    If you get a Rockets mini plan you are able to buy playoff tickets before the general public can also. A little cheaper if you can't afford the full season.

    That was offered to me in cash outside MinuteMaid. I didn't want to get in trouble for selling it over there. Not to mention I dont feel safe taking $7K from just some random dude on a street corner.

    I am probably going to list them up on stubhub. I dont know how stubhub works though. I want to list it on there because you can get a much better price on stubhub then ebay.

    Agree 100%. I'm a diehard fan, but it would be REALLY hard to pass up that kind of money. Credit card debt paid off vs. one WS game.

    Hmmmm....

    it says it was sent around 1 pm today, but i have been checking my email all afternoon. just came up about 8 pm on my email though. i'd buy four, but I don't want to give/sell tickets away. i'll let some others have a chance in the lottery. that is if i can even get tickets: its limited availability.

    said it twice, will say it again. **** the lottery.

    this is three times. THREE! just one time, give diehard fans a shot to buy tickets. i don't care if there are only 5 tickets left and the whole world has a shot to log onto ticketmaster. all i want is a chance, like i've had throughout the season and the playoffs. like the white sox fans had. why is that so much to ask of them? maybe I can see an initial lottery... maybe two... at some point, why not give fans a chance?

    I got the email that we won four tickets and we could buy them and I really thought we had them. We clicked the link and soon found out all the tickets were gone. :mad: :( :(
