Get Tickets to the 2010 Rose Bowl and Tournament of Roses

Here we are going on and on about New Year’s Eve when there are hundreds of thousands of frenzied football fans who actually look forward New Year’s Day even more. With the Ducks’ victory over Oregon State yesterday, the teams are finally decided and the granddaddy of all bowl games is less than a month away.

Attend the biggest college football game of the year, the 2010 Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes will square off for a year’s worth of bragging rights at Pasadena’s aptly named Rose Bowl starting at 2:10 p.m. All 64,000 seats will be filled with blustery fans, and believe it or not, you can still be one of them.

2010 Rose Bowl Tickets go on sell to the general public on December 8^th at 8:00 a.m. PST through Ticketmaster. All tickets cost $145. Needless to say, these things sell out faster than Preparation H at a Bon Jovi concert, so you’ll want to have your Internet browser ready right on time.

Of course, it’s not just the game. The famous Pasadena Rose Parade, also called the Tournament of Roses Parade, actually predates the bowl game by more than a decade and year after year commands way more viewers. Bands, promoters, sponsors and performers come from all over the nation to participate in this awesome spectacle of a New Year’s Day celebration.

The Rose Parade is all about flowers, floats and flugelhorns (well, the rest of the band can come to). As a former band nerd myself, the marching bands always grab my attention. This year the parade host bands from Texas, Missouri, Washington, Massachusetts, Georgia and even Japan.

The parade is free to watch, though you have to buy tickets to most reserved seats. The 2010 Tournament of Roses Parade starts at 8:00 a.m. on January 1. The route runs along Colorado Boulevard. Grandstands at Colorado and South Orange Grove. Learn more.

All festivities take place in Pasadena, California, located a short trip northeast of Los Angeles. Head in for the Rose Bowl and stay simply. For quick trips in and out of the LA area, we like the Holiday Inn LAX Airport Hotel. It’s got a convenient location next to the airport (free shuttle, too), it’s always affordable, high-speed wireless, and an activities concierge to help you find a little New Year’s Eve fun the night before.

We’re also newly fond of the Holiday Inn Express Century City, a west Los Angeles hotel not too far from Pasadena and the Rose Bowl. If you want to enjoy the city as well as the January 1 festivities, it’s a good choice with rooms available. 

Don’t miss the 2010 Rose Bowl and Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena.
