If you are planning to go to the Rose Bowl, now is a good time to check things out to be sure that you are getting all that you are being promised.
Although there are a number of good ticket and travel packages, you need to be on the lookout for scams that tend to pop up when a big event occurs.
If you are planning to buy tickets or a travel package, here is how you can check things out and steer clear of trouble:

If you run into trouble, you may be able to dispute the charge with your credit card company.
