That's a very nice idea and yes, you certainly can provide free tickets to families in need. One way to handle this would be to give an amount of money to the principal to help those who need assistance. That way he makes the choices -- there's no concern about confidential information being received by the PTO (ie who is suffering financial hardship) and there's no conflict if a PTO family needs the help. You can also use this same model to set up a small fund so the principal has the means to help needy families throughout the year at his discretion.
