    I have access to season tickets 3 rows behind the rockets bench. Went about 10 times last year, let me know a date and I can get a hold of them and sell you one for 250 or so. Its legit, sold some to guys on here last year, ask dream4mvp...great seats, just let me know something at tw1099@txstate.edu

    My wife brought home two tickets home Tuesday (San Antonio- Rockets)from work that the owner gets every year. He said they get them every year. They were the best seats I've ever had. (Sec.126-Row B-Seat 14 &15) They had a 165.00 price tag on them. They should have been Row A, cause the only this in from of us were camera men and the basketball goal. There were three rows of metal folding chairs to the right a little bit,but they were on the basketball court. I could touch the court with my foot, still at least 15' from the goal it's self. I thought I was in heaven! I asked the guy next to me if he had these seats often and he said no, he was from out of town and that he either went online or at the box office and looked for a ticket but they only had a couple of singles by the court. I didn't ask them how much they costed. I had season tickets a couple of seasons ago, kind of similar but about 15 rows up on the goal side. The tickets Tuesday were directly behind the goal on the floor. You can see your tickets on the Rockets web site in 3-D. It was also on the San Antonio bench side. Tina Thompson was sitting in the one of the folding chairs in front of me with her little boy. :D

    These kind of threads will be the reason I pay for really good seats. Gets my imagination rolling to think of being so close. The pics some of you posted really translated the experience for me - haven't been able to get it out of my head. going to have to get good tickets eventually.

    I've been a huge Rocket fan since I was a kid, and have only sat on the lower deck once or twice - both were great experiences. But to sit in the first few rows - oh my, it would be a dream. i'd definitely paint my face for that. :D

    too bad I'm in denver now. we did make it to the two games last year. Battier almost single handedly won it for the Rox last year, that was a great game - we were dressed in red and at the lowest part of the upper deck enjoying every minute of it. really fun to be in the opponents arena and cheering against the whole of the opponents crowd.

    any Rox execs reading this? need to organize a group of rox fans to cheer the rox on in denver - i'll bring the face paint ;)

    Typical Rockets fan these days. Embarassing. If it weren't for rich "old white people," the Rockets would be playing in Louisville or Vegas. But I guess most of the people on here would prefer they play in Beijing anyways.

    Funny, but I have sat court side at a Rockets games before and even got autographs from the players. The catch was that it wasn't in Houston, I was in Dallas when they stunk during the three J's days, and I paid 350.00 for the tickets. I also watched the Rockets when I was visiting a friend in Minnesota two years back, couldn't get the actual court side, I was four rows back and paid 400.00 for those. Both times I just went to the window before the game and asked for the closest court side seat available.
