So, when Jason Kidd, and Kenyon Martin, and Richard Jefferson played for an OK Nets team, and I saw the coupon in a McDonalds and thought Hmmmm this might be a good family activity at a price point I can handle in order to see how I liked it...and that led me to purchase season tickets the year after (when coincidently they happened to be a great Nets team).. that it was the Nets giving away the product? I thought it was the Nets bringing in new fans and more fans, and giving an opportunity to "taste" the product.  And, for the record, all professional teams where I have lived do these promotions. 
Is giving inner city kids an opportunity to come with their team and parents to see something that they otherwise could not afford..is that giving away the product, or is it showing good will to the community? 
And if the fan is that indifferent, that they would rather rake leaves, then I think they are not sophisticated enough to realize that someone is giving away the product to the point where they would turn down a ticket. or never purchase one in the future. But maybe a free ticket would awaken something in that fan, and all of a sudden the leaves will wait until Sunday because Saturday is now game day.
The point is you can do both. But the dome is empty. Fill some of the seats and they will start coming. If they see on their TVs that fans are showing up it may catch on..
