  1. i guess what he did is really serious over there. Because it is common pratice here in the USA… to give tickets to your friends and family. Too bad he lost a good gigs…. Good gigs are hard to fine….. and you know the rest…

  2. They gave him the tickets to give to his friends and family. But he went and gave them to a third party (a marketing company and probably received payment), who then sent people out there to advertise their brand of beer (I think) at the game. That’s a no no.

  3. Errr…. didnt he have any friends or family to give the tickets too??
