Though the series will start Tuesday in Los Angeles if the Lakers win Sunday and in Denver if the Rockets advance, it is rare to sell tickets to a series while playing in another series. It is considered unheard of for an organization that does not need the playoff tickets as an incentive to put deposits on future season-ticket packages. The Lakers sell out every game and have the top gate in the NBA. “That’s called proactive marketing,” Rockets forward Shane Battier said. “Any good marketing manager would tell you to do it, right? I don’t really care what the marketing department of the Lakers has to say.”
Every Rocket should pitch in and buy 2 tickets each. Then pour champagne all over them after winning game 7.
while its not really a repost but I found this yesterday morning http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=169058 i wonder if someone at the chron read it and ran with it
the rockets sold tickets to game 7 against the jazz last year. I bought some and when i asked for my money back they wanted me to use it for a deposit on next year season tickets. I ended up getting a refund.
Well, all I want to say is... if we win game 7 tomorrow, the laker fans can keep those tickets to wipe their monkey ass.
