Free ticketing service is a thank-you to our military and first responders…
We all understand the importance of relaxation and recreation for mental and physical health. This is especially true for men and women of the military and their loved ones. The Veteran Tickets Foundation (501c3), aka Vet Tix, is a charitable organization that provides live entertainment opportunities for these special individuals.
“Vet Tix provides tickets to events, which reduces stress, strengthens family bonds, builds life-long memories, and encourages service members and veterans 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.”
“Vet Tix secures tickets to sporting events, concerts, performing arts, educational, and family activities across the nation. VetTixers sign up online. We verify their service. VetTixers request tickets to events that interest them, then pay a small delivery fee to receive their free tickets.”
Entertainers and event organizers who support our veterans offer seats to Vet Tix at no charge. They, in turn, distribute the donated seats to registered members. A small delivery fee enables Vet Tix to operate efficiently and transparently. Independent agencies have audited the charity organization for the last fifteen years.
So far, nearly thirty million tickets have been distributed throughout the fifty states. The Las Vegas branch has received donations for members to attend Cirque du Soleil, AWAKENING, Delirious Comedy Club, House of Magic, Penzoil 400, Vegas Golden Knights, Metallica‘s world tour, Beyonce via Live Nation, and many more.
Entertainers and productions offer seats willingly and at no cost. So, please consider supporting and patronizing these entities when shopping for a night out. Here is a partial list of those in Las Vegas who support Vet Tix:

Another service from the Veteran Tickets Foundation is Hero’s Wish:
“Hero’s Wish allows members who meet certain criteria to request specific tickets for any single event (NOTE: We are not capable of fulfilling meet and greets, trips, cruises, hotel stays or flights), and have donors fulfill that request either by ticket donation or by donating money to make the hero’s wish come true.”
“After submitting a Hero’s Wish, Vet Tix will work with the veteran to verify that the Hero’s Wish requirements are met. If all criteria are met, a member of the Hero’s Wish will be assigned to facilitate their wish fulfillment. Veteran Tickets Foundation does not discriminate based on race, religion, sex, or social status.”
Those wishing to apply…or help fulfill a hero’s dream…should follow this link. To learn more about Vet Tix, donate tickets or funds, volunteer, or purchase Vet Tix fundraising merchandise, visit the official website.
