The Interior Department will continue to receive free concert tickets -- worth hundreds of dollars per show -- when headliners like Sting and Tony Bennett perform at a National Park Service site, according to a new contract
released Friday.
The longstanding practice has come under scrutiny twice from the department's inspector general, which wrote last year the practice raises"ethical concerns." It estimated the value of the eight tickets per show averaged out to more than $500 per performance last season, or around $43,000 for the year. Top performers in this year's season include Ringo Starr, Sheryl Crow, Lenny Kravitz, The Beach Boys and Weird Al Yankovic.Greenwire was first to report the new contract.
