OT: Best place to find Pats-Texans tickets?

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

I live in southeast Texas and plan on making the trip up for my first home Patriots game for the season opener. When we saw the Astros would be in town playing the Red Sox that same weekend, my cousin and another friend and I decided it was the perfect time for me to finally catch my Pats at Gillette. I'm the Pats fan, my cousin a Texans fan and our friend a Cowboys fan, but we're all Astros fans and getting to see a game at Fenway is a must and the reason the trip is finally happening. Watching a game or two there and then catching the Pats is about the perfect sports weekend.

We checked out stubhub and the prices for the Texans game are obviously very pricy. Is there another site where prices might not be quite as bad, or does someone know of anybody looking to sell 3 seats?

We're going to spend a couple extra days in town to see some sites, so any suggestions for places we need to go while there would also be appreciated.

Boy, you picked a good weekend to attend. ‘Stros are looking tough again this year. Getting 3 seats together may be a bit more difficult than 2, but if you’re willing to pay the ridiculous prices on those sites, you’ll be okay.

You can also try SeatGeek and even the regular Ticketmaster site, which will offer up their “verified resale” seats. While you’re going to get screwed no matter what, at least you’ll have some other sites to compare prices. They usually say that waiting until the week of is the best option due to a belief that ticket prices drop before the game, but that’s nearly impossible to do when traveling from out of town, and I’m not even sure whether the logic would apply due to it being the opener.

Good luck and have fun. I’m jealous.

Thanks for the advice. Being the one Patriots fan going, the game obviously has more value to me, so I'm just hoping to limit the damage as much as I can with the ticket purchase.
