Pre-Game Performance

Minimum of 100 tickets @ $9 each (regularly $12)

The name says it all. Get your group of cheerleaders, dance team, gymnasts, band, little dribblers, or other entertaining group together to perform during “prime time” at Reliant Arena. Your group will take the floor thirty-minutes prior to tip-off and perform at center court under the bright lights.

Halftime Performance

Minimum of 150 tickets @ $9 each (regularly $12)

You got it… half time! Get your group of cheerleaders, dance team, gymnasts, band, little dribblers, or other entertaining group together to perform during “half time” at Reliant Arena. Your group will have 6-7 minutes to perform on the court at Reliant Arena. Be the group that provides the entertainment for the crowd during the half time break.

National Anthem

Minimum of 50 tickets @ $9 each (regularly $12)

The Houston Comets are searching for performers to help us show our national pride and patriotism before our players take the court. How cool would it be to sing or play the national anthem while standing at center court just before tip-off? Whether you're singing solo or performing with your church or school choir, this is your chance to do something other people can only dream about!

Ball Exchange Ceremony

Minimum of 100 tickets @ $9 each (regularly $12)

Just before the start of each Comets home game, the fans begin to cheer and all eyes are on the court as the starting five Comets players are announced. As each player is called, they rise to their feet from the bench and run forward with a WNBA ball in hand and present it to the kid(s) waiting on the court.

Play Where the Pros Play

Minimum of 200 tickets @ $16 each (regularly $22)

Your girls’ and/or boys’ basketball teams can play a scrimmage or regulation game against another school or AAU team on the actual Comets hardwood at Reliant Arena. The Play Where the Pros Play package includes, use of dressing rooms (one per team), full use of the court, and public address system. Each player participating will receive a Comets goodie bag (max 15 per team).

Shoot Around

Minimum of 50 tickets @ $16 each (regularly $22)

During the morning before every Comets home game the team goes through a light practice and shoot around. You and your group can sit in the stands to watch this private practice as Coach Thompson gives her game-day instructions to the team. This opportunity is available for all games that tip-off at 7:30 p.m. The Comets shoot around is from 11:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon.

Pre-Game Tunnel and Half-Time Tunnel

Minimum of 50 tickets for each tunnel time @ $10 each (regularly $12)

As the Comets take the court at the beginning of the game or when they return for the 2nd half, your group can be there cheering them on to victory. Twenty (20) people can participate in each of these opportunities. Your group will meet a Comets representative and be escorted down to the court to form the pre-game or half time tunnel.

Baseline Kids and Bench Warmers

Minimum of 50 tickets for each @ $10 each (regularly $12)

Want to see the Comets players up close? As a Baseline Kid, your team can sit along the baseline during the pre-game warm-ups as the Comets get warmed up for the game. As a Bench Warmer, your team can sit on the Comets actual benches they get ready to begin the game. A maximum of 10 people can participate in each of these opportunities. We ask that you not request autographs or pictures with the players as they are in “game mode” and trying to concentrate on the task at hand, winning! However, you are allowed to bring cameras to the floor and take your own snap shots of the team (no flash photography please).
