annelilucas Asked:

Could somebody possibly point me in the direction of any theories
about how Bagman managed to get so many tickets for Arthur Weasley in
the top box?  Arthur says something about getting his brother off the
hook with some minor offence, but I don't really buy that.
Then do you suppose maybe that the tickets came in an envelope 
labeled Harry Potter and Guests, and that was the only way they 
could justify that many tickets? ...edited....

Remember at this time, Voldemort is not back and Harry isn't a lying
attention seeking maniac. He is still the darling of the wizard world,
and as such, it politically advantageous to be associated with the boy
who saved the wizard world. <snip>
In addition, I have always believe that at the highest levels of
government, it was known that Harry still had a critically important
role to play in future events. So, behind the scenes, the wizard world
in general, but more importantly, those 'in the know' are very
protective of Harry. <snip>

> So to Annelilucas' original questions, there is a one word answer;
HARRY.

Carol:
Although I agree with Steve (bboy), I'd like to add that Ludo Bagman
was one of the people in charge of the event. He wasn't paying for the
tickets out of his own pocket (or paying for them with borrowed goblin
gold). He simply had access to the tickets and took advantage of that
fact--for Harry's sake as much as Mr. Weasley's, no doubt.
