KOB-TV.com - Bernalillo county Sheriff Dan Houston may soon launch an investigation into county commissioners getting free concert tickets at the Hard Rock Pavilion. The Sheriff's spokesperson confirmed Sheriff Houston has met with the district attorney to talk about the free tickets on Tuesday. For years the county received a dozen free concert tickets for events at what is
now known as the Hard Rock Pavilion. The Commissioners said that more than a year ago there was an unwritten handshake deal for 20 more tickets and premier seating in a high priced box. Commissioner Wayne Johnson was not in office when the free tickets were given out, but believed the sheriff's office should investigate because there are a lot of unanswered questions about the tickets. "Who's getting them and why were they getting them? Was there a quid pro quo? Was there some sort of deal cut here?" asked Commissioner Johnson. "An investigation or any attempt to get the right information out to people so they can make up their minds is crucial to the proper functioning of county government." The land at the Pavilion belongs to the state and the county owns the amphitheater but it's subleased to live nation for concerts. Commissioner Maggie Stebbins put an end to free tickets in March.
