The Badgers are headed to Pasadena for their tenth appearance in the Rose Bowl and the Better Business Bureau in Wisconsin is warning fans of ticket scams, questionable travel packages and counterfeit merchandise. “I think 90,000 plus people will be attending the Rose Bowl this year and so we’re encouraging at the Better Business Bureau for people who want to go to the game to go through official ticket sites.” The Bureau’s Susan Bach says if you miss your chance to buy tickets through the team, fans may turn to outside sources such as ticket brokers, online auction sites like eBay, classified ad websites like Craigslist or outside the stadium on game day. When buying online, use a credit card or Paypal, never leave the website to finish a transaction, try to buy from someone who is local and ask the seller to email you a picture of the tickets including a receipt or other proof the tickets are not counterfeit.
