Therefore, I was thinking that I could give him two tickets for him and a friend, but is that a weird thing to do since it's for OUR anniversary? We would still go out for dinner and everything and have a nice night with each other as our anniversary celebration, I was just wondering if it's weird to give him a gift that we wouldn't enjoy together.

 I think it's a weird gift for an anniversary. If it was his birthday, or you just wanted to give HIM a gift, then sure. BUt this isn't anyones birthday. I don't even see the need for gifts at an anniversary really? An anniversary is a celebration of how long you have been in a relationship, and would be somewhat pointless to celebrate alone. Have your nice dinner together, and leave gifts for him and his friends for his birthday or Christmas, when it can be all about him, and not about you as a couple.
Besides, you being the half of this couple, wouldn't it make sense to do something together that you BOTH enjoy, and not something only one part will truly enjoy?
Give a gift that is nice to you both as a couple... Something you can either do or enjoy together, because it's all about you as a couple, not you alone, or him alone.
You can give the gift of tickets if you want to, I am sure he will be happy. But I doubt he'll be thinking romantic thoughts of you while watching the game, so it won't be about your anniversary at all. Why not have individual gifts for birthdays instead? It's a good idea for a gift!
