A plot in which a character wins or otherwise acquires, say, only two concert tickets instead of three when they have two friends, family members, what-have-you. The characters friends, family members etc. then spend the rest of the episode in a buttering up competition trying to win over the character with the tickets into taking THEM to the event. I've seen this plot in too many shows but am unable to find anything about it on the wiki. Basically, a brown nosing contest.
Anyone?
