    If you go to the box office, I think there are tickets available at face value.

    Thanks. Just ordered two tickets at the same section - section 219 at STUBHUB. Hope the transition will be completed soon.

    I'm trying to. My friend claims to be family friends with the Ratners and thinks she can get a box/courtside tickets. I am dubious but willing to be impressed if it is true! I will definetely be wearing all my rockets parafernalia. I think that would look quite funny if I did get courtside seats!

    I live on the Upper West Side btw.

    there is a bus from Port Authority that costs between 7 and 13 bucks...

    Im trying to get a ticket to that game onthe 12th as well...



    DONT WATCH SPORTS AT ESPN ZONE, it is a tourist trap...

    just find a sports bar and ask if they have league pass, most of them will play any game you request...

    blondies on the upper west (79th and bway) and upper east (93rd and second) will always be polite when you ask them...
    a few of us got together there two seasons ago, i met batman jones and rasselas there...

    i live in washington heights now...

    I am visiting Houston this Christmas-New Year. And I just took a look of tickets sale on Rox website. Seats are real expensive! No wonder they cannot sell it out! I expect things much cheaper down there.

    When will the Mac family pack come out? Would be nice to get on a deal like that during my stay. Does anyone know if either Jazz or GSW game will have that deal? Thanks.

    I am a rox fan in NJ and will be at Continental Airlines Arena to watch Rockets. Should be a better game than lastyear, as the Nets will be better.

    Another NYC Rocket fan here. Raised in Houston and always have been a Rockets fan. Park Avenue Country Club is a very good place to go. They have a lot of tables which is nice. I have been there for Texans and Horns games.

    I am planning on going to the Nets game with a group of 6 fellow Rockets fans.

    P.S. The NBA store on 52nd and 5th has this awesome Rockets t-shirt. It has "Rockets" spelled out in our latest font but on the back it has our 2 championship banners on it. I wear this t-shirt whenever I can while working out, etc.

    Another NYC Rockets fan. I'd be interested in getting a NYC Yahoo group together for a few games at a sports bar in Manhattan.

    We should definitely try and establish this Country Club place as a Rockets bar. I went to this one place, the Gin Mill where all the U of Florida alumni come together to watch football games and it was sick. Obviously we will never get that kind of craziness but it would be nice to have at least one bar where Rox fans in NYC know they can go to a) watch the Rockets and b) hang out with other Rockets fans.

    Hi I'm a Rockets fan in NYC. There is a bar on fourth street and second ave. that I can get to play the games. I occasionally cater for the viewings. If anyone has any other suggestions feel free to tell me. For anyone that wants to drink and watch the game though this bar might be the best place to do it.. Thursday-Saturday 9 pm to 1 am all you can drink Budweiser and Budlight draft for $10. I can have the bar make some Rocket Red Shots which is what they have been selling lately. Yes I have somewhat made it into a Houston sports fan bar. I got the Astros playoff games to play there and catered steaks and alot of other things for the occasion. Fun bar whether or not Rockets games are playing or not but for those interested they are definitely welcome to watch the games there with me. Contact New Yorker or just go to the bar and find me.
