T-Mobile outage in Houston causes issues for Rockets fans

A T-Mobile outage in Houston wreaked havoc on some Rockets fans prior to Game 5 of the team’s second-round playoff series against the Utah Jazz.

On Tuesday, T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray shared the news that a “major fiber” had been cut, which was impacting service in the Houston area for T-Mobile and metroPCS customers.

The timing was unfortunate because many fans in the Houston area use the digital ticket marketplace Flash Seats to purchase tickets for Rockets games. Due to the outage, many T-Mobile customers were unable to access tickets on their phones and had problems entering Toyota Center for the game.

The Rockets provided some advice to ensure entry into the arena.

The attendance early on for Tuesday’s game was a talking point on social media.

While the T-Mobile outage does not account for every empty seat that was spotted pregame and during the early portion of the game, it appears it did have an impact.
