Hokie ClubAs one of just two public universities with a full-time Corps of Cadets, Virginia Tech has a rich military tradition. In recognition of that, the Virginia Tech athletics department proudly offers its Tickets for Troops initiative to honor the men and women who bravely serve this country.
With the goal of creating memorable experiences for this special group, the department continues its partnership with the Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix). Virginia Tech fans wishing to show their support for "Tickets for Troops," and send a military member to an upcoming home football game, may do so by donating tickets.
Donations may be made in $25 increments and all donations will be matched by Virginia Tech Athletics to cover the full cost of each ticket provided.
Tickets will be distributed to veterans and active duty service members and their families via VetTix.org. Those eligible to receive tickets are encouraged to click here to register.
About Vet Tix
The Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) is a national 501c3 nonprofit founded by veterans dedicated to support and honor the U.S. military community, veterans and their families. The Vet Tix mission is to provide tickets to sporting events, concerts, performing arts and family activities aimed at improving mental welfare and enriching the lives of military service members and veterans.
Attending Vet Tix events reduces stress through entertainment, strengthens family bonds, builds life-long memories and encourages service members to stay engaged with American life and local communities. These are gifts in which we can all take pride.
Vet Tix serves ALL branches of the U.S. military, including those currently serving, honorably discharged veterans and their families, as well as the immediate family of those killed in action. Since 2008, Vet Tix has given out more than two million tickets and is active in all 50 states.
