watch the 49ers. the question is that good city business or bad city ethics? >> tony is skroining us now. plenty of people on different sides of the fence if but the questions are rattling feathers. >> that's fair to say. uncomfortable and some don't want to talk about it. here's why. the mayor has asked the city's attorney to take a closer look. two supervisors said they could support ending the free ticket program. many are talking about this investigation. one city department wants nothing to do with the questions from the investigative unit. in san francisco, a win at the ballot box brings power, prestige and season tickets to the 49ers. privileges like parking passes and playoff passes. the mayor controls 12 tickets to his luxury box. the supervisors get two tickets a game. a fringe benefit they accepted this past season. across town, nobody attended more games than members of the park and rec commission mark bul. >> should the practice continue? >> i don't think it will because they are going to move to santa clara. but historically in santa claire, they have association with it. >> should unethical two decades ago be okay now. >> it doesn't make it okay since you have been dogging it a long time. >> the city's park and recs commission is criticized for accepting the ticket. >> they are attending every game free with a family member. a problem? >> a big problem. people

game. for the season, ten games, 26 box tickets, valued at more than $5,000. so how do supervisors bonilla and martin explain the decision to turn free tickets in to season tickets? we don't know. they declined our request for an on-camera interview and they are not the only ones not talking about the city's free ticket program. >> is mr. ginsberg available? >> reporter: after several calls and e-mails were not returned, we visited the office of ginsberg. on a second visit that day his staff agreed to an interview. >> thank you. >> scheduled for noon. >> see you tomorrow. >> he runs the city's rec and parks department controls his luxury box, hands out the ticket and his department manages the public accountability for the free tickets. remember that scheduled interview, a chance for gm ginsberg to explain his free ticket program? an hour before the meeting, ginsberg's team shut down the interview. a free ticket program with state mandated accountability to taxpayers. a program run by a general manager and directed by two commissioners who by all indication want nothing to do with public accountability. >> the citizens of san francisco, looking at this, will say this is not proper. >> so, season tickets to the rec and parks commission, we found one supervisor handing tickets out to his mother-in-law. others using their position to purchase hard to get nfc championship tickets. at city hall, pressure building as the mayor said he wants the san francisco city attorney to review the entire program. we are asking the question, just because it is politics as usual, should that continue? more to come. okay. thank you very much. >> mayor lee, interesting comments from him. our revamped investigative unit is the biggest in the country. if you have a tip let us
