Program Introduction

Veteran Tickets Foundation offers two programs to build memories: Tickets for Troops and Hero’s Wish. Give Something to Those Who Gave Since 2008 Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) a 501(c)(3) nonprofit has provided tickets to events which reduce stress, strengthen family bonds, build life-long memories and encourage service members to stay engaged with local communities and American life. We support our troops by honoring their service and providing positive family and life experiences, during and after their years of service to our country.

Tickets for Troops Vet Tix provides tickets to all branches of currently-serving Military and Veterans, including immediate family of troops KIA. Vet Tix secures tickets to sporting events, concerts, performing arts and family activities across the nation. Vet Tixers sign up online. We verify their service. Vet Tixers request tickets to events that interest them, then pay a small delivery fee to receive their free tickets. 2 million tickets distributed since ,000 tickets in 2015 up from 429,000 in 2014

The Hero's Wish program allows deployed and severely- wounded members a one-time request for tickets to a special event.
