    I haven't been to an Astros game in years, but I thought about going to tonight's game with a friend and his daughter -- perhaps just show up at the box office and buy some of the cheap seats.

    However, I have no clue if this is a waste of time or not, especially with Clemens pitching ... is there a better way to get tickets, or is it best to just show up at the park?

    eBay is great way to go for an even number of tickets, but it may be too late at this point for tonight.

    Going directly to the box office is your next best option (no ridiculous service charges) if you have time. I would suggest going several hours early (like around lunch), then coming back for the game at night. If you wait until the evening to buy tickets, you'll be standing in line for an hour and you'll be guaranteed the worst seats in the house. I like being able to just walk into the park when I get there and enjoy myself.

    I'd call the box office, buy some tickets and pick them up at the Will Call window before the game.

    Thanks for all the help and advice everyone -- a lot of direct help. I did contact someone that was selling tickets through one of the links you guys gave and those tickets might work. It also looks like you saved us from a mistake of just showing up in the evening... the hour-long line would have caught us unprepared.

    mrdave -- I emailed you through the board. Thanks ...

    I never even knew there was such a thing. Looks great.

    I wish the Rockets had such a thing. Or do they?

    No, to do the same thing for Rockets tickets, go through StubHub.
