Ticket Reserve. You’re paying for the right to buy face value tickets if your team is selected. I bought my 2 reserves before the season started at $90 a piece. Is it a gamble? Sure, because nothing is guaranteed. If your team makes it to the game or not you’re not refunded the reserve. But I would rather pay $90 up front for the right to pay face value than pay $800-$1000 before the game.
