And the scaplers are buying them up as we speak.....
It is only four per account -- so if you have 10 tickets under one account, you can still only get four per game.

Give me a problem....any problem and I will be happy to blame Cowboy fan!

Lauren, that was my exact thought initially reading the new policy. Take JB and Hobie ... Each has had to meet up with me at Blue Crew for an extra ticket that I had. We couldn't meet up before Sunday.. WTF??
I also has these questions, since it has a bearing on my ability to watch future games, so I emailed the following to the feedback line. Do you think I will get a response?
While I understand the reasons behind this move, it does present problems for many fans. I occasionally get to attend the game through the good graces of a friend that has bought an extra season ticket for that purpose. It is usually impossible to meet before the game, so I meet him at his tailgate in the platinum lot, and pick up my ticket there. How am I going to be able to do this in the future? Are you now trying to imply that ticket holders cannot sell or give them away? Or that you want only season ticker holders there? Or maybe, just if you get a gracious gift from a friend then that friend has to be inconvienced to meet you before the game to give you a ticket? There has to be a better way. Maybe you could just check people in the lot after the game starts? That would accomplish what you are wanting to achieve in regards to the non-ticketed enjoying the gameday experience, without putting undue hardship on the fans that want to also attend the game that are beneficial of a friends generosity.
Looking forward to your response.

edit: I meant to add that it would also help get ticket holders into the game on-time, as they would not want to deal with the hassle.

Lee, that was pretty ****ing money!!!
Tickets can be emailed from the season ticket holder to other individuals.
You will get a response, they will tell you that your friend has the option of using the season ticket manager to email you the ticket .... and they charge the season ticket holder to forward them as well.
Thank you!
Is that from the ticket holder or the PSL holder? If you have 3 PSL's but only need two tickets now and decide to sell me your extra and I decide to gift a game ticket to a friend, will I be able to e-mail him that ticket or will I have to contact you and ask you to do it for me?
Please respond to my post after yours and answer for me if you can.
From the PSL holder only I believe.
That's kinda screwed up huh? In the scenario I posted above, where I decide to purchase someone's extra PSL, then I can not gift that ticket to a friend?
Wtf are all the scalpers going to do? Much less those generous souls that just want to help out a friend?
If you're the psl holder you can email the tickets, but if you're not the psl holder on the Texans psl account you cannot email the tickets. JB your friend would have to officially sell you the psl. Of course there is a fee for the transfer of the psl also.
In my mind, they are going to have a lot of problems with this, and may have a lot of empty seats as well.
I agree with the problems especially at the gates with people not having their tickets out and ready.
I don't think it will have a problem with fans in the seats, maybe late the first few games until the fans get use to the new procedure.
I just saw this on ABC 13 news. I saw them interview Texans Chick.
EVERYONE needs to rep her for openly calling Cowgirls fans idiots on the news. That was EPIC!
Hey you said *****. Glad to see that word back on the boards.I just saw this on ABC 13 news. I saw them interview Texans Chick.

Hey you said *****. Glad to see that word back on the boards.
I hope Texans_Chick puts the video in her blog for us out of town fans! I sure would love to see it.
I haven't seen it but they apologized for misspelling my last name. Ha.
I have no idea what small clip they used, but TV isn't subtle in their editing. I talked for a while but I'm sure they edited it down pretty tight. My point was that it is tone deaf to change this policy right after we dealt with jerky Cowboy fans.
My fuller point is written here:
"What do you think about the new tailgate policy? Me, not a fan."
They ended up interviewing me in the middle of dinner at Carrabbas. Between salad and main course. I hope the vid wasn't too terrible--I was sitting outside and had no idea I was going to be on TV so I didn't really do the TV hair/makeup thing.
It was only a matter of time...tailgating passes already showing up on eBay

First off all of you are comepletely over reacting, The Texans will have the blue shirts walk around and check the suspicious people and will probably walk around after the game starts and check people, You guys in the blue Crew need to can it and quit sending emails to the Texans, We will address this if we ever have a problem. The Squeaky wheels get the grease and we do not want any grease in the blue crew. If you have a problem getting into the blue Crew you Can call me and We will handle it, Stop sending emails about the Blue Crew I cannot be more clear on this we do not want any problems with the Blue Crew and the Texans Thank You
The emails wouldn't be about the Blue Crew.
It would be about a tailgate policy that is a huge over-reaction to the Cowboy game.
Point I am saying we wont even get asked about this as all of our tailgate has gone in since day one. JB you will not have a problem and if you do then you can ride with me into the lot. do not send them emails making them specifically look at you and the blue crew. Stephany you are doing alright I am just focusing on our Blue Crew members. This is not an overreaction to the Cowboy game it is a policy implemented last year that they never enforced. That being said a bunch of yahoos bought passes on stub hub and got there early and parked and did not follow the parking in the lines rules and that made them empliment the rule. I believe it was Yellow lot that got this going and all the Yellow Lot complaints for the disaster as they called it this past sunday. I do not believe the Platinum will feel anything from this policy, Just Saying

Dear Season Ticket Holder,
Thank you for your support. You have helped us to create one of the finest sporting experiences in the world, and we are working hard to maintain this standard of excellence for you.
This past weekend we had our largest crowd in franchise history. While we were disappointed with how the game turned out, we are proud of the tremendous crowd support and are appreciative of our great fans like you that made it happen. We also had some significant challenges last Sunday, including traffic, parking and fan behavior in our parking areas. These issues were due primarily to the large number of non-ticketed individuals in our stadium parking lots before, during and, especially, after the game.
Non-ticketed tailgating at Reliant Park on Texans game days has been a growing trend that has become increasingly problematic for us and we have heard complaints from many of our season ticket holders regarding the impact this is having on the quality of their game day experience. It has reached a point that we do not believe we can offer the world-class game day atmosphere you have come to expect from us if we allow this to continue. The tailgating environment we provide has been recognized as the best in the NFL and was established for the enjoyment of you and our other ticketed patrons. So, in order to ensure a great game day experience for you, we will implement the following policy:
All visitors to Reliant Park MUST have a game ticket or other team-issued credential to be on the Reliant Park grounds on Houston Texans home game days.
Please understand that this policy was created after careful study and is a necessary step in order for us to continue to provide you with the fun, festive and friendly environment you have come to expect from us in our parking lots on game day. For your convenience, we will offer a very limited number of tailgate access passes exclusively for season ticket holders at a cost of $10 per pass. For more complete information on this policy click here or to purchase a tailgate guest tickets please click here (Your Texans Account ID is *******).
Again, thank you for your outstanding support and we look forward to seeing you next Sunday when we take on the New York Giants at Reliant Stadium.
Best Regards,
Jamey Rootes
President
Tailgate Guest Ticket Policy Information
New Policy: The Houston Texans announced a new revision to their gameday ticket policy. Effective immediately the Houston Texans will require all fans who wish to enter Reliant Stadium or its parking lots to possess a gameday ticket.
Who’s affected: Non-ticketed guests, season ticket holders that bring guests to tailgate, season ticket holders that sell or give away their tickets and still plan to come to the game to tailgate.
Why the New Policy: Non-ticketed fans who arrive on property use facility resources otherwise designated for ticket holders, create additional unneeded traffic congestion, setup tailgates in parking spaces without parking passes, and require the services of EMT, Police, and Parking Staff that should be focused on improving the gameday experience of our fans who do have game tickets.
When it’s effective: The new policy is effective immediately and will begin to be enforced starting with the October 10th Home game against the New York Giants.
Where it is effective: All of Reliant Park property, including but not limited to all parking lots and the stadium.
What will happen to non-ticket fans: Any fan that does not have a gameday ticket will not be permitted to enter Reliant Park Property.
How will we enforce this policy: Fans who try to enter Reliant Park grounds on Houston Texans gamedays will be required to present a ticket upon request.
To Summarize, you must have either a game ticket or a tailgate guest ticket to enter and remain on Reliant Park grounds on gamedays.
What if a Season Ticket Holder would like to bring a guest to tailgate for a game? We will make available a tailgate guest ticket to season ticket holders for $10 per ticket per game, via their online season ticket account manager. There will be up to 2000 of these passes available for each game. Each season ticket holder will only be able to acquire up to 4 for any given game until the limit is reached.
Can a tailgate guest ticket be forwarded or reprinted? No. These tailgate guest tickets cannot be forwarded or reprinted. They must be treated like cash and will not be replaced for any reason.
Will the Season Ticket Holder be responsible for the actions of their tailgate guest ticket holder? Yes. The Season Ticket Holder who purchased the tailgate guest ticket will be held responsible for the actions of their guest. If a disturbance occurs the Season Ticket Holder will be subject to removal from the property, revocation of their season ticket and/or parking pass.
Does this tailgate guest ticket entitle me to setup a tailgate in a parking space? No. The tailgate guest ticket only allows you to remain on property without an accompanying game ticket. You will not be allowed to setup any materials or equipment in a parking space unless you have a parking pass.
In reading the email, it's apparent that this is just a shakedown for more money:
I clicked on "here" for complete information:
I am a little surprised by this. Obviously it was a respone to something as they would have implimented this for the first game if it was only for money. Maybe a combination of a couple things.
#1. How are they going to enforce this? How are you going to enforce this on the people it was designed to keep out?
#2. Why only 2000 passes? That sounds like a small amount to allow for tailgating.
TB, I know that's how it seems to a lot of people..but I do not read it as such. Anyway, until everyone goes thru it on the 10th, pi**ing and moaning about something that we have really no idea onhow it will turn out is a waste of time.. Let's just wait and see.. As for those going to meet someone for tickets, speculating does no good.. We all need to relax and just wait and see. If people have questions, just email them to the Texans.. they wil respond.
Wow, people pi** about the tailgating last week and now this..Let's let things settle down before we start pi**ing about this new policy.. It is a work in progress...
And I took you out of the doghouse yesterday for donating.. you are back in , I blame you for this firestorm as well... THANKS TB !!
I think I must not be getting the appeal of watching a game in the parking lot. It would never enter my mind to want to go down to Reliant Stadium on a Sunday without a ticket. If I'm going to watch the game on a TV it might as well be the one in my den.
How is JB or anyone else going to get my extra ticket? I do not own the PSL for this particular ticket, so I can't email it to him? It worked out okay for you, because you already had your other tickets and your parking pass. He has neither.
BTW, I always donate to Lindsay for "The Cure".

JB could walk to the fence and get his ticket, then go to the gate and granted access. It's a small inconvienience but it could work.
There lies another problem, who's to say others say close friends/family members meets up with someone at the fence and hands em their ticket to get in and continues the cycle? Then say personnel says no to that as well?
