What's wrong with giving out some free tickets to low income members of the community?

Nothing in theory, but ticket sellers probably don’t want to get into the means-testing business.
You can't hand out money (which you're doing if you're giving away something of market value for nothing) without taking on the responsibility of deciding who gets it. Even charities have to put in the work.
You can if you just DGAF, like TM. Reminded of this sketch:
