Indirect Object Pronoun < "le" con "a él" >

I cannot understand the following sentence:
"Le dio el boleto a él."
I have learned that "le" means "to him" or "to her" and "a él" also means "to him". But the thing is why do they use them in the same sentence? Is it wrong or is there a grammer rule about that? Muchas gracias!

JC has given you a great answer and as you mentioned 'le' can mean a number of things so the 'a él' etc clarifies.
Le dio el boleto. Could mean, to him, to her or to you so often you will want that extra clarification.

All that is necessary is: Le dio el boleto.
a él is only for clarification or emphasis, but we commonly include this participle even if it is not needed, so it is correct.
