* guy has tickets to an event.
* guy would like to invite a female provider he knows [or maybe doesnt know??] to go w/ him to event.
* guy would like for the outing to be just that, an outing, no consulting, no obligations, and thus, no consulting fee that he has to pay.
* guy wants to know if there are women who would do this.
did i get that right duckman?
in my case, i wouldnt offer it to just any woman from eccie or elsewhere. i would need to have meet her BCD or in a social gathering. too many possible problems if i didnt know her. i would make clear it was a non-consulting encounter, just enjoying the event. i might suggest BCD after, maybe not.
if i had the tickets, i would just offer them.
if i was going to purchase the tickets, i might ask her to pay a part or buy beverages, etc. at the event. sometimes i pay for everything, and sometimes i split the costs.

I have also gone with another provider to the movies and to dinner. Each time she has offered to pay for herself. I had to fight with her over that, but I told her even if we are friends, I'm not going to let a female friend pay for anything. It was tough but she agreed. If it hadn't been for her I would have never seen "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." That's two hours of my like I'll never get back.
