It&#x27;s not obvious they sold for a higher price, they may have used them or never had them. But the real problem is proving an actual loss. There was a contract to exchange X tickets for Y money. Nothing changed hands, the buyer didn&#x27;t lose anything, there aren&#x27;t any damages to sue for.<p>Obviously they could try a cause of action for lost opportunity to profit from the transaction from legal standpoint, but it&#x27;s much harder to claim losses from hypothetical things that never happened than to unwind an actual transaction.<p>What if Kobe was injured and the price of the tickets plummeted for example? It&#x27;s a stretch to argue that the buyer lost something tangible by relying on the sellers performance of the contract.
