Washington State University donors, season ticket holders, students and fans may now purchase tickets to the 2003 Rose Bowl through TicketsWest beginning Wednesday, Dec. 18.
"We have reached a time when the Cougar fans who were guaranteed the opportunity to purchase Rose Bowl tickets through the Priority Point System have done so and we are now offering the opportunity to buy tickets to donors and Cougar football season ticket holders," WSU Director of Athletics Jim Sterk said.
TicketsWest can be contacted on the Web at http://www.TicketsWest.com or by calling 800-325-SEAT (7328).
Rankings in the priority point system were determined at the close of business, Dec. 2, and 5,038 qualifying individuals were offered the first opportunity to purchase the 32,064 Rose Bowl tickets following WSU's Dec. 7 win over UCLA. Ticket orders from those individuals had to be received by 5 p.m. Dec. 16.
The Athletic Foundation has been contacting individuals ranked 5,039th and below in the priority point system, and season ticket holders, to offer the opportunity to purchase Rose Bowl tickets, according to Associate Athletic Director for Development Brady Crook.
Crook said the Rose Bowl tickets would be sent via Federal Express at the end of this week for delivery early next week.
