It's certainly common practice. My first footy game as a five year old in a corporate box, my dad was a farm hand for a big produce company. Everyone was allowed to put in for games and would get notified a week out if they got tickets. It's not illegal or corrupt for a business to spend money like this. But yes, you would hope workers were paid properly first and foremost.Avoiding paying these workers what they are worth, so wanna ticket to the footy .... not a good look for Hostplus, an industry fund.
