While the majority of the tickets are still finding their way into the hands of city employees and elected officials, the number going to private groups has jumped signficantly, from 55 in the second quarter of the year, to 357 in the third quarter.
The records represent the first time in decades that the recipients of thousands of free tickets - to Phillies, Eagles, 76ers and Flyers games, and more - have been closely monitored.
Under the Street administration, for instance, records were frequently hand-written and incomplete.
The new computer tracking results from a policy Nutter enacted in April to try to distribute the tickets more evenly, after years of winding up almost exclusively in the hands of those with political connections.
That doesn't mean the politically connected have lost out.
City Council members, for instance, have requested 306 tickets since the policy went into effect.
"Going to the mayor's box is still a big deal for me, to tell you the truth, but it's a really big deal to people who do things in the community, and that's who we give them away to," City Councilman Curtis Jones Jr. said. "So as many of them as I can request, I'm going to request, to let them feel 'a part' " of things.
Jones, Councilman Bill Green and Councilwoman Maria Quinoñez Sanchez - Council's newest members - account for more than a third of the tickets that Council requested from April through Sept. 30.
The Mayor's Office allows each council member to take all the tickets to a box once a year.
Three other council members - W. Wilson Goode Jr., Darrell Clarke and Frank DiCicco - asked for no tickets.
"Up until now, we haven't really had any great sports teams," Clarke quipped.
The records also show that of 1,173 total tickets requested since April, 342 went to city employees, many who are Nutter's senior aides.
