The phrase refers to the permission documents granting entry to the fourth contest in a championship series between the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks. These documents are a form of credential allowing the holder to occupy a specific seat within the venue hosting the event.
Possessing valid credentials allows individuals to witness a significant event, often a culmination of a season’s worth of competition. Historically, these documents have become increasingly valuable and sought after, representing not only access to the event but also a tangible memento. Their acquisition provides an opportunity to participate in a shared cultural experience with a large audience.
