And I should give this to you because...???

I am a sometimes-concert promoter.
Sometimes because I only do it ocassionally.
This year, in May, I have 4 shows with Roger Hodgson, former lead singer for Supertramp, and 3 are sold out (yipee!). The 4th is on its way to being sold out, which means after all is said and done, 12000 people will see his show over the 4 nights.
Needless to say, when a "hot ticket" concert comes along, the promoter usually gets all kinds of requests for free tickets from people they know and people they don't know. It's all part of the game.
Usually a certain amount of tickets are blocked from public sale in order to do promotions, radio giveaways and the like, and yes, some tickets are given to friends and family. That's one of the perks of being the woman in charge.
I was recently asked to give tickets to someone and it's got me a little peeved. A little background is in order...
Mr. Hodgson appeared on Quebec's very popular version of the American Idol show - you know the routine... young people compete against one another for the chance to be named "fill in the blank" winner and hopes to go on to fame and fortune in the music industry.
As a thank-you to the people in charge of this TV program, I set aside a certain number of tickets for their use. I don't care who uses the tickets.
But I got a request from someone in charge that I give 6 front row seats to a man who has nothing to do with the production of said TV show. He is a prominent, high-ranking executive with another company associated with this TV program, but that had nothing to do with the actual production.
This guy probably makes more in a year than I could ever hope to make in my entire career and he's asking me for free tickets.
It puts me in a pretty delicate situation.
What I really want to say to this person is "And I should give this to you because...????"
