However, if there's any explicit or implicit agreement (or even suggestion) regarding the gift in return, it becomes barter, which DL also forbids. You can only give tickets without the expectation of receiving anything in return, although transactions within a family are unlikely to be scrutinized. This is not to say that no one does this, but officially it is forbidden.
