Rose Bowl 2025 tickets: How to buy
- Tickets: StubHub
Tickets to the 2025 Rose Bowl are distributed to football fans everywhere.
Once participating teams are determined, passes will be distributed to those ticket offices, who will then allot them to season ticket-holders, students and more select supporters.
For most college football fans, though, you can find tickets on third-party sites like StubHub, who already have seats available. So no matter who is playing — and regardless of your luck in any school's lottery system or allotment — you can still score tickets to the most iconic of all bowl games.
How much are 2025 Rose Bowl tickets?
Known as "The Granddaddy of Them All," the Rose Bowl is one of the most highly-sought after college football games. As a result, tickets are a bit pricier than the average game, though they're not out of reach.
As of mid-October, the cheapest seats to the 2025 Rose Bowl are $230. Want to splurge a little more? You can snag F-Suite seats for $415.
Those prices will likely skyrocket once the playing teams are determined, so those that want to experience the Rose Bowl for what it is should get their tickets sooner rather than later.
