Attending Rose Bowl Games

<p>Is it easy to attend to the USC/UCLA game at the Rose Bowl? Does USC offer transportation?</p>

<p>Also, is it easy for USC students to get tickets for the actual Rose Bowl Game (also, the BCS National Championship game is at the Rose Bowl next year too)</p>

<p>It depends on how UCLA does :slight_smile: Last year, they were selling extra USC/UCLA tickets through the USC ticket office. If UCLA manages to sell all their tickets to UCLA people, don’t expect there to be many tickets through USC.</p>

<p>Bowl games have very high demand, so Rose Bowl tickets are very limited - it is allocated by a lottery, weighted by a certain formula (I forget what goes into it - stuff like # of years that you’ve been a student, percentage of games you attended this season, etc). BCS championship would be even more limited because of the extremely high demand.</p>

<p>Well, next year the USC/UCLA is at the coliseum but yes, the ticket office does sell tickets for the game when its away. Its not too hard to get one, I know alot of friends who just went and got them, I think they were $25.</p>

<p>As for the bowl games, you can enter the lottery with your credit card, and if you get picked the tickets get automatically charged. I believe they were $135 each for the Rose Bowl and you could get a max of 2.</p>

<p>Getting to the Rose Bowl is a snap if you are relatively fit. You take the Gold Line up to Pasadena, then walk to the stadium. One year we drove a car, and after the game it actually took 3 hours to creep away from the stadium and get moving on the freeway. Never again after that.</p>

<p>The primo way to do the Rose Bowl is to go early for the parade, then walk over to the stadium for the game. What a glorious way to start the new year.</p>

<p>Next year I predict Rose Bowl tickets will be hard to come by for USC students (knock on wood). Holiday Bowl tickets will be abundant, however ;)</p>

<p>(Yes, I’m a student from another university who stumbled onto this thread. Ignore my message, but I just had to :))</p>

<p>Its all right, Best is going nowhere like he did last season.</p>

<p>Here’s a crazy thought, other pac-10 schools ought to be rooting for USC to make it to the national championship game (second to rooting for their own schools, of course). </p>

<p>It’s become extremely clear the past few years that the Rose Bowl will pick the #2 team in the Pac-10 if the conference champion went to the title game, regardless of how they’re ranked. If USC trips up again but still wins the conference, that’s another Holiday Bowl for the #2.</p>
