Red Snow Sword: Husker Sentinel Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 TV will be my method of watching the game Quote Link to comment
rawhide-jr Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Did he mention SCARY PART OF LA. That isn't the only scary part either. 1. Watch the game sober. 2. Leave the stadium and get to a safe area as mentioned. 3. Then get rinsed if you want. 4. If you get pulled over, pray it's my son and you are wearing red. I won't ever write tickets, but if you're an SC fan you get the Roto-Rooter cavity search from Bubba... When are tickets going on sale for this clash of the titans? Quote Link to comment

I am going to call the sc ticket office Monday and I will post the info that I find out. Quote Link to comment
bluiz18 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I talked to the USC ticket office and they said they dont even know when the tickets are going on sale....sometime in spring they say. I will be getting mine from a ticket broker or from UNL ticket office. Quote Link to comment

StuckinChicago Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Im in!!!!! Me and my family are going. My mom is a husker alum and we are small boosters, so we are gonna try and get tickets through the alumi association, and if we cant get those, we will find away, even if I have to camp out at the ticket office before they are released. See you guys in LA!!!!! GBR!!!!! Quote Link to comment
chad1971 Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 It's not gonna be like Notre Dame, All the SC fans are going. I disagree. This game has a huge draw for Husker fans. We will be coming into this game with a 5 game winning streak. It's in LA instead of Podunk South Bend. And as much as I hate Notre Dame fans, I do think that there will be more SC fans looking to make a quick buck than the jack ass domers. I just feel there is way more buzz for this game than there was for the Notre Dame game. I predict a sea of red! I also think the price will drop much lower than $350 a couple weeks before the game (probably $150-$250). I hope your right, but I know about 30 SC fans and they are going along with their brother's brother,sister, 1st cousin 2nd cousin ETC - There's gonna be TIX available but your gonna get raped on the price, The Collisium hold about 97,500 and there are 80,000 season ticket holders for SC now - Scalping is LEGAL out here if you own a business and corporations buy all the remaining tickets - My point is that website I listed has tickets NOW!!!! I would suggest having them in hand when you get on the plane wherever your coming from. Just remember where USC campus is - it's in WATTS and fake tickets are the NORM especially for big games. I've seen people at the gate not getting in because they bought a ticket from some guy off the street - So I'm just giving a little advice, This isn't PODUNK NEBRASKA out here there's alot of people that take advantage of out of towners. and also DO NOT PARK IN ANY CHURCH LOTS NO MATTER WHAT They have a SCAM with the tow truck companies to tow you after you go in the game. Take it for what it's worth. Thanks for the advice Chad. Since it sounds like you have been to SC quite a bit, can you give us some idea what we can expect while we are there? For instance, how is the bar scene around campus? How will SC fans treat my drunk ass? etc. Also, if anyone has luck getting tickets, please share with the rest of the board. Lets get a big group out there! First of all SC campus is in WATTS it's the getto you don't want to stay around there after dark - Lot's of CRIME and lost cornhusker fans will be easy pickens - WHERE TO STAY - SC is close to the 10 - FWY and the 110 - FWY by downtown LA, You want to stay as far WEST as you can and I will list the cities. Manhattan Beach - Not many Hotels, Lot's of Bars and GREAT resturaunts - I live here. Fairly calm but a good time. SAFE AREA You can walk everywhere Hermosa Beach - Not many Hotels, But 15 Bars right on the ocean and great resturaunts - Even if you don't stay here I Highly recomend it you will have a blast + CFN's watchsite is there. Patrick Molloys is my favorite bar. SAFE AREA, You can walk everywhere Redondo Beach - Lot's of Hotels 2 or 3 right on the ocean lot's of bars and returaunts and SAFE AREA You can walk everywhere Torrance - Tons of Hotels Tons of resturaunts SAFE AREA some driving but use cabs Santa Monica - Tons of Hotels Tons of resturaunts + 10 -FWY ends there which = easy drive. SAFE AREA some driving but use cabs West LA - Tons of Hotels tons of returaunts - Next to Santa Monica - SAFE AREA some driving but use cabs Brentwood / Westwood - Some Hotels lot's of resturaunts Fairly expensive, UCLA campus is here. SAFE AREA You can walk everywhere Venice / Marina Del Rey - Some Hotels Tons of returaunts FAIRLY SAFE AREA some driving but use cabs Those are the best places to stay - But keep in mind you have to at least drive to the game but when you get back to the hotel after the game WALK OR TAKE A CAB, all they do is look for DRUNK DRIVERS at night SO BE CAREFUL but the towns I listed you can usually find a bar or resturaunt within walking distance from a hotel - Whatever the time of the game starts I would suggest leaving 3hrs before game time there are about 8 exits to the stadium from the 10 fwy and 110 fwy for 97,000 people SO LEAVE EARLY - One thing to mention when making hotel reservations ask them how far it is to the stadium all the cities I listed are within 20 or miles or less but anything under 10 miles away from stadium = SCARY PART OF TOWN.
