Practically, you would check with your management and then accept / reject the tickets. 

Since that option is not there, we can assume that expensive tickets are offered and expecting something in lieu.  Hence best option is to refuse the tickets and inform your management about the offer so that if some policy has to be created it can be done. 

this is what i tought also

Scordo says the answer is
C. Politely refuse the tickets.
