Groupon selling discount Rockets tickets today

[Clutch]

Just got this in my inbox from Groupon. I haven't priced tickets this year so I'm not sure how great of a value this is, but Groupon deals go fast so I thought to pass this along if you're looking to go to one of those games.

Humans have been putting spherical objects in hoops for centuries, but until the invention of the dunk, the fast break, and face dribbling, it wasn't an activity worth watching. See if "basketball" lives up to the hype with today's Groupon for a ticket to a Houston Rockets game at the Toyota Center and a T-shirt. Choose from one of the following seating options: For $20, you get an upper bowl ticket (a $32 value) and a t-shirt (a $15 value, for a total value of $47) For $41, you get a lower bowl ticket (a $75 value) and a t-shirt (a $15 value, for a total value of $90) In addition to choosing your seating option, you will choose one of the following three games: vs. the Phoenix Suns on Monday, November 22, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, November 28, 2010 at 6 p.m. vs. the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. Led by big man Luis Scola and taller-than-average man Kevin Martin, the Houston Rockets hope to contend in the always-competitive Western Conference. Watch the players dribble, pass, and shoot the squared ball within the Toyota Center's entertaining atmosphere, filled with the Rockets Power Dancers, Clutch the mascot, and the routines of the Little Dippers.

I've bought tickets off Groupon before.

These are available on a first come, first serve basis, meaning you'll have to go to the box office to swap your Groupon for a Rockets ticket anytime before the game.

I'm still trying to find out what sections are available as part of this deal.

Are you able to pick your seats?

[adeelsiddiqui]

badass deal... in for 2

I got two. My wife bought from groupon for the Cirque de Soliel (spelling??), and you do not get to select your seat. You show up at the ticket office on Polk and they assign your seat then. It is first come first serve on the location fo the seats.. Having said that, our tickets to Cirque were pretty good.

So after you order through Groupon, you take the printout to Toyota center to swap it?

Those are pretty decent lower bowl seats

Saw that last night, get a free tshirt too. Not sure if it beats bidding for tickets on ebay.

Blah, I've never seen anything like this from my Chicago Groupon emails

[Johndoe804]

I just bought two for Thunder game. :P

[EffTheJazz!!!]

Scalpers are still the way to go.. got 2 seats from out side of MSG for $30 last night.. 10 rows up from center court. Got Jordan Hill's sweatband and met Bill and Bull (yes, i was very excited about that) and Scola..

[BugOnAHarley]

Sold out.

[glynch]

Got two in the lower bowl for the Thunder.
I wonder if the t-shirts will be any good.

Thanks, Clutch
