    Need Help- Finding Tickets to Sold Out Houston Rockets Game?

    Mox commented how he wished he could go to the Rockets game against Utah this weekend, and we have enough money stashed that we can do it before I start working again and stuff.

    It's sold out (as you are able to gather from my title), and I'm looking at tickets on one of those ticket selling places. (www.ticketsnow.com)

    Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone has a recommended place or one to not buy from because you've had a bad experience. I've never done this before, so a push in the right direction will be just great!

    Thanks! Oh...and go Rockets!

    Rockets in the buildin


    I think it's going to be pretty hard for you to score a set of seats this close to playoff opening day, but if I were you, I'd try craigslist and find someone who is willing to meet up locally. You'll pay out of your a** (pardon my French) either way, but I think you already know this.

    I had several good experiences selling tickets on craigslist back when I lived back West...just make sure you call up the seller and meet in a safe and neutral place. Or you could always just camp outside 2 hours or so before tipoff...there's always a few peeps out there trying to make a last-minute killing on some nose bleed seats...

    Try Ebay. That's where I buy all of my hard to find tickets. You should be able to find someone willing to meet you with the tickets.

    Be prepared to pay though. Just type in Houston vs Utah tickets and stuff will come up.

    I know it'll be expensive, but Mox has been really putting in the hours at work lately. He really deserves to go, and I just wanted to see if we could.

    Nope, but we'll be down that way this weekend!

    I got tickets that (according to Toyota Center's website) usually cost $40/each for $98 (for both) after fees and overnight shipping. Someone was scared they wouldn't sell their tickets, I guess.

    So...yay! We're going to the Rockets game!



    Oh...and LJ...I looked at Stub Hub, but they didn't have much in the way of cheaper seats, and it wasn't important to be front row or anything. I just wanted something comparable to the last time we went.

    Congrats on finding tickets! I somehow feel obligated to throw in a "GO UTAH" quote or something, but I really hate the Jazz. So Rockets, kick our asses
    I believe you Dottie and you have my support

    Whoah, you scored playoff seats for 40 bucks each? DAMN. I don't care if those are nosebleed tickets for a regular season Grizzlies game, that's a good price! I'm kinda pissed the Knicks didn't make it this year (damn Isaiah), but best believe my boy Marburry is gonna lead em back in 2008

    Have fun though, and say wassup to my azn homeboy Yao for me lol

    Just saw your response... Maybe next round when they play Dallas as I just gave mine away as I am tired from being up in the northwest.. Look forward to next series, and of course you could bring some friends..

    These are the two most equally matched teams in the playoffs, so it should be a great series. I DO like the Jazz, so naturally I hope the jazz win. BUT, I would really like to see one or the other of these teams go all the way and defeat the teams that think they are so great.

    Jazz in seven.

    Man...even though the Rockets played like total crap the first half, it was such a good game! We had the best time, and I spilled beer on the guy sitting in front of me by accident...yeah, embarrassing!

    We had so much fun, though! I hope they'll make it to the next round so we can go again. It was too awesome!
