My sister's friends husband owns a construction company and he buys 4 platinum seats at the ACC each year. These are seats located right on the boards and they run him $250K per year. He gets tickets to all events at the ACC automatically. The problem is scalpers do the same thing, so even if an event like this get put on sale and there are 15K tickets available, only 8-10K actually go on sale. Its bullshit really, but that's MLSE for you.
