    What is the most everyone is willing to pay? $20? $30? We can probably get downstairs for $25 but upstairs will be much less. Does it matter to anyone?

    I'm discussing it with the Rockets today so feedback is helpful. Thanks!

    sounds like you are talking about lower prom behind the basket. imo, looking through the backboard is the worst view in the stadium. everything in upper prom is a good view.

    heypartner: I tend to agree with you on this one, but we'll let the majority decide.

    Yeah, I'd rather be closer to the half court stripe and a little higher up than lower but behind a backboard.

    show how they support the fans that support
    them . . .

    Looks like we are closing in on 50 based on the number of emails I've gotten from Save Our Rockets people who want to go. Should be one hell of a party!!!

    I've sent the info off to the Rockets. We'll see what they can do.

    Cheaper is better for me. $13 sounds good. But if we pay more (I could do the $26 range too), I'd rather move towards the middle than move down. I'm not really interested in sitting behind the backboard even if it's close.

    HOOP-T, I'm unemployed and living off of my wife. You'll have to ask her for ticket money. [​IMG]

    Darkhorse, you've been to both the Summitt and the Delta Ctr. In the Delta Ctr it's imperative that you get lower level seats. Is it the same in the Summitt, since it appears that the angle is way more gradual (and you're not looking straight down from 1000')?

    I think in this case the upper prom is a lot like the Delta Center, but not quite as big. The Summitt is a smaller building. So in my opinion, you feel a little closer to the court at the Summitt than the Delta Center.

    On the other hand, the Delta Center is a nicer building. And when HP says that the seat behind the basket are crap, he's not kidding. In this regard, the Delta Center is much nicer.

    So if it comes down to spending more money on inferior seats, it's not worth it. Much better in my opinion to go with the upper seats....
