* The ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' episode "The Competition" has Jimmy snagging two tickets for an upcoming ''Runny and the Nosebleeds'' concert. Unable to decide whether he should bring [[FriendVersusLover Beezy or Heloise]] (who had been even more combative towards each other than usual), he makes a bet that whoever's nicer to the other will get the extra ticket, which [[GoneHorriblyWrong just results in the two trying to injure and even kill each other]] in comedic ways.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', [[TheHero Twilight Sparkle]] is invited to the "Grand Galloping Gala", an extremely popular exclusive event, and is given two tickets. The problem is she has ''five'' other friends who want to go, all with their own reasons and all of them start trying to butter up to Twilight for that extra slot. (The second ticket was all but stated to be for Spike, and he's not interested.) Eventually she breaks down from the stress and the others realize how hard they've pushed her and apologize. Twilight eventually decides to return both tickets in order to not have to pick favorites among her friends -- fortunately, the Princess makes everything better in the end and sends six tickets.

* One episode of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' did this with a GameShowAppearance - Will didn't want to choose between two of his friends (one of whom was Jazz) to accompany him on a teams-of-two quiz show, so he instead chose Carlton, as he was smarter than them. Somehow, both friends managed to be their opponents in the end.

* In one episode of ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'', Blanche wins three tickets to a party with several celebrities, among them Creator/BurtReynolds. Of course, there are ''four'' girls, so Sophia gets left out... until the other three are mistakenly arrested when some police officers break up a prostitution ring while they're out to dinner before the party. Sophia will only pay the bail money if one of the others gives up her ticket, which they are unwilling to do - so Sophia leaves them all in jail and goes to the party alone. The others think she's lying until Burt Reynolds arrives the next day to take his new friend to lunch.
* On ''Series/FullHouse'', DJ wins tickets for herself and one guest to enjoy a VIP experience with Music/TheBeachBoys. Naturally, everyone else in the family starts bending over backwards to try to curry favor. She plans to take Uncle Jesse, since he's a musician and she reasons it will mean the most to him, but everyone else is so disappointed that she's ready to just give up the passes entirely. Then the limo arrives - with the Beach Boys inside. When they hear the dilemma, the Boys huddle up for a moment before deciding that they'll just have to bring the entire Tanner family to the concert.
