Lol. Was a season ticket holder for 6 years. Price may or may not be different for a brand new person or someone who used to be a ticket holder.
I'm not a fan of the cloak & dagger method of selling seats that the Rockets are using now. They don't have set prices anymore, it's this weird sliding scale crap that factors in tenure. And the deposit stuff without knowing what you're getting is ludicrous. Buying Rockets season tickets feels like buying a mattress or a used car now. No bueno.
I don't see the point in paying for lower bowl seats over the upper deck seating. To me, there isn't much of a difference. The only really difference I see are court-side seats, which are certainly a step up since you can talk to the players. Being in the arena is fun regardless of where you sit. And I truly don't get the behind the basket seats. You basically get to watch half of the game. To me those are the worst seats in the house.
