Not sure I have ever seen a mention here, for VET-TIX. While it is something I don't use too much, I do see offer of free tickets to all sorts of events. For instance, they make concerts, comedy shows, college/pro sports - even NFL games available to veterans. Seems that tickets are made available because an event is expected to be less than capacity - or some sponsoring organization outright purchases tickets for Vet-Tix to distribute. You can only request/use tickets for yourself and immediate family - and if you get tickets, you must actually use them or risk banishment for a few months. And they cannot be sold, traded, etc..
This morning I got an e-mail, advising that tickets to the Seahawks-RAMS game, on Nov 3rd, when the Rams are in Seattle will be available. I put my name in that hat! Apparently, these (NFL tix) are on a lottery basis of first come first served, I think. (And I saw that there were tickets available for some of the Rams games at SoFi). We'll see. And, likely these would be in the nose bleed sections... but hey - free is a very good price.
We went to a Pentatonix concert last year - and the tickets were out in the weeds (literally, on the grassy knoll). However, since it wasn't sold out, we were offered the opportunity to move to real seats, after the warm-up singers had finished. Turns out it we landed in like the 12th row... So, ya never know how it'll end up.
If you are a veteran you can go to the Vet-Tix web site, https://www.vettix.org/ and sign up. I think you need a copy of your DD-214 discharge paper or one of those Id.ME accounts, to verify vet status. I can't recall exactly.
If you do sign up, you can use this Referral/Promo Code: 5400364, which is some sort of link to my account. It is not like I am compensated, but they do award valueless spiffs for referrals. No big deal if you bypass this...
If this is inappropriate - then just delete it. So far, Vet-Tix seems like a good organization to support veterans and their families.
