BOWL INFORMATION
Be a Major Part of Temple's Future!
It is extremely important to purchase bowl tickets directly from the Temple Athletics Ticket Office as it affects Temple's success and future bowl selections. When bowls are making their annual selections, they typically look at the history of fan base travel and ticket sales. Only tickets purchased through a university's ticket office are taken into consideration, not tickets purchased through other avenues.
Part of our allotment of tickets will also be set aside for current Temple Students.
