Basketball tickets

If it were a sold out playoff game riggt behind the bench it is possible.

my guess is a scalper saw he was a gullible wimp and took advantage of him :)

not right next to the court in a big game 5 tickets would cost a few grand

He bought them from a scalper. Chances are that it was $18,000 for all 5 tickets he bought.

I've seen playoff tickets go for 20 grand for just one courtside seat. So yeah, it would be easy for 5 tickets a few rows up at a playoff game to be 18 grand.

Hell, I easily spend $50 for a balcony seat at a regular season game, NBA or NHL, for teams that have no chance that year of being in the playoffs.

And a ticket for the section behind home plate at a regular season Yankees game is something like $2500.

He bought the tickets from a scalper, meaning he wasn't paying regular price. When you buy from a scalper, they set the price. Normally, nobody would be stupid enough to pay 18 grand, but Brad was desperate to outdo Dusty. So he stupidly paid it.

Best part was brad was nice enough to buy dusty a ticket too which wouldn't have happened if it were real life.
