    I just checked ticketmaster and there are still $26.50 seats left for tonights game.

    Ticketmaster just offered me a pair of $26.50 seats in row H of section 237. A decent seat at a reasonable price.

    Sell out the Summit tonight. Pippen Sucks.

    I seriously can not believe that we can not sell the place out for a game like tonight's.... disgraceful.

    Fans won't start coming back until the Rockets make the playoffs. Lets just hope that the crowd that is there, is LOUD.

    That's sad. A chance to boo Snottie should sell out.

    Sorry jamcracker... [​IMG] Not much chance that I'll be skipping school again to catch the Rockets... But I agree that this should be an easy sell-out...

    Does the average Houstonian even KNOW that this team is hot?

    No.

    As for me, I can't afford even the $26 at this point. That's the breaks when you are breaking into business for yourself. [​IMG]

    I'm at work, and our internet server is acting up. I'm getting lots of timeouts and 'couldn't find the page you requested".

    But what's worse is that I can't get a feed from SportsTerminal for the audio to the game. Aaargh! Oh man this is gonna suck if I can't even listen to the game! [​IMG]

    "So was the game packed? Sellout?"

    I don't know what the official attendance was, but my friend visiting from London bought a ticket from the box office after the 1st Q started. [​IMG]

    Here's a telling story for ya' Darkhorse.

    I was at Academy on All-Star Sunday getting some bbque'n supplies at the behest of Behad (hey I like that phrase, hehe). The women at the checkout counter asked if I was getting ready for "the game". Wow, it isn't like a Super Bowl game or anything. I didn't expect someone to equate bbque'n with the NBA all-star game.

    She said, "So, who are you rooting for? I want the West. But, I'm upset the Rockets didn't get anyone. I think they should have two playing."

    At this point having been thoroughly surprised by her NBA awareness, I was amazed she was going to say Francis and Mobley...a big homey that would make her.

    But alas, she said, "Barkley and that other one...[pause]....Francis."

    shake my head.

    The lower prom was pretty full. Most of the empty seats were upper deck.

    No offense, Smokey, but

    "Those $10 seats if not sold out become hella of a lot expensive when you count parking ... "

    <h1>Summit Parking is FREE!</h1>

    You guys are really stretching for excuses when you blame the f*cking free parking.

    more accurately,

    <h2>All fees are included in the ticket price</h2>

    My understanding is: the man who built the Summit donated it to the city for free. Why? Because the city in turn helped make the Greenway Plaza area a parking bonanza.

    Oh...I did not know that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I have never been to Compaq Center therefore I do not know the parking situation. Someone told me it was $10 per car.

    Yeah, all of the NBA fan cost index pages I've seen say that Summit parking is $10. I can't figure out why.

    As far as I know, there are only two options:
    "free" (included in ticket price) parking, and VIP parking for $25.

    So, Smokey, can I expect to see you at the next game? [​IMG]

    heypartner: The Summit was built by the city with tax dollars on land bought by the city. The parking garage was donated to the city in exchange for other Greenway Plaza land. Of course, in 1975, there was no Greenway Plaza! [​IMG]

    The parking garage has created some real problems over the years from what I recall during the campaign because the cooling systems for Compaq are located somewhere in them or very near them.

    Anyway, just wanted to clarify.
