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

What’s wrong with sitting behind the basket in the lower bowl tho? Those seats aren’t even bad and are nowhere near $200. How many places with a team as good as the Rockets, a player as good as Harden and now CP3, and in a city as big as Houston will allow u to sit center court right next to the action without spending much money? U can’t compare prices for irrelevant teams like the Nuggets to the Rockets.

 

The upper bowl is usually filled up?

Do you only go on weekends?

 

TC is too expensive. Even their nosebleed is 100 dollars. I went to see the rockets play the wizards at courtside for 120. Seen the rockets at midsection seating in Memphis, Atlanta, Orlando and Detroit for less that a hundred. I seen Dallas a cowboys game at mid-level seating for cheaper than Rocket tickets and we haven't been annual contenders.


Anybody in this thread saying the TC isn't overpriced is delusional. The rockets are the only team I root for that I haven't been to a home game and it's very disappointing and frustrating. Having to always travel to away games to see them play. I remember Ron Artest complaining about the prices when he was buying tickets for some guest and he's a millionaire for Christ sakes!!!

 

mostly on the weekends, but on weekdays too...most of the time when I go the upper bowl looks fine

 

tickets can get a little expensive when high profile teams are playing at TC (Spurs, Warriors, Cavs, etc), but for a lot of games, u can find affordable tickets quite easily and don’t have to pay $100 to sit in the nosebleeds or $200 to sit in the lower bowl

seems like y’all just want to sit center court in the lower bowl for $100

 

They should lower the price of food and drinks
Ticket prices aren’t bad

 

dude, u just named teams that have been garbage for a while and/or always have trouble selling tickets...of course their tickets will be cheaper

U think places like Memphis, Atlanta, Detroit, or Orlando could get away with charging $200 to sit at center court?

stop comparing Rockets prices with those of irrelevant franchises, especially when the Rockets have been a 50+ win playoff team the last couple of years and have had a marquee player/MVP candidate like Harden

I bet when Orlando was good and had prime Dwight u wouldn’t have been able to sit center court for less than around $200 for many of their games

 

yeah, I agree with that...the food and drinks are definitely overpriced

$10 for a small Papa John’s pizza...10$ for a burger and fries...beer prices add up quickly

 

Atlanta Memphis and Detroit were playoffs squads. Stop it? I go to a lot of games in multiple sports and the TC are at the top of of the strep when it comes to ticket prices. You can delude yourself all you want but it is the truth.

 

I said have been garbage AND/OR have trouble selling tickets...all those teams u named are usually near the bottom of the league in attendance

a place like Atlanta doesn’t even sell out playoff games a lot of the time...

Detroit? Seriously? Detroit could never get away with charging 200 something just to sit in the lower bowl. They have been near the bottom of the league in attendance for years and have made the playoffs just once since 2009. Of course u got to sit at center court for relatively cheap at places like Memphis, Orlando, Atlanta, and Detroit. C’mon man.

 

not really. funny how people expect good things to basically be free. sorry doesnt work that way

lol @ the fake artest reference

 

yeah, I’m really excited about what Tilman might do to change the TC experience

I feel like he has a lot of great ideas that he’s waiting to implement

the celebrity 1st shot was cool, I can’t wait to see what else he has in store

 

It's always like that. These dudes are spoiled and aren't satisfied just being inside. I wait near TC ready to buy the cheapest ticket I can on a Tuesday ready to make noise when i walk in.

 

Do you have $40? I can get you a ticket to a weekday game (unless it's a hype team), get you a nice HH meal at McCormick and Smicks, buy a sixer at phonicia and a free soda inside TCfor that. Don't make excuses.

 

I’m one of those guys who sits in the “corporate” seats when ever tickets from the job fall my way. Yes, I get there late. Yes, I spend a nice amount of time in the clubhouse and lounge areas. And yes, there would be problems if there’s some random sitting in my seat if and when I decide to go sit in it.

Just the way it is boys. You’ll understand one day.

 

I just don’t get all of the complaining about prices when the tickets are very affordable for a lot of the games

u don’t have to be in the club sections to have a good seat and have a good time

if u want to see a team like GS, SA, or Cleveland, then yeah, prepare to pay over $100 to be in the lower bowl and at least $80 to be in the upper bowl...if u just have to be center court in the lower bowl then be ready to drop at least $400

but for a lot of teams that come through TC, 20 something bucks will get u into the upper bowl, and u can find tickets starting at around $40-$70 in the lower bowl depending on the opponent

The Blazers and the Jazz? Closer to $40. Giannis and the Bucks? Probably closer to $70.

people are acting like u need to get a loan just to get into the building

 

Don't think the ticket prices are all that high and definitely never paid $100 for nosebleeds.

Just check out the 'For Sale' section on here. Have always gotten pretty good seats and decent prices last couple of seasons. Food though could be a little better for the prices.

 

The tickets never go unused per se. They’re always distributed to employees and or customers. But I’d imagine that no one is really keeping tabs on if the person that has the tickets actually shows up or not.
