Out of Towners thinking of flying to Houston for Playoff game?

One day, when I'm old enough and rich enough, I'll buy a first class ticket to Houston when the Rockets are having a home game stretch, buy at least 3 courtside seats for those games and just watch the Rockets upfront and close for the first time in my life.

 

what are the cheapest prices available for playoff tickets, approximately?

 

Dave2000 organized an awesome CF.net group section for game 1 last year. The_YoYo was on hand. Can't remember the exact price but it was reasonable. We all met at Live ahead of time. It was a little high up, but I've never had more fun at a game, ever.

 

I wanted to use my flier miles to catch a trip to Houston and catch a game last year. So I called the Rockets representatives and one of the guys I talked to said since I was coming all the way from L.A. he would for sure hook me up with some FREE tickets near the Rowdies section as long as I come dressed in Rocket Red! He told me to call him when ever I wanted to catch a game and had my plans fixed. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it because of school. I am going to try and do soon though. You should call the Rockets organization and they can tell you what they can do. To me, they were very friendly, nice and helpful!

 

Wow that will be fun.

I would worry about tickets first. Then I will live in Fort Worth if I have to for a 20$/night motel, take bus to the TC.

But that's just me.

 

Hope someday i can go there

 

use hotwire.com for some decent deals......i got a hilton suite right across the street from Toyota center for a good price.....people are friendly as hell in Houston

 

i flew out last year for the first two playoff games and this year for the home opener. i flew continental from los angeles to George bush and it was roughly 220 round trip after all fees/taxes.


i sat in Dave's group seats there were inexpensive tickets and we sat pretty high up but the experience i had up there was indescribable. i sat with the rowdies for game 2 of the playoffs that was amazing as well.

my recommendation is that see if there is a group thing from CF if not then try to get tickets near the rowdies or with the rowdies it will be well worth it.

generally i find continental to be the cheapest since their hub is george bush airport but its a bit further away from downtown houston fyi.


oh and as for accomodations I've been fortunate enough to have cf.netters offer me a room at their place or a floor

 

i have a feeling YOYO will be here......one of the most hardcore/realest fan ive ever met

 

i was right next to you for game 1 against the jazz. That was fun stuff

 

I am going to fly in for the playoffs. I've been watching flights since August (because I had planned to come down during New Years)

But the best prices I have found were around 250 flying from Dayton into IAH.

I think that was either American or AirTran. Southwest has decent prices too.

 

I tried that once. I flew from Montreal, Canada to Houston in 2005 for the 3rd game of Houston-Dallas series. I sit on 2nd row behind the basket. Too bad Rockets lost that night. That was my first professional game experience. It cost me quite a bit though.

 

I remember- it was a blast!

YoYo was so hyped that he started stage diving and took out at least five rows.

 

man... this new job i am starting has an office in Houston, can't wait till the day they send me over for a business trip!

 

lol classic......

 

I share this dream!

 

I'm more than willing to do it. Someone just needs to buy my plane ticket and game ticket and I'm there. I would prefer a ticket next to a good looking single female Rockets fan in her 20's. Thanks.

 

HEY NOW!

haha i kicked some guy in his head poor guy he wasnt even part of our group either.

ah fun times oh boy i cant wait to do it again (not the falling part though my shoulder was acting up for the next 2 weeks i think i tore something i dunno never went to check it out its all good now though)
