    they're called no-shows. unless the rockets have a buy-back program where they split the resale price with the ticket holder, you'll always have people who buy tickets and don't show up (especially corporate).

    Is there a designated meeting spot?

    They should've done it for the game against Dallas IN Dallas. Now THAT would've been a site to see.

    I hope most of ya'll on this board go to this game, either get a free ticket or buy one. It would be a crazy sight to see if the pace was just going nuts for a game vs Toronto.

    Sorry... I what do they call that little square where ppl hangout before the games. It's in front of the building. I can't remember if it had a name. I thought it was also called the bud something-or-other. There was a huge crowd there for our playoff game against the Lakers JVG's first year here.

    OK here's the deal on this ....

    There will be a Budweiser stage set up outside of the Toyota Center on the LaBranch side. They are going to start giving tickets away at 6:00pm.

    However, note there are closer to 500 tickets being given away outside. Budweiser did buy over 1000 for giveaways, but many of those are reserved for other deals they're having. So get there early if you can ...

    Rockets have discounted the seats for this game as well - and while some might not be all that into watching the Raptors, bear in mind that being in the arena for a whooping is about as fun as it gets, so I know I called Brian immediately to nab a pair.

    Come out and join the Rowdy crew!

    how much is the tickets again at a discount? $25? $35? Was thinking about just buying them because I wont be able to get to the game until like 6-630 at the earliest because im taking half a day at work and have to pickup my cousins. Was thinking about just straight up buying them or we may do the Red and Wine Restaurant for the night to give it a try.

    I personally bought $60 tix for $40 (a third off the price, in front of the Rowdies), but you can call and talk with the reps (I've stopped buying tix online after discovering how helpful they are on the phone).

    Given that this game is this Wednesday, I want to sticky this thread so everyone sees their opportunity to get free tickets. I'm going myself with a friend... hopefully it's an extremely loud night.

    There is more information on the Rockets site...

    Man... I too wish I lived in our on the outskirts of H-Town. I live close enough to where I get almost every game on TV and they are still like the local team... but not close enough to go to games really.

    Have fun though you SOBs.

    i heard some people say that 5-5:30 would be a great time to get there. They are going to start handing tix out at 6pm.
