Vet Tix is a nonprofit organization that gives free or discounted event tickets to Veterans and Active-Duty Military Personnel from all branches of the U.S. military.
Vet Tix gives back to those who have dedicated their lives to serving the nation. They offer tickets to events like sports games, concerts, and family activities. Through the “Tickets for Troops Program,” Vet Tix partners with sports teams, organizations, and ticket holders to provide free tickets. So far, they’ve distributed 18,770,800 event tickets to military personnel and their families across all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
Veterans can sign up on their website, verify their service, and request tickets for events they’re interested in, paying a small delivery fee. A lottery system ensures that everyone has a fair chance of receiving event tickets. Vet Tix also has a program called “Hero’s Wish,” which fulfills specific ticket requests for qualifying military personnel. Donors can contribute either by donating tickets or by making financial contributions to make these wishes come true.
