    if they really want to go to the game that bad then they will find a way. I mean crap @tinman bought a ticket in oracle. those tickets cost a ton. def true fan type stuff right there.

    complaining about 59$ tickets and blaming the rockets organization for why you can't go to a playoff game is kind of lame. I think you should either watch the game on TV and don't complain or put your $ where your mouth is and go to the game

    Looks like OKC sold out both their games in less than 24 hours. Either that, or their website is broken. Only thing that shows tickets is when you click "Resale Tickets" option.

    STH benefits/perks have been reduced every year. The Rockets reduced the Sunday game price because they still have tickets available and did not have a sellout. The beginning price of $159 was just too high to begin, and in hopes of getting a sellout they lowered the prices. Glad I didn't buy extra tix at $159. If I had purchased additional tickets for $159 when first offered, and now see the lower price I'd be pi$$ed.

    Still a bunch of tickets for sale on Rockets website and Flashseats. People don't have any faith. WCF then next year 1st round and out the next turned a lot of people off. Then on top of that high ticket prices.

    Ticket prices are comparable to other elite teams. Also a free shirt. Do you want a shirt and a playoff ticket for 40$?

    You can't get tickets for $40. Willing to sell yours for $40? Stop being such an a$$. The Rockets did this to themselves. Maybe when they get out of the first round people will start to buy.

    Thats my point. My point is that 40 is an unreasonably low price that isnt realistic. If you dont want to buy $ no worries but dont call the rockets organization and houston fans out for it.

    If you wanna go then go. If not thats fine too. Just stop whining

    I actually checked OKC website and found upper level tickets for Friday April 21 in price range of $35-$75 (resale through Ticketmaster). Tickets for Sunday, April 23 in OKC still available through OKC venue sales. I was just curious.

    You could for $66, which isn't horrible. Clippers tickets are MUCH cheaper than Rockets though.

    I didn't have to pay for flight (Had a voucher) but still draining my savings to go to the game. Not that I had much, but if we want talent on the court I am more than willing to pay a little extra. I think even 9 years ago when I had season tickets in upper deck, they were around $35 a game. So i don't think $66 for cheapest is that high. I bought two for $66 each originally and then just sold those for face and upgraded to lower bowl. You only live once!

    Les is greedy ass owner. Houston is a bad basketball market and he wants to price gouge. I should probably stand on principles and not go, but I will end up going.
