Time To Do Our Part: Crowdsourcing Solutions To Empty Seats at TC

Seats in section 120 for the Pelicans game go for $340. I'm not sure how that compares to other teams but to me, that's way too high. No way in hell I would spend that much money for a single game.

I understand corporations buy those club seats in bunches, but perception matters. When you have rows and rows of empty seats, and fans, perspective players, journalists see that. It hurts the team.

 

Before fees.

The Rockets aren't a destination team. Houston has football and baseball before basketball.

Ya **** that. $340 is stupid.
Edit: wrong section.

Like I said, lower bowl seats need to be re-sold if they're empty for the whole half. This way, they still make money from the seats.

 

Through the Rockets official site I found tickets in 120 for $340. I found seats in that section for about $255 on StubHub.

 

Would higher level seat buyers be willing to be seat fillers with the understanding that they'll have to move back when those who paid for the seat show up?

 

I can buy an Xbox One for that much money. No thanks.

 

I'm sure they would. And i've thought about a lot of scenarios like this. Ultimately what happens is everyone will just start buying upper-bowl tickets and trying to mob the lower bowl.

 

Maybe the seats are too comfortable?

 

That would be too awkward for people... Unless when people entered the lower lever section, the usher goes to the seat fillers, tells them the people who bought the tickets are there, they leave, then the usher leads the seat buyers to their seat. That way there is no contact between seat filler and buyer.

 

Cheaper parking would help, but that's not what Keeps people out of lower bowl seats.

 

Yeah, I'd imagine you'd definitely need an usher or some one policing this. You can also make it where it's only done at quarterly intermissions.

 

Hah, I haven't made to club seats yet!

 

what

 

Their seats are 3X more expensive. Maybe that's why people do show up.

 

Let the Red Rowdy’s fill in the empty seats not occupied by fans in the lower levels by
the first 8 game-time mins.

They snooze they lose

 

Fertitta needs/can figure this out. He’s got to know it’s an eye sore. If he’s all that, which I believe he is he’ll draft a plan and execute it. Otherwise I vote mannequins.....
