The Rose Bowl game is scheduled for New Year’s Day at 2:00 pm PT between the Oregon Ducks and the winner of Ohio State vs. Tennessee, and ticket prices continue to rise. “The Grandaddy of Them All” in Pasadena, California is always one of the hottest tickets of the season, especially when the game is part of the College Football Playoff.

Currently, Rose Bowl ticket prices range from $347 to $2,635. Most tickets are closer to $400 for seats near each end zone and in the upper portion of the stadium. The most expensive tickets are available closer to the 50-yard line, in the shaded area beneath the club’s seating, suites and press box.

The weather in Pasadena on New Year’s Day is expected to be a balmy 60 degrees with little to no chance of rain, allowing fans of both schools to escape winter with a trip to Southern California.

The Buckeyes and Volunteers are scheduled to face off in the first round of the CFP on Saturday evening in Columbus, Ohio. Once Oregon’s opponent is determined, ticket prices are expected to increase.

Tickets to playoff games have been a topic of conversation since the bracket was released. Tennessee fans have reportedly gained access to Ohio State’s allotment of tickets in hopes of filling Ohio Stadium, commonly known as “The Shoe,” with the Tennessee Orange.

On the other hand, the Oregon Ducks’ ticket allocation reportedly sold out in less than an hour because there was no limit to the number of seats a fan could purchase. Therefore, many assume that large quantities of tickets were purchased with the intention of reselling them and making a profit.

When Oregon was announced as one of the Rose Bowl participants, Ducks coach Dan Lanning spoke of the excitement of playing in Pasadena on New Year’s Day.

“Being on this side of the country, this is a game you dream about, to have the opportunity to be a part of as a coach. This is one of the games I haven’t gotten to play yet. It’s definitely a thrill for me. Phil (Knight) does.” He always told me his number one goal was, “Can we get to the Rose Bowl?” That’s why I’m extremely excited that our team gets to be a part of such a historic game, the granddaddy of them all,” Lanning said.

The winner of the Rose Bowl will face either Clemson, Texas, or Arizona State in the CFP semifinals.
