Cotton Bowl Tickets
Only a limited number of people each year are lucky enough to secure Cotton Bowl Tickets and witness this spectacular NCAA college bowl classic live at the stadium of the same name, located at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas. Ever since the late 1930s, this New Years Day showcase game has enthralled fans, first as the postseason home of the Southwest Conference champion and now as a traditional match-up between teams from the Big 12 and the Southeastern Conference. More than 71,000 fans can fill the Cotton Bowl stadium to witness this annual match-up, and tickets can be obtained by writing to the Cotton Bowl Classic ticket offices in Dallas or by phoning 1-888-792-BOWL. Currently, passes to the Cotton Bowl run $90 when available. However, demand far outweighs supply in a game like this, so ticket seekers may be better off exploring other avenues if they want to ensure that they will be in attendance in any given year.

History of Cotton Bowl Tickets
The first time folks had an opportunity to purchase Cotton Bowl tickets was back in 1937, as TCU and Marquette squared off in the soon-to-be classic. With an offense powered by all-time great Sammy Baugh, the Horned Frogs were able to outlast their opponents and come away with a 16-6 victory. In fact, TCU held the Marquette offense scoreless, only allowing them to score on a 60-yard punt return. The game was originally conceived by a Dallas oil tycoon and executive by the name of J. Curtis Sanford. Sanford promised each participating team $10,000 to come to the Cotton Bowl for a post-season game, and 17,000 fans were on hand for the first edition of the game. The game is set for New Years Day each year, moving to January 2 if the 1st falls on a Sunday. The only time the game was not played on one of these two dates was in 1967, when the game was actually moved back a day to December 31, 1966 to accomodate and NFL Championship Game. In 1941, the partnership with the SWC was finalized, and that lasted for more than 40 years. In 1998, the Cotton Bowl then signed on to host teams from the Big 12 and SEC. It is currently organized and operated by the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association (CBAA).
