In those situations, I’ve always paid for my ticket and food/drink. I’ve never presumed the person asking if I want to go someplace is offering to pay my way.
You should not presume he’ll pay your way or ask him to do so - he did disclose the ticket price up front so that’s a clear sign he expects you to pay your way.
I’ll go if I have an interest in the event and/or spending time with that person and if I can afford it. You should consider following those same guidelines.
Editing to add: Do NOT invite anyone else to go along.
This, exactly. OP, why would he buy you a game ticket and food on his birthday? That makes no sense.
He said that tickets �� are about 50 bucks but there’s a free bobble head. I was wondering if I should ask him to pay for my food and drinks and ticket since he’s the one inviting me. Maybe I’ll pay for parking just to help him out. What do you think? Should I offer to pay for something? He did invite me so do you think it’s safe to assume he should pay for me? I think that the food is overpriced so should I sneak in my own food and eat before hand? Or is it okay if he pays?
Plus it’s his birthday, he’s the one who came up with this idea. Would it be too much if I also brought my cousin and asked him to cover?
Are you kidding?
If he told you the tickets are $50, I think he expects you to pay your own way. If he OFFERS to pay, fine. It would be really rude for you to ask him to pay, and beyond rude for you to ask him to pay for another person.

This isn't a straight question: OP is obsessing and has crafted a "set-up" post for us based on his anger and irritation about people's opinion about fees for his family reunion and the freak-out flurry of comments he posted last night on the thread about the guy with the $50 fee to attend his birthday party.
Einhander, you're going to get yourself thrown out of here, if not just ending up with another locked thread.

Don't be "Freddie the Freeloader." If money is an issue for you, kindly decline the invite.

Good catch... I hadn't been following those other threads.
