As long as the gift of property can be used in the furtherance of the mission of the organization, yes. That applies to any property gift. The donation must either be used as is or be converted to cash to support your programs.
So, yes. Tickets to sporting events can be gifts; the donor is issued a GIK receipt (no dollar amount). Of course, there is no gift if the donor specifies a recipient (individual) to receive the tickets.

Does the IRS approve of giving a gift in kind tax receipt for tickets to sporting events? We have a company that wants to donate some of their season tickets as a raffle prize. I didn't see anything in the IRS 526 publication.
Thank you in advance!

It's from a state entity. No government donations are counted, period.
