+1. The concert tix are a form of love-bombing and he wants you to feel indebted to him so that you feel obliged to "give him a chance".

How is he crass? Isn’t he single?

It's crass to post pics of yourself looking all proud that you're next to women in bikinis. That's what a college kid does, or an immature tech bro, or an Epstein, or a Gaetz. Get my drift? Men with no respect for women.
It's doubly crass to try to get back together with an ex while having those pics up on social media.

Thank you! I think that’s what turned me off and made me think he wasn’t serious. I wish I could show you all the video - it’s just odd IMO to post anything with women that could be misinterpreted when you’re trying to get back together with someone. Plus, who takes a selfie video of themselves on a boat on the Potomac? It’s not like he’s in Santorini with beautiful scenery.

You are correct in that, OP. The red flag here isn’t being on a boat with women in bikinis. The red flag is that he doesn’t have the sense of how you, the woman he wants to try to reconcile with, might read this, and how others are reading this too. I’m in my early 40s but it doesn’t feel that long ago when I had to grapple with these kinds of questions too. If you’re asking yourself and DCUM why he didn’t have the wherewithal to ask himself about the optics or hasn’t done the introspection needed to restart this relationship on proper footing, then you have your answer.

I think it's not just his behavior when he is supposedly hoping to reconcile, but also the fact that he seems like a cheese ball.

So using social media like you’re supposed to (show off life/show having fun) makes you a cheese ball?

Yes.

Yikes!

Not a good look, OP.

He sounds like a man-child.

He’s reaching out because he hasn’t gotten laid. Hence the weird video using women as props.

Move. On.
