Looking for tickets to the All Access

[Yankee_In_TX]

SOme of us tailgated for Draft Day (if sitting on TXDavid's tailgate with a beer count!)

[Da_General]

I'm not sure if I can get tickets or not, but I'll check into it when I get official info on the event. Actually, I haven't gotten any official info yet, so there may be a chance that WE won't even be there (the BPPB). IF I can get tickets, I will gladly donate them in a situation like this!

More info later this week, hopefully!

I also agree about the line situation last year, btw. And if I remember correctly, the folks that were in charge in marketing back then (most of them are gone now, but that's another topic entirely) were fully aware of it after the event, too. I'm willing to bet they have that situation at least somewhat rectified this year.

Us mountain goat herders make some noise up top, well!!

I didn't mean to make it sound as if the nosebleeds were bad. I mean I remember seeing Robin Leach at the 1994 NBA Finals and I was three rows closer than him in the nosebleeds. Great memories at many venues in the nosebleeds. In fact, I probably would prefer the nosebleeds over time. I love being able to see the whole field. Sitting up in the 600 level is NOT a bad view at Reliant. I love it. Now the Astrodome was a whole different thang.

Now two years ago, game six of the Houston Rockets win against the Dallas Mavericks, I bucked up and spent every last dime I had on a row 'A' courtside seat. People called me stupid. I couldn't afford it. Let me tell you right now, I'll never do it again but oh my gosh! What an unbelievable experience! Unforgettable. I will remember it until the day I die. Amazing.

This is about the same level that I'd put the bullpen in. It's an experience that I'm going to look forward to happening. I PMed the fellow who offered it up to me but haven't heard anything yet.

The "All Access" event just started last year...the story I've heard is that it was an idea brought over from Denver. It helps remind the loyal Season-Ticket holders that there are actually "perks" once in awhile. The lines were extremely long last year, and the placement seemed pretty random. While you may have gotten lucky and got the sig. of someone like Mario Williams or DeMeco Ryans, you might just as likely been stuck in a line for somebody on the Practice Squad (or worse).

Remember, we also get the privilege of paying full-price for pre-season games. There's no diff. in cost between a first week pre-season game OR a week 17 playoff-decider in terms of game ticket & parking pass.

I've got no trouble "giving back" (see above), if there's something I can't put to use due to scheduling. However, I spent the time & $$$ to become an original PSL / Season-Ticket holder, I'm not gonna feel too guilty about having benefits that the General Public doesn't.

Having the playoffs guaranteed and seats guaranteed is a great benefit anyway you look at it.

I realize that about the preseason games. That's definitely something that turns me off in regards to buying season tickets and something that probably warrants bringing attention to the executives.

You shouldn't feel guilty about having some extra benefits. I definitely get that. It's just the post of the person who stated that he'd hope that these 'spare tickets' don't fall in the hands of a non-season ticket holder. Limits are good but how far should they go is my concern.

I will probably have a couple extra tickets, but, won't know for sure until around Wed. I'll check back here then and see if anyone still needs a couple.

Well, TEXANSTAILGATER is first on the list with an unselfish cause and I'd be the second on the list for a selfish cause. Now, I'm not sure how many tickets TEXANSTAILGATER is looking for but it appears that person is looking for a bunch. I just want one for me. An extra so I can bring a friend is always nice but I'd be overjoyed with just one.

Personally, I have to admit that I love preseason games. Because: 1. There aren't that many of them; 2. Can't wait for the season to start; 3. You get to see guys play that might not get a chance.

[HardcoreTexan]

I just love being at the games again and well preseason is the earliest to get there

I hope you get a ticket from someone, I do. But I am VERY glad they send one ticket per season ticket. For those who are not season ticket holders, they get roughly the same experience on draft day (which is free). All Access is a little something extra for those with season tickets.

I never intended for my post to be a "give 'em here instead" kinda deal. I was gonna put up a post asking too, but got beat. I didn't want to post a duplicate thread either.

The sweetheart in my avatar would like to go too, but she said she'll skip it if it means one of the other kids gets to go. Thats all from her. She refuses to spend any money she earns but would give anyone every cent she had if she thought they needed it.

Just hopin' to do some good with some youngsters that could use a break.

Thanks For Considering It

P.S. 4 tix is all I could use as thats all the extra seatbelts we have in Ma's ride.

I have 5 season tickets in the Bullpen, I am ONE person. If my kids don't go I would like nothing more than to GIVE my extra tickets to a diehard TEXAN fan who either cannot afford season tickets, or does not have enough for his/her family. I understand that this is suppose to be an event for season ticket holders only, BUT, I will do everything I can to make sure ANY kid gets a ticket. Sometimes this is their only chance to interact with a TEXAN, and I would love to give them that chance. It should be my business who I give my tickets to. JMO!! Again, I will check back on Wed. Right now, I am 99% certain I will have two extra tickets.

I actually don't care WHO goes. I think there was an argument in here that tickets should be mailed out to season ticket holders AND the season ticket waitlist members.

As long as there's only one ticket per PSL mailed out by the Texans, I don't care who actually uses them. I hope that makes sense.

[SheTexan]

I didn't know they sent them out to waitlist people, I really didn't. I gave two of my tickets to a friend last year who was on the waitlist and wanted to go. I just want all my tickets to be used by good Texans fans!

[TexansLucky13]

If anyone has any extra tickets I would be more than happy to go!

[MYDAUGHTER'STEXANS]

Has anyone received thier tickets as of yet from the Texans?

That was my biggest issue with a fan in this thread. I read his/her post to read that he/she didn't feel that these tickets shouldn't fall in the hands of non-season ticket holders period. I completely understand where you're getting at and I cannot but concur with what you're saying. There should be a limit and that's definitely reasonable. I've been lucky enough to attend not one but two fan-fest days for the Houston Rockets and I enjoyed them immensely.

They didn't mail me any tickets and I'm on the waiting list. Should they be obligated to send me these tickets merely because I'm on the wait list? I'm not so sure about that. I haven't purchased anything yet and it IS just a waiting list even though a deposit was put down.

Absolutely am in the same boat as you are. I consider myself a true fan and would relish on anything Texans that I can get my hands on. My problem specifically with the preseason games is the cost involved. I'd be paying the big bucks to see the guys with the big contracts play and this is forced upon me with preseason games. Not exactly a positive selling point was what I was trying to get at.

Send me just one. For me. Two's great so I can take a friend but one will do it. I'm in Pasadena. *hint hint* SEND THEM MY WAY! Of course, after the lady with all the kids gets to pass it on by.

I haven't gotten any and I spoke with my ticket representative as Texans_Chick recommended that I do. From what I understand, I haven't been on the waiting list long enough in order to get these tickets. I'm taking that to mean that. I've been on it for six months now but whatever. I'm going to take it as to it meaning that nobody gets these tickets but actual season ticket holders. I am not one yet.
