    With my first birthday falling while I am in Houston, I think a Rockets game is in order to celebrate. The Rockets/Raptors game is my only option. Should I buy tickets online or is it better to go to Toyota the day of the game and buy them?

    Buy online from Toyota Center and do the will-call pickup option. I've never had a problem with it. Don't use ticketmaster either, same service except they have fees out the ass.

    Toyota center online charges a bunch of BS fees as well. They charge a processing fee (3.50 a ticket I think) and taxes. You're better off trying to buy it from someone on here under the classified section. You may be able to get tickets at the box office on game day since the raptors suck ass or you might be able to get them from the many scalpers who walk around the stadium selling. Just don't get ripped off (pay $30 for $14 seats). I got lucky last time I went as I paid $65 for 2 tickets in the lower bowl valued at $90 for the pair. If you're looking for 1 or 2 tickets i suggest waiting for game day.

    Rockets/Raptors game has the GUYS NITE OUT Special

    You can get 1 lower level seat for $31 w/ a free beer/cheeseburger!

    Can't beat that deal

    That's crazy!


    I'm gonna be in town for Christmas, and I'm also planning on going to the game. I also needed ticket advice.


    My brother has tickets already. His girlfriend bought him tickets in section 125, and they're very nice. I'm just looking for cheap ones, and then I'll try and move down. (It's the Raptors...)

    What about if I'm under 21? Can I do the deal minus the beer?

    Can I do that game day at the box office? What section are those generally in?


    Sorry Azadre.

    Yes I can.....

    I can get a Double Whataburger with fries for $5 or $6, plus I can get a six pack of beer for $6, and for $12, I've eaten better, had more to drink, and don't have to fight traffic going home! :D

    You don't get charged fees besides taxes when you use Toyota Center Online. Ticketmaster charges you like $4 convience fee plus a processing fee. Go to www.toyotacenter.org and order from there. Same setup and display as Ticketmaster minus the fees.

    It might be hard to get tix for that game. It is the return of Mike James afterall.

    I prefer going to the TC, but it's convenient as I work in downtown and they are open til 6 PM.

    Try scalpers outside of TC before the game starts. Might score great seats w/ paying near to zilch for it.

    This strategy has worked flawlessly many times. I scored first row terrace deck seats at an astros playoff game this year and I paid less than face value.

    I'm going to the game too. Mainly because of the Guys Night out deal.

    2 tickets, 2 beers, 2 cheeseburgers, 2 six pack coolers.

    You can't beat that for $52.

    I purchased the "Guys Night Out Package" and I will be in section 113 row 12. Am I in good seats? Also, since I asked for delivery, will I get physical tickets that I can keep after the game?

    Go Rockets!

    Go to Toyota tomorrow and buy them. That's what my initial plan was.
