TicketCity is proud to be the new title sponsor of the Cactus Bowl. The Ticketcity Cactus Bowl will be played on January 2, 2015 at 8:15 p.m. MST, at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. The Cactus Bowl has been around for over 20 years and has grown into one of the most beloved games of the college football bowl season.

Why Is TicketCity Sponsoring the Cactus Bowl?

TicketCity has been committed to serving sports fans for over 24 years and we are excited to align ourselves with a similar organization. After the success of the TicketCity Bowls of 2010 and 2011, we knew it was vital to continue these sponsorships with the right partner. The Cactus bowl is a premier bowl game and the perfect partnership for TicketCity as we both have over two decades of history providing college football fans with memorable experiences.

Who will play in the 2015 TicketCity Cactus Bowl?

In 2013, the Pac-12 and Big-12 agreed to send teams to the TicketCity Cactus Bowl for 6 seasons. The game will feature the 6th selection form the Pac-12 against the 5th selection from the Big-12. In the event that either (or both) the Big-12 and Pac-12 send a team to the CFP, the game will pick the next highest team from those conferences, or choose another premier opponent. The matchup will be officially announced on December 7th, 2014.
