Topline:
The Pasadena Tournament of Roses is offering more than 1,000 tickets to the Rose Parade for residents who lived in areas affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires. It’s also giving away 10,000 tickets to Floatfest, where residents can see the floats post-parade.
How to get tickets: The tournament is distributing parade tickets through community organizations like the Eaton Fire Collaborative, which will be giving away up to two tickets per household; eligibility is determined by address. People can request tickets through Dec. 26, and residents will be randomly selected on Dec. 27.
What about Floatfest? Tickets are all gone to go to Floatfest on Jan. 2, but there are still tickets available for Jan. 3 for affected residents, "regardless of the nature of their loss.” Folks can request up to six tickets, and they’re available on a first-come first-serve basis. They can also request tickets in person at the front desk of the Tournament of Roses office (391 S. Orange Grove Blvd.) by Dec. 24.
