If, hypothetically speaking, I were a sponsor and I had spare tickets to an event that I didn't pay for or need and my intentions were truly altruistic, I'd return them to the event organiser so that they may distribute them (in line with my wishes of course).
I wouldn't post to a public mailing list advertising that I was a sponsor and looking for people to give away tickets to.
To be transparent, everyone is entitled to do with their tickets as they wish, and spend their money in whatever way they wish as is their right. This is simply what I would do.

Hi Llissa:
Thank you for your kind words.
As the Diamond sponsor and meeting host for the upcoming meetings, I intend to continue this initiative throughout the year for the next few meetings as well!
Please spread the word and let those in need know!
There are only two to three passes left, so please act quickly if you know someone might require assistance. :)
Thank you for your very generous offer for this very important community. I hope there are people on this list that take you up on it - very kind!
Hi
I am a capitalist and philanthropist who doesn’t believe in central distribution. So, no thanks.
I will give to the person in need myself.
And those passes aren’t “given”, I purchased them.
For those need help I still have few left, PM me.
Well said @Tom and Chris. Sounds like the right way to go about this.
Regards

Lu,
As
@Tom said, you'd be better off handing them back to your NANOG rep who can then allocate them to people who need it. They would be in the best position to allocate them where they may be needed, i.e. sponsoring someone to attend who otherwise may not have
the capacity to purchase a ticket.
Regards,
Christopher Hawker
If NANOG has given you meeting passes that you aren't using, the best thing to do would be to contact the NANOG staff member that gave them to you and let them know you no longer need them.
NANOG already has programs in place to assist students and others with meeting attendance.
Hi
I have a few passes for the upcoming NANOG meeting left, in which I would like to share with people who might need assistance to attend meetings(i.e students, academic or non profit), PM me if you are one of those people.
