The guidance information say that anything more than minimal sums of
corporate hospitality counts as bribery. What it hasn't defined yet is
the
sum, but it very likely to be a total spend of under 100 pounds per head
and
certainly nowhere near 1000 for a ticket with food/drinks on top.

The sports will have to learn to cope!

And what about the reportedly 14,000 Olympic tickets which are being
distributed as government hospitality? (Boris alone has 2,000).

to give to local residents, not corporate suppliers

Some might live locally, but the impression given is that most of the
14,000 are for "VIPs" and people who apparently need to be 'impressed'.
Which sounds like hospitality to me.
