Sometimes ‘courtside’ doesn’t go too well, and that was the case for Hollywood actor Russell Crowe in the preparation game between Australia and the United States on Thursday evening, a week ahead of China’s FIBA World Cup.
Crowe severely criticized the organization of the game with the following tweet:
$1500 a ticket for this view. AUS v USA .
Jokes on me.
If you weren’t among 50,000 there and you chose to watch it on tv at home, good decision . pic.twitter.com/VlNuXWp6iI— Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) August 22, 2019
As another tweet shows, the seating was far from convenient for people in attendance to see.
Lots of talk already about the view from ground level at Marvel Stadium where ticket holders paid hundreds of dollars to see #BoomersUSA. This is the view… https://t.co/KUpXuYFahM pic.twitter.com/m8Zh3mMPxa
