Got Tickets?

I found this tidbit in the L.A. Times...too bad the 24k tickets allocated can't begin to cover the 62k USC season ticket holders...

The distribution of Rose Bowl tickets:

• USC, 24,000
• Tournament of Roses, 23,300
• Texas, 22,000
• Game management, 6,200
• Other Pacific 10 Conference schools, 4,000
• PrimeSport travel partner, 2,500
• TheTicketReserve, 2,500
• Big Ten Conference, 1,000
• Ticketmaster October presale, 1,000
• Ticketmaster public sale, 1,000
• Additional working media seating, 1,000
• Pasadena residents sale, 500

Total: 89,000 (about 3,000 of the Rose Bowl's 92,000 seats are obstructed-view or disabled seating and are not routinely sold).

Alas...the 2006 Rose Bowl game is going to be such a strain on my pocketbook...
