    You know how this works. They have a "limited" number available to the public for a reason. Greasy KJ and triple chinned DM will be lining their mouths all evening....

    I normally would agree with this but this season they have had some really great packages in the lower bowl section. I went to 2 games this season.

    $60 Lower Bowl, free soda, free hotdog, free poster & I got to shoot a 3 pointer after the game

    $40 lower bowl , free soda & free hotdogs.

    What if you're vegan? Is it still a good deal?

    Y'all...do realize both games were sold out? What they are trying to do is get people in there EARLY.

    Flashseats reinstating the ability to bid would probably make a bigger difference.

    Part of the problem is that tipoff is very early. It's easier, especially with the quality of HD TV and big screens, and much cheaper to watch at a bar or at home than it is to leave work early to go to the game.

    Do people expect to get playoff tickets for $20? The prices are high, but I don't think that they're outrageously high for a team that has the 3rd best record in the NBA and is playing in a series against Russell Westbrook.

    Other NBA teams in the playoffs don't seem to be suffering from this issue tho. All the arenas seem to be packed at tip off. Houston isn't the only working city and the Rockets aren't the only team that has early tip offs.

    How many shot attempts did they give you? I would like at least 5. And did they let you give them your phone to record you shooting the 3's? I would love to do that next season.

    Please let me know your experience.

    Thank you.

    It's sad that the Rockets have to entice people to be in their seats in time for tip off. Do other teams have to resort to these kinds of measures?

    Les Alexander's solution to empty seats at Toyota Center at the beginning of the game.:D Could backfire seeing that most likely fans will be buying hot dogs, beers, and nachos at the beginning of the game. Good move tho.

    my problem is that my normal seats where i would pay like $120 for are up to $320 for the playoffs... $1 Hot Dogs and sodas aren't going to offset that 2 bill increase.

    So I noticed first 2 games, upper bowl tix were 59 each. I check for game 5 now and it's $10 more on their site (some upper bowl are showing $99), unfortunately I won't make it since I'm working that night.
