2015 Tournament of Roses Royal Court to Kick Off 31st Annual Visitor Hotline and Rose Parade Ticket Contest

The 2015 Tournament of Roses Queen and Royal Court will help kick off the Pasadena Convention and Visitors Bureau’s 31st annual Visitor Hotline on Dec. 29 with a ticket prize giveaway to the 2015 Tournament of Roses Parade.

Rose Queen Madison Elaine Triplett and the Royal Court will make a special appearance at the Pasadena Convention Center from 9:00 -10:00 a.m. on Dec. 29 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to kick off this year’s Visitors Hotline. They will then work the phones and take the year’s first calls to the hotline.

Contestants are eligible to win the Rose Parade tickets by following the Visitor Hotline on Twitter at @VisitPasadenaCA on Facebook at /VisitPasadena or Instagram at #VisitPasadena. After the hotline opens on Dec. 29, simultaneous tweets, Facebook postings and Instagram alerts will be sent notifying followers when to respond through social media for a chance to win Rose Parade tickets.
