Vets And Service Members Can Attend These 11 Major Events For Free In August

Vet Tix has tickets to 11 major events around the US in August for veterans, service members, and their families.


Want to go to a major league baseball game? How about a country music concert? What about taking your kids to a monster truck show? Do you want to go for free?

Every week, in cities across the United States, tens of thousands of tickets are available to veterans, service members, and family members of those killed in action, enabling them go to major sports games, touring concerts, and a whole host of other ticketed events. And all the tickets are free, except for a very small delivery fee.




The opportunity exists because of our commitment at the Veteran Tickets Foundation, Vet Tix, to help put veterans and service members (including Reserve and Guard) in empty seats at games and events across the nation.

Vet Tix, a national nonprofit organization, came about at the 2008 Super Bowl in Arizona, when founder and CEO Michael Focareto, a Navy veteran attending the game, learned that the members of the military color guard were not provided seats to watch, even as he sat next to an empty seat.

Today, Vet Tix works with sports teams, entertainers, donors and venues to distribute unused tickets to honorably discharged veterans and military personnel who have signed up for free to be Vet Tix members after having their service verified through official military records. Since 2008, we’ve had the pleasure to distribute more than 2 million free tickets to over 400,000 Vet Tixers.

Below are 11 of the major events we are currently distributing tickets for in August, just some of the hundreds of events available at VetTix.org. Every event included on this list has at least 100 donated tickets available for our veteran and military members.
