Astros Ticket Sales

We were very pleased to see the enthusiasm surrounding the opening of Enron
Field yesterday as tickets to the first four games at the ballpark went on
sale to employees. Unfortunately, Enron was only able to obtain a very
limited number of tickets from the Astros to these games, and as expected,
tickets sold out very quickly. Therefore, no tickets are available for sale
going forward.

We appreciate the feedback, both positive and negative, that some of you have
shared regarding the opportunity provided employees to purchase tickets and
the process by which the tickets were sold. We recognize that no method for
selling such a limited supply of tickets would be without room for
improvement. The process was devised to allow the majority of employees a
fair and reasonable opportunity to secure tickets through Enron for one of
these first four games. While careful consideration was given to
establishing a lottery system, direct sales were selected because of the
magnitude of logistical issues surrounding a lottery of this scale and scope.

We established the 11am - 1pm time frame so that most employees could
purchase tickets over their lunch hour, rather than during business hours.
Much to our dismay, some employees began forming lines as early as 9:00am.
By 10:00am, the crowd was so large that it presented a safety hazard within
the building. We began issuing flyers for tickets at 10:30am and selling
tickets at 10:45am at my direction to eliminate any safety concerns.

Considering the demand for these tickets throughout the City of Houston and
Southeast Texas, it is truly a benefit that Enron employees were provided a
special opportunity to purchase these tickets. We regret that Enron does
not have a larger number of tickets for these games to offer employees and
that so many were disappointed. We hope to be able to give away tickets to
some of these games through special promotions, as well as provide
opportunities to purchase tickets to other games throughout the inaugural
season at Enron Field.

Tickets for all 84 home games are available through Ticketmaster outlets,
including Houston-area Foley's, Fiesta and Kroger stores. Those who wish to
order by phone can call (713) 6-ASTROS. Tickets are also accessible on-line
at www.astros.com and www.ticketmaster.com.

Thanks again for your enthusiasm surrounding Enron Field.
