It turns out the Clinton campaign was behind getting Cuban that ticket, an anonymous aide told CNN.

The billionaire investor and Dallas Mavericks owner announced Thursday that he’ll be seated in the front row for the presidential debate Monday night, to be held at Hofstra University in NY.
Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has traded verbal jabs with Trump of late, and he’ll be front and center for what surely will be a fascinating scene at Hofstra University.
“He has the best seat we have access to”, the aide said. “He has proven to be singularly effective in making the case against Trump and for Clinton, that is why we invited him”. “But then he went off the reservation”. Trump has fired back, as Trump is known to do, and the fued came to a head last week when Cuban told Trump that, if he could have four hours to interview him, he would donate million to the charity of Trump’s choice.
Cuban also said that he had talked to Trump before he endorsed Clinton and urged the real estate mogul-turned-candidate that at some point he had to adapt and learn policy.
Cuban’s opinions on Trump in 2016 are a far cry from where they were a year ago.
“I would get to the heart of the matter”, Cuban said. He did digress, however, later, noting that as long as the Republican party remained socially conservative, he probably wouldn’t throw his hat in that ring.

As for Cuban’s presence at the debate, that could make for an interesting situation.
