This is a game I need to go to, but the only way to pay for the tickets is to pawn my wife's ring.
Do you think that she will be upset that her ring is gone?
Yes, I do, but she doesn't care about the game.
You should find something else to sell then! It is wrong to pawn your partner's possessions even if they are ones that you had given her.
It's not a big deal since both of us are into sports and it's just a game.
If it's just a game, then you shouldn't pawn something to go to it. You can plan a day to see the game at a bar and have a fun time there and stay in your budget.
