UCLA football tickets for $54/pair

Costco is selling UCLA football ticket packages again.
If you're a member of the warehouse store, a pair of reserve seats (tunnels 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, or 27) will cost $54 -- a savings of 35% off of face value. Look for the display pictured here, or just give tell them you want Item # 226979 at the register.
There's no limit on how many pairs you can purchase, but there is one catch ... you're only purchasing a voucher. It must redeem it for actual tickets on the day of the game or at the UCLA Central Ticket Office on campus. A game could sell out, leaving you without seats. The Tennessee and USC games are not options, but you shouldn't have any problem getting tickets to these games if you go to the ticket office early on:

• Sept. 20 - Arizona
• Sept. 27 - Fresno State
• Oct. 4 - Washington State
• Oct. 18 - Stanford (Homecoming)
• Nov. 8 - Oregon State

Each purchase also gets you a subscription to the Bruin Blue Newspaper and a coupon for discounts on UCLA merchandise.

Kind of reminds me of Vanderbilt and the "Bunny Bread" marketing days. Buy a loaf of bread and get a ticket. I can't understand why 35 million people live in California and they can't sell the tickets.

too funny.

I'm a Costco member. Too bad I can't make it out to LA.

Notice that USC and UTK games are not included. Seems like UCLA is just not as aggressive/succesful at selling season tickets which is probably due to them not owning their own stadium and lack of premium level seating. The Bruins are just looking for a way to unload tickets to non-marquee games. UTK does not have to do this, but I can guarantee now that I will be offered free tickets for every game at Knoxville this year except UF and Bama, as will many of you.

bama and wal-mart would be a natural fit.

The Blue-Light Special might appeal more to Kentucky fans.

You are correct. I guess Bama would be more in tune with Dollar General.

Damn you Ho! Beat me to it!

They're corner endzone seats that we pretty much never sell anyway. There are ALWAYS 15-20K empty seats for our games. And I seriously doubt this Costco thing will sell any more than a couple hundred a game. I guess they're trying to drum up some interest from the "casual fan". This is the first year they've ever done it.

As for the 35 million people...that may be true...but about 34 million of them could care less about college football.

We have our share of fans, but we could easily do with a 65-75K seat stadium. We don't need a 92K seat stadium. Other than the bi-annual $C game, I can't even remember the last time we had a sell out.
