Ha. Had that similar situation at the 1996 F4 in the Meadowlands. Was VERY lucky that I got the tix that my company had the rights to due to them having a box. I got all 6 that they were allowed. That year, if you got tix like that through SU, you had to get the "package" which included staying at the SU hotel (Hyatt Regency). Anyways, the seats were side court about 18 rows behind the SU bench. Many of us had seen tix were going for outrageous amounts in the papers. Figured since it was the NYC area, companies and execs didn't care what they paid.
 
Anyways, in the hotel lobby we saw a lot of scalpers with a lot of money including a couple guys with gym bags full of cash. Out of curiosity I asked one of them how much they would pay for my 6 tix. After I told them the location, they said $8K each or $48K total. $48,000 freakin dollars! Of course we considered selling them and just buying anything to get us into the semi's even upstairs then buy finals from the losers even if it was a couple thousand and we would have still banked a lot of money.
 
BUT, my concern was that they were my companies tickets. I loved my job and loved my salary. I feared that if they ever found out I scalped their tickets that I might lose my job. So...I wussed out. To this day I wonder if I made the right choice. $48,000......:(
