Entering gifts of $0??

As someone mentioned you could create a comp attendee level.  You cannot enter a $0 contribution, but on the Events tab in a constituent record, you can add an event to a patron and select a source, and level.  Since  there is no fund associated with this entry, it isn’t hitting the GLs and won’t mess with your financials or other reports.  I haven’t used this, so I don’t know if there’s some hidden gotcha doing it this way, but it might be an option.

We are offering complimentary tickets to our annual gala event and I would like to show these in their contributions for accurate tracking. Is it possible or a good idea to enter a $0 gift with a special source code to track comp guests? Is there another way I should be entering this data?
