Courtside Lakers Seat Moocher Unable To Mooch Anymore

While we’ve been to a few Laker games in our lifetime, we’ve never really been within spitting distance of either bench (ugh, that Elden Campbell really irked us sometimes back in the day). That’s because we’re obviously not Jack Nicholson, Denzel, Flea or, um, Dyan Cannon. Sucks to be us. But we’re not blood sucking leeches, either, which is precisely the category where Alex von Furstenberg–stepson of media mogul Barry Diller and real son of designer Diane von Fursternberg–belongs.
Diller, whose company owns Ticketmaster, has had to give young Alex courtside seats to the Lakers over CEOs and other celebs. But, oops, he’s out of luck now being that daddy had to sell his stake in Ticketmaster, and the fine folks at TM (please take our sarcasm heavy, with cream) couldn’t be happier.
I am an employee at Ticketmaster and there is one major reason that we are counting the days until we are spun off from Barry Diller’s IAC. Alex von Furstenberg. Barry Diller’s stepson demands front row seats to every Laker Game in LA. His request trumphs all other Laker ticket requests from our President, CEO, celebrities, or valuable clients. His sense of entitlement is far worse than people we like to give tix to like Jack Nicholson, and he hasn’t even done anything to earn it!
What makes it worse is when other Ticketmaster employees look at the court seats we give him (from their nosebleed seats), they are empty because he misses the game! He is the biggest spoilt brat on the West Coast.
Ugh, and we have to pick a side here? Where’s the nearest shower?
