A cool $2,000 gets you courtside for hoops, Walker fundraiser

The two biggest games in town – sports and politics – come together tonight when a candidate for governor has a high-priced fundraiser at the Wisconsin-Ohio State basketball game at the Kohl Center.

Two ticket holders donated eight center-court tickets to the Scott Walker campaign, which then offered seven of them for two different donations. Courtside seats were given for a $2,000-per-ticket donation and a $1,000 donation earned a ticket on the arena’s second level. The tickets were offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

The candidate is expected to occupy the eighth center-court seat.
