    Time for Dwight to pull a Zach Randolph and buy those tickets.

    What exactly is Zierleins definition of cheap? I have a family of four, as die hard as we are, rare that we can go to playoff games. I've bid for seats on Flash even for this game, but never win. We go during the year on Family Nights, those are fun and affordable, doesnt make me less of a fan, too bad the building isnt sold out, Im surprised.

    I believe our tickets are middle of the pack compared to the rest of the league. The Warriors tickets are much more expensive, while the Hawks are dirt cheap. They are still too expensive for the average Rockets fan but I don't think that's Les being unreasonable.

    The Toyota Center is sold out, it's just that a lot of people bought extra tickets to resell on Flash Seats and apparently demand is low after the 0-2 start. I expect the prices to drop and the crowd to be electric tonight.

    700$ is one ticket and is considered cheap? wow! There must be many rich people in Houston. Or the wages are so high.

    The cheapest tickets are $125. That's very reasonable for a conference finals game. Where are you getting that ridiculous number? Yes, you can also find $4000 seats.

    Also, yes there are many rich people in Houston and yes the wages are high.

    670 bucks apiece is cheaper than i thought, tho still pricey. same thing to 300 for behind the hoop (sec 126).

    i am watching the price. if it goes lower a bit this afternoon, i may take my daughter with me and go...

    The game IS sold out. Flash seats is the secondary market.

    I paid $220 a ticket for section 125. Then Flash Seats busts you for another $100 in fees and taxes. $270 a ticket, with my bud getting me back his portion. That's super steep for me, but I mean come on... Conference Finals....

    I'm glad I wasn't able to get tickets through the Rockets Insider though...those were more expensive. Season ticket holders are being way cooler than Les.

    Just bought a pair for 150 each in the upper deck.

    It's pricey, but for a conference finals game, not as bad as I expected.

    sorry I read last two pages and that's what I understood. 125-250$ is totally normal imo. Good for you. :)

    BS. Harden is a smart cat. If play develops- he'll do it. He can carry team alone, as a big volume shooter he is a willing passer too. Good bbiq.

    Ready for this game now.

    After losing the first 2, need the taste of victory again ASAP.

    I don't think I'd want to replicate anything the hawks are doing right now, haha

    The Game 7 performance against the Clips makes me feel confident that this team will be ready. But I'm concerned about one major thing...

    Harden >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Klay these first 2 games, and we still lost both

    There's going to be one game in this series where Klay is feeling it and Harden has one of his 7-20 games. That game better not be today. We need James to continue playing at this historic level, we'll win tonight if he does it again.

    Hopefully Harden continues his performance and the role players show up tonight. Looking at you Brewer and Smith. ;)
