    I was trying to buy tickets in the $49 section and I ended up getting 2 tickets for $59 each. I tried to process the order and they would not allow me to complete the order after putting in my CC info. I went back and tried to buy tickets in the same section and it gave me the same seats for $69, totaling $150. I understand Hack-A-Asik and Harden's threes = more demand, but I had those tickets in my cart and I wanted to buy them.

    The tickets were section 421, row 13, seats 7-8. $150 is just too damn much for nose bleeders.

    Why would you spend money on a game when you've proclaimed the season over? Seems pretty pointless to me...

    Yeah, I was going to buy 2 tickets for game 6 but that's too much for nosebleed section. Besides, I already went to game 3, so I already got my playoff fix. lol

    I've always believed in this team. Even before game 1. I wasn't aware that tickets for Game 6 were already on sale. I thought the game had to be confirmed first.

    I was expecting the prices to be doubled based on the thread title but saw that it only went up $20. C'mon.

    What happens if you buy tickets early and the team is eliminated before the series reaches that game?

    They were in my cart. I deserve those tickets. Don't lie to me and tell me all of my credit cards had the wrong info and then say those tickets are no longer available.

    $40. In 09 I got row 2 for $30 each.

    I didn't know they were on sale yesterday.

    Damn, you aren't kidding lol. I bought my ticket right after they won the game and I paid $59 (or $65 after fees) for 404/row 6, not it went up to $69 before fees lol.

    Its a cheap business strategy, but they know tons of Rockets fans are willing to buy at that price.
