Cheap Rose Bowl Tickets Available

From the Wisconsin State Journal: For those still shopping for stocking stuffers, Rose Bowl tickets are selling for less than half of face value.
Online ticket retailers such as TicketCity and StubHub were offering Rose Bowl tickets Friday for as low as $71. Face value for this year's matchup on Jan. 2 between the University of Wisconsin and Oregon is $150.
The university announced Dec. 5, two days after the Badgers clinched a second trip to Pasadena in as many years, that it had sold out its share of 25,000 tickets.
The lower prices didn't surprise Ed Mani, president of Burkhalter Travel in Madison. The travel agency has sold 270 Rose Bowl packages this year, down from 850 last year, when the Badgers lost to Texas Christian.
The 70 percent decline in Rose Bowl packages was identical to the decline between 1999 and 2000, the last time the Badgers played in back-to-back Rose Bowls.
"Last year was more of a frenzy right afterward," Mani said. "This year there wasn't the frenzy."
Middleton Travel did about half as much business as last year, president Mary Miller said.
Miller said last year most packages sold right away, but this year many of the sales happened in the last week or two as people found lower game ticket prices online and airline prices dropped.

So, if you want to see the Badgers in the Rose Bowl, this may be the year to do it for less money. And watch out for ticket scams.
