<p>I would ordinarily say the game will probably start at 12:30, but this year it seems like they’ve been scheduling most of them at 7:30 p.m.</p>
<p>People who had tickets to the game (non-students) used to be able to take the student bus to the game. Don’t know if that’s the same these days.</p>
<p>If you drive, the best place to park is at the Parson’s building ($12) in old town Pasadena and take the free shuttle to the game and back. That’s what most people who do not have season parking passes do. Just remember, it is time consuming taking the shuttle back to Parsons – long lines, so either leave the game a few minutes early or take a bathroom break before getting in the line!</p>

<p>Your student’s ticket will be on his/her bruincard (it’s a swipe). You can purchase tickets either through the parents’ weekend website, or online thru stub hub or ticketmaster. Or right at UCLA. Or even at the box office at the stadium. It will NOT be sold out.</p>
<p>Depending on what GA ticket you get, you may or may not be near the student section, which is located on the northside bruins 30 yard line. Although you’re not supposed to sit in the student section, you can (usually) get by the staff and sit there.</p>
<p>My suggestion is get there early and go with your student to the Chancellor’s Tailgate party. Yes, it costs $35/pp in advance, but includes food & drink, the opportunity to meet Chancellor Block and his wife, meet a bunch of UCLA alumni and students, and hear some of the marching band and yell team do their thing. Lots of fun and one of the few places you can get alcohol unless you bring your own (none is served inside the bowl).</p>

<p>It starts 3 hours before the game, so you can get there early before traffic hits the area, unwind and enjoy the spirit. </p>
<p>I’ll be there, along with my son, who will be coming down from Cal for the game, and my husband (we’re both UCLA alums).</p>
