Thank You Messages To Veteran Tickets Foundation Donors

VetTixer Feedback!!

Thank you so much #Vettix And especially Messina Touring Group , LLC for donating the Ed Sheeran Tour Tickets ! As. USN Vet having served 6 yrs as well as Mother Of Veteran son who served in the War eventually losing his life last yr 8 yrs after discharge to PTSD due to alcoholism I feel honored to have opportunities through Vettix and donors to attend some wonderful events I could never afford to attend ! This Concert honestly one of the Best Concerts I have ever attended . Especially When an unannounced local artist Macklemore joined for 2 songs ! Kahlid and Maisy as well planned and were great but ed Sheeran concert was beyond expectation of wonderful. This opportunity allowed me to have a girls night with two of my close friends. Thank you again to the donor and vettixorg

Victoria and myself would like to thank the Veteran Tickets Organization and Hard Rock International from the bottom of our hearts for the opportunity to experience the Colin Jost comedy show at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood Florida! The opportunity to attend these events free of charge from Vet Tix and their donors is the single most gesture that have made my family and I feel most appreciated after 30 years of Active Duty in the United States Marine Corps. The opportunity to attend these events have been a Blessing to me in my transition back to civilian life. Attending these events is also excellent Therapy in my Battle with PTSD and other Mental Health issues. Thank you all for your continued support and inspiration to us Veterans. You all are Saving Countless Lives. Semper Fidelis and God Bless 🙏🏽.

Thank you so much for the Guns’N Roses tickets. I was able to take my friend who served and experiences PTSD and anxiety to his first show at Fenway.

Sadly I got food poisoning and could not attend this show, which really bummed me out because I absolutely love both bands. My friends were still able to go without me and they had an blast, and for their experience I thank Frank Productions Inc very much. They also got to witness some true comraderie among the veterans in their section. The veteran in front of them was having some PTSD during the pyrotechnics at the show, and he watched so many people come to support him through it and calm his nerves. Love to hear that the fellow veterans came together to help him out.

Thank you for the tickets. The seating was perfect for me to get away when my PTSD was getting a bit much. I appreciate the ability to be able to attend events around others and still feel safe.

It was a great day despite the many challenges we faced. We extremely appreciated the tickets. Disabled veterans like myself appreciate being able to attend events that normally are not available to us because of disability. Thank you NASCAR for supporting us.

That said; when we arrived, there was no handicap parking near our bleachers, so had to hike more than we expected to. The folks in those spots didn’t have any plates or markers for using those spaces ON TOP of them tailgating and taking up multiple spots.

We followed the guidelines of items you could bring in, only to find out the fans don’t follow the rules. I bought stadium seats with no metal in them as the track website SPECIFICALLY said no metal seats allowed. No hard sided coolers but what do we see… Folks wheeling them in. The one guy who was stopped about bringing one in, pitched a fit and the guy let him through.

The scanners I pre-rented were not where they were the last time we went and every staff member I asked said they weren’t sure where they were. Finally I spotted someone carrying their scanners and asked where the vendor was located. He told me in the infield midway area. So from our grandstand seating, I had to walk to the grandstands by turn 6 and cross over the bridge. By this time I’m nearing full boil as I try to walk the midway, only to be slowed by those standing in groups in the walkway to have family reunions! Keep in mind that these are the same oblivious morons who ride in the passing lane and stand in the grocery aisle blocking the way for others. Again, these are people who have no manners or consideration for others and are proud of it and basically dare you to say something.

I finally get to the scanner concession and I tell the lady I rented online and she says I should have received a voucher (which I didn’t), and she says I need it to get it! At this point, my patience is gone and I tell her she better call her supervisor, because here is the receipt for the purchase. She got an attitude and then just looked up my name and saw I was on the list. SOOOO, after the long trip back to our seats, I plug everything in and the one headset has a short in the wire and I basically have to hold it in one position the entire race.

I know it sounds like we didn’t have a good time, but we did. I’m chalking this up to just a series of unfortunate events, because we have never experienced them before at Watkins Glen. Any recommendations going forward would be SECURITY! More security or track staff walking around and keeping the clowns in check. Not just for fights, but to ensure that they behave in a manner that society expects.

I had a friend who was planning on attending but decided against it last minute. It was probably a wise decision given our PTSD. I would have hated that he didn’t have a great experience.

Thank you for providing tickets for me and my family. Oursude concerts work best for my husband because of his PTSD. We enjoyed the time with family that are stationed in a different state. Having those concert tickets allowed us to spend together

Def Leppard was off the charts. I rate their performance a 12/10. Alice Cooper was a 7/10. Motley Crue sadly was a 3/10. I expected so much more from a headliner.

I thank Live Nation for donating these tickets. As a veteran with PTSD, I have a lot of anxiety in social settings. Coming to these events helps alleviate some of the anxiety.

What a great show. Thank you Live Nation and VetTix for making events like these available to us Veterans. I have always found that music helps comfort me with my PTSD. Hearing one of my childhood favorites really helped put me in a better place. Those songs brought back so many good memories. Thanks again.

Thank you. These event from Vet Tix are very relaxing for me. Gives me time to spend with my with my wife and relax. I share with every Vet I see to sign up. We all need a break to relax and this is very welcome. This helps with the PTSD as the VA really has no programs.

Thank you so so much for the Brett Michael's parti-gra tickets. We had so much fun. It felt so good to be escape from our private prisons within ourselves and just be free from our struggles with ptsd for a few hours. Thanks again.

Thank you Live Nation and VETTIX! What an epic night at an absolutely beautiful venue. I feel so blessed each time I am able to win or purchase tickets from VETTIX because of the generosity of fantastic and generous organizations like Live Nation. I try to go to as many concerts as I can each year as music is my therapy due to PTSD and some other mental health challenges. Jiffy Lube Live makes their guest feel so welcome and the employees are just simply the best of the venues in the DMV area. I am handicapped and the ease of parking and getting a golf cart ride close to my seats makes it really easy on me so I do not lose feeling in my legs. Boy George and the Culture Club with Howard Jones opening after Berlin played a perfect short set was just such a beautiful combination of musical talent. The energy of stage and in the audience left this Army and Air Force Veteran thinking of days of old and not thinking of nothing but where he was and who he was with that evening. Good to have friends to attend concerts and I have someone in Melanie (pictures with me) that loves the summer concert scene as much as I do. I look forward to being back to see a Live Nation concert soon.

Thank you all,

Thank you so much for your donation of the tickets! Revel is the perfect venue to go to for someone with crowd anxiety and ptsd. The crowd was not packed like most larger venues. I felt like I could breathe.

Special thanks to Live Nation for the generous donation of tickets they provided for Neil Young, as well as all events that tickets are provided for. This is a huge support mechanism for my PTSD therapy. And thanks to VetrTix.org for their continued commitment to provide tickets for troops, and especially the hero's wish program. I wish the wish program could be extended to all veterans, and not just oic, oif, desert storm. there are so many vets that honorably served in times of need, that it seems they too should have an opportunity to wish for something that could make a difference in their lives as well.

Thank you for your generosity allowing me to attend Elevation Nights with Elevation Worship and sermon by Pastor Steven Furtick.

Live Nation and 98 Rock Disturbed the neighborhood. A big Live Nation Thanks for remembering those with issues about getting out. Giving to help prevent mental health issues, reduce suicide, and allow fun for the worlds greatest organization! Veterans, and First Responders! In my 35 year Military, and First Responder career I rarely went to things for my enjoyment. With VetTix this is possible. Even though this show was not for me it was for a special women that puts up with my PTSD! The love of my life. 98 Rocks, Live Nation, and VetTix allowed me to take her to this show. We were able to stay the night in guest housing on Beale AFB!
From the bottom of my heart thank you for making my friend, my lover and caregiver a surprise that made her happy!
