    Hey Clutchfans!

    Yes it is premature. Yes some people may not like this as it could be conveived as a jinx. But hell i don't care, this is the first time in my 17 years as a rocket fan that we have have a legitimate chance of reaching the Finals.

    So the question is, as someone from overseas, how should i plan on buying a finals ticket in Houston? When does the official tickets start to be on-sale? After each round? Do we get 2nd dips after all season ticket holders?

    Please please help me sort this out! I dont want to miss this once in a lifetime chance! Thanks!

    Just here to say it's not that hard. I've been able to get several last minute playoff tickets over the years. Finals should be trickier, but not all that difficult early in the series.

    yea, it won't be hard to get them, just how much you are willing to spend

    WCF ticket prices are probably going to START at $100. If you are willing to wait, they may go down closer to the game, but if it is going to be the Warriors, I wouldn't bet on that. Finals is going to be another animal, I'll say it'll be the waiting room system like you saw with Adele tickets a few years back. Can't imagine prices will be for the Finals.

    Hey, since this thread was created, wanted to ask for a tip. I'm from Brazil and will travel to NY in April and plan to travel to Houston to watch a game from the second round of the playoffs (aiming for the game on the 2 of May). Is there any risk of it being sold out and is there any chance to get a decent seat at a reasonable price? Thanks!

    They usually send me an email for presale playoff tickets. You got to be ready to buy right on the spot or you may miss your chance at getting them for regular price. Then if you dont get it pay 2x the price or more from people selling them.


    Im for sure going to the finals no matter the cost but I said the same thing about the astros making world series lol i changed my mind after seeing the prices

    Thank you for those who have responded! Appreciate the feedbacks.

    So I take it that I have to sign up on rockets.com for tickets info to the emailed to me as soon as it becomes available? Cause I would really want to get the ticks at the original price instead of paying a premium from resellers.
