The 2012 Rose Bowl will feature the Wisconsin Badgers taking on the Oregon Ducks and currently fans can find  cheap Rose Bowl tickets on sale at below face value prices at PreferredSeat.com. The big game on January 2nd at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena is not sold out at the box office so ticket brokers are scrambling to sell off their remaining stock of Rose Bowl tickets at a loss.

The last time these two teams got together in the Rose Bowl the tickets were some of the toughest to get of the BCS games but with a poor economy the ticket sales for the 2012 Rose Bowl game are way down. There is not much time left to buy Rose Bowl tickets and have them guaranteed to arrive in time for the game so last minute buyers better lock those cheap Rose Bowl tickets in soon.

There’s still time to get your college bowl game tickets for the upcoming games this weekend and depending on which one you’re looking at will determine the hit on your wallet.

There are still plenty of seats for the Cotton Bowl at Cowboys Stadium, the Rose Bowl at Rose Bowl Stadium and the Orange Bowl at Land Shark Stadium, but the ticket prices are pretty stiff for these games. The starting price for the Cotton Bowl tickets are about $110 each, but for $350 you only get an end zone Rose Bowl ticket.

On the cheaper side you’ll find the Capitol One Bowl at the Citrus Bowl, the Sugar Bowl at Louisiana Stadium, and the Fiesta Bowl at the University of Phoenix to have the cheapest college bowl tickets available. For these games the college bowl ticket prices are starting at a low $35 each and there are plenty of seats available still.

As always though you need to be careful when you buy last minute tickets, especially during the holidays because of delivery issues. Check with the ticket broker you are buying your tickets from and make sure they guarantee delivery in time for the game or you can trust them to leave your tickets at the college bowl will call window. And if you’re looking for the big game, BCS National Championship tickets, those are available as well, but be prepared to shell out over $600 per ticket to enjoy that one.

The BCS National Championship is set for January 7th at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, and if you don’t already have your ticket, be prepared for to open your wallet. BCS tickets are currently going for over $650 each just to get an upper end zone seat. For the best BCS tickets on the 50 yard line you’re looking at over $1200 each.

And before you shell out that kind of cash you better make sure you’re going to get the tickets you ordered and get them in time. You can try Stubhub or Ticketsnow, but they have a tough time guaranteeing the exact seats will get to you on time, if at all. Because they have to contact the season ticket holder, hope he has not already sold them, and pray he runs right down to Fedex to get them shipped to you before the game.

A better bet would be to try a ticket broker with a great Better Business Bureau record. Since Stubhub and Ticketsnow get most of their tickets from ticket brokers it only makes sense to buy direct and save the extra markup. And ticket brokers can communicate directly with other brokers and guaranteed the tickets are shipped out on time.

Some ticket brokers such as PreferredSeat.com will also email the tracking information to you so you know exactly when your tickets will arrive. You just can’t beat the customer service of a good ticket broker over the poor communication you get from large corporate ticket sellers and a good ticket broker will be familiar with the events and venues, where a salesperson at Stubhub wouldn’t have a clue.

There’s still time to order your tickets to the BCS National Championship and you can sure you are getting what you order, on time, when you buy your BCS tickets from a reliable ticket broker such as PreferredSeat.com.
