UCLA offering free tickets to first responders

UCLA is trying to give back to first responders by offering free tickets for upcoming sports events.

The Bruins announced in their release about Saturday’s football game against Stanford that first responders who present ID at the Rose Bowl box office will receive four tickets to the game against the Cardinal.

“In appreciation of their selfless service and efforts to keep our community safe, UCLA Athletics is proud to offer four complimentary tickets to Saturday’s game to all first responders. This offer can be redeemed at the Rose Bowl Stadium Box Office on Saturday by showing any valid first responder identification,” the release says.

LA Times UCLA reporter Ben Bolch says the Bruins are also offering the same deal for the Bruins’ men’s basketball game against Hawaii on Nov. 28.

First responders have helped to protect the communities around Los Angeles in recent weeks dealing with a mass shooting in Thousand Oaks and deadly fires throughout Southern California.
