It doesn't even have to take the form of money.


My dad's best friend was a big time lobbyist when I was a teenager. He had a briefcase with tickets to the best shows/games and best seats. For 3 years, I had tickets to anything I wanted. Red carpet seats at US Air for Bullets games, every concert that came to town - floor seats or very near the stage, etc. He always had extra tickets he hadn't given out on the Hill. Expensive tickets, obviously.
