In case you aren’t familiar, Vet Tix is a nonprofit that provides free event tickets to sporting events, concerts, performing arts, and family activities to give back to veterans, current military and first responders who serve the country.
For more details and how veterans/military/first responders can secure tickets:
- Tickets will be available starting with the second match played in the U.S., spanning all stages of the tournament through the final.
- 250 tickets will be specifically set aside for U.S. Men's National Team matches.
- Bank of America will contribute $2 million to Vet Tix to support the purchase and distribution of tickets, with Vet Tix contributing an additional $250,000.
- To be eligible for the tickets, honorably discharged veterans and currently serving military members can sign up for an account at vettix.org. Current and retired first responders (including law enforcement, fire, EMS, registered nurses, and 911 dispatchers) can register at 1sttix.org.
