> My company had season tickets to all the local teams, and also the symphony. The sales managers got to take top clients to the NFL and MLB games. The Marketing guys would take less favored clients to the MLS and NHL games.
> 
> And I, the young Finance Manager got to take whichever client wanted to go to the Symphony. I had to scare up a date for each one. As I wasn’t seeing anyone at the time, and not being all that flash socially, this quickly became a problem. So some female co-worker a who was interested in classical music was shanghaied into accompanying the clients with me.

> The gig included dinner at a very nice restaurant near the Opera House. I didn’t know or care about classical music when this started. Now my wife (guess who) and I have season tickets to the Symphony and Opera.

> A few years later, we found out this was a set up all along by her boss and mine.

Wow, that’s a good one! You should submit your story to Reader’s Digest or something 🙂

> That’s astonishing. Okay, it’s courtside tickets but that’s what you’d pay for Superbowl tickets and that’s a once-a-year event.

Not for the BEST Superbowl tickets on the 50 yard line though.

This [link](http://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/entertainment-articles/owns-lakers-courtside-seats/#!/) has some of the people who own the court side seats. I bet most of them write it off as a business expense.
