    Quandry: Go all out front row or 22 rows up? 3k vs. 1500? DL Roadshow Rockets
    wife's bday is may 6, plan on treating her to game one seats, sullivan's steakhouse, and the four seasons for the night....

    should I drop $1500/seat for row 1 of sec 119 (actually four rows behind bench due to floor seats in sec 119a), or pay $650-750 per seat for row 22 in sec 119?

    would free up an additional $1500-2000 to gamble with in this weekend in Lake Charles at the Nugget if I went "on the cheap"....

    any thoughts?


    for the record, she'd lean towards saving $2k for her to blow on slots this weekend.....

    Donk I have been faced with this before at Portland warriors game went with the cheaper seats, still had a blast and enjoyed the action. Every time I can remember springing for the top dollar seats I have regretted it....cheaper seats usually decent take that extra and do it up at the casino.

            ain't nothin beats being there.....

            i'll say vaya condious to the coin to experience big moments live.....

            I was down the right field line, four rows up for this game:



            that moment was the absolute loudest i've ever heard a stadium....

            so loud you couldn't hear yourself screaming for joy......

            tv doesn't do moments like that justice.....

                  1500 for game tickets that is a really crazy amount of money for one game.
                  Do you buy these tickets 2nd hand or is this the regular price?

                    reg price for the 22 rows up tickets, play offs, are $375 a piece.... I didn't even get the front row of sec 119 prices, but probably not much more than $375, perhaps $425-450, maybe even the same price since technically they are the same section....

                    flash seats are direct sales from season ticket holders to buyers, no middlemen involved like with stubhub, etc.....

                    but yes, i'll probably wind up paying a 2x-3x premium for whichever seats I ultimately go with.....


                    shit, when i stop and think about it, I could probably buy her a set of hot blonde big-tittied bisexual twin working girls and a room for all of us at the Four Seasons for about the same price......

                          Auto go with section 120 right now u can get for 1200~ a seat and its dead centre. rows 10-15 would be the best i don't know if they are still available

                          The courtside your talking about are probably B thru D you won't get the first row of courts for $3,000 each.

                              119 row 1 is the first set of stadium seats behind the fold ups (of which there are 3 rows of).... essentially, four rows behind the bench.... had 4 for 1500 each last time i checked, and two for about the same price..... i'm leaning toward saving the coin and going twenty rows up from there..... 3 pm all remaining seats go on sale at normal prices, gonna call in at 259 to see if i can snag a pair of hidden treasures.... if not, i'll find em on the rocket's season ticket holder site where they're sold direct, and go with somthing in the $1000-$1500 range for two....

                              then again, i might get a wild hair and splurge on something a few rows behind the bench, so I can flip waves off and hold up a "BobbyWaves is GAY and a SCAM ARTIST" sign on national t.v...... no john 3:16 for me....

                                sure beats staging videos of me "ripping off" my elderly uncle in central florida and then blowing a few phony bucks from the heist on meth while I work at the glory hole at the rest stop off nearby I-75

                                  For once....JJ is spot on. Can't imagine wasting that kind of money on idiots who care more about the party afterwards than who wins the game.

                                  Donk, take that money and buy into a good WSOP tourney seat. That should bring you much more excitement.

                                    dammit, mpas talking common sense.....

                                    not making this decision any easier....

                                    meanwhile, I have what former fed chairman Alan Greenspan would call "irrational exuberance."

                                    but, understand, I have to get something for her birthday..... I can kill two birds with one stone with the rockets game/sullivan's steakhouse/four season stone.....

                                    she isn't going to be throating me any time soon if all she gets for her birthday is me playing a couple of $1,500.00 buyin braclet events at the WSOP in a couple of months.....

                                    it'll be as "dry" as the Sahara Desert around here.......

                                              well, you did admit, along with seeweed and that other fahg the giant, to staring at my crank for hours when I posted my 10,000th sbr post commeroative video, to see if it is real or not....

                                              as fascinated as my wife is by what I can do with that thing, even she has never stared at it for that long......

                                              get out your hand lotion and kleenex, JJ....:

                                                            so, i guess infractions only apply if the crank being posted is "oversized"?

                                                            and tiny schshorts that couldn't hurt a fly are ok?

                                                            where are the sbr forum lines drawn?

                                                            start with "no infraction" schshort:



                                                            then we jump to "major infraction" oversized schlong:




                                                            SBR, please tell us where the line is in posting schshort/schlong non-nude fully clothed photos is.....

                                                            we know JJ's schshort is harmless, but where is the line drawn between infraction/no infraction?

                                                            thanks for the insight,
