Giving Tickets to Clients: Fair Practice?

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Many companies in many different industries have purchased sports tickets, among other types of events, and use them as a way to woo existing and potential clients.  Is this an ethical practice?  While i haven’t come across a low prohibiting this, it does seem to me a bit shady.  For one, corporations have helped to drive up the price of tickets in general, and in addition hog up all the good seats.  If you look at a lot of the sporting events, the best seats are, for the most part, filled with suits, not real die hard fans.  In basketball they will be courtside, in football and baseball they will be occupying all the boxes.

If a company gives a potential client some tickets, it’s perfectly fine, but if a college gives a student a gift, they are penalized.  where’s the consistency??
