I actually won basketball tickets from Coinbase as part of one of their promotions. I couldn't go because of travel, but even so, they were taxed and based on a price that was completely off market, so it was like I was buying them off Stubhub at a premium.....
Like they were 4 tickets valued at $1000. They were relatively standard lower level tickets in a major city (maybe in the corner) for a Saturday night game where tickets were around $100 each. If I took these, I'd owe regular income tax.... basically $100 per ticket.
Was very cool to win a big prize, then fully negated by the tax implication.
