If you buy playoff tickets early, you can go for $40 each as I did twice last year. I saw the game on TV and it really pissed me off that those traitor fans were leaving early. You just know that in Utah if there were a few minutes left to play and their team was down their whole crowd would be on their feet urging their team on. Instead, we sit quietly or leave early!

I'm in total agreement with the first commenter. I'd love to be there for the playoffs, but the tickets are just outrageously expensive. I got an email announcing "last minute tickets" for the Saturday night game, so I immediately went to check it out. The cheapest option was $130 per ticket! I'm sorry Rockets, but I can't shell out $260+ for my boyfriend and me to go to a single game...

How is it possible that a city with several million folks cannot find 20,000 people willing to attend a playoff game? Don't confuse "willing" with "able." Have you seen the prices for these tickets? They knocked the real fans out of the box. I'm "willing," so please send free ticket information to my e-mail address in my profile. I'm wondering, while you're quick to judge the rest of your fellow Houstonians did you actually pay for your tickets or were they freebies?
