Secondary market tickets.
For the Paul McCartney concert at Allegiant, I asked for tickets close to last minute, but one casino immediately promised a couple in their suite. As we got closer to the concert, more came forward with offers of tickets, but I waved all but one casino off, thinking I'd give them away to friends who were supposed to be coming to town that weekend.
When the friends didn't materialize, I decided to sell the tickets. The tickets I was going to sell came in first, on the day of the event (this is the way casinos do it these days, have them emailed the day of event to your Ticketmaster or in this case Raiders app account), and I checked to see where they were located and they were good tickets but it didn't seem to me were in a suite.
I decided to create an account online with something like SeatGeek, StubHub, etc. and when the app advised me that those tickets were going for about two fifty, I posted them for a little less than that.
By the time the suite tickets from the other casino arrived, the tickets had sold, and apparently (looking at the email address) to a ticket broker. By then I realized that those tickets, too, were in a suite, the other casino's suite. The ticket app had rated my tickets as equivalent to others near there or on that level that were not in a suite, so that is probably why they sold so quickly - someone realized where they were and snapped them up, intending to resell.
I've done this before, sold event tickets for lots of money when didn't want to go, but never online via an app, just showed up at the event and scalpers offered so much money for what we had, such as for championship sporting events up to a thousand dollars per ticket, that we just pocketed the cash and left.
Selling them at the event is something that will happen more with your showing up with a buddy, than with the wife or girlfriend, of course, which is why the app selling is so great, it gets everything done without having to even attend.

Quote: WizardA non-forum member said that the apples do indeed fall on certain sections that tend to be priced more. I see they go on Ebay for $30-$40, although can't vouch they are the same.

It should be an option available when you buy your ticket. Apples or no apples.
Some people prefer to have no malus directed towards them at all.
