Thank you so much live nation! I don’t get out much due to my PTSD but I took the chance and went to watch Lindsey Sterling with my kids. It was an amazing experience for us as a family!

The band was very engaging however, based on the facility and the type of music it was too much for someone with PTSD. I love the music and would see them again in a larger facility. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to see Two Door Cinema Club and Flipturn with my oldest daughter. As a veteran with PTSD, I struggle to find my way through most days, let alone find ways to spend time and relate to my teenage daughter. I’ve been a long time fan of Two Door Cinema Club and I think we both left with Flipturn as our new favorite band. What an amazing first concert for my daughter to attend and what an amazing gift of a new shared interest with her. I don’t think words can really express how meaningful and valuable an experience like this is, not just for me but for my whole family.

Thank you Caesars and Carlos for the tickets. We laughed out cans off. What a great show. And the timing was perfect as I really needed to relax and laugh (ptsd). Thanks again, you have no idea what it meant. It was great meeting and taking pictures with Carlos after the show. What a nice guy.

Me and my family had a great time. I barely ever leave my home because of PTSD issues, but this gave me the push and opportunity to finally get out! The game was very competitive and fun towards the end! Thank you so much for supporting us Vets!

Frank and his creative cast always do a great job! Thank you for supporting VetTix. These donations have allowed for me to attend shows/events that I would not have been able to do so without this support. As someone who has PTSD and has difficulty getting out of the house, these events give me motivation and help build my socialization skills. THANK YOU.

Thank you Tektronix! It was our first time in a suite at the Moda center! After the event my wife and I discussed how long the event ran (5 hours) and if we were in normal seating we would left halfway through. This time of year can be difficult to go to events with my PTSD due to crowds but viewing this event in a suite that was only 1/2 filled was amazing. Thank you

Thank you so much. My wife and I have never laughed so much. We laughed so hard that we were crying! With the stress and anxiety of PTSD, this was great therapy and relieve much stress. We enjoyed it so much and thank you!

Thank you I have avoided going to concerts and crowds in general due to my ptsd. In dealing with it I have been encouraged into stepping into uncomfortable situations. If it wasn’t for first fleet concerts donation I would not of gone and taken a huge step into recovery. Makes it even more fun when I can spend the time with my son and he got the chance to meet one of his idles

Thanks so much for the donation tickets. I meant a lot for my wife and I to be together for this event. I met another family there who also got tickers thru Vettix. The young boy with them lost his father to the demons of PTSD. It touched my heart greatly, as I too him similar demons. Every event that can help us think of funner times is healing. Thank you so much again!

Hello SEATTLE STORM!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the tickets! My sister, Sheryle, and I, are both veterans. (Her: AF, Me: Army.)

She suffers from pretty intense PTSD/flashbacks at times. And was concerned about going to a really crowded place. However, she felt she could do it. AND THEN... your 2 seats happened to be at the end of row/next to the aisle! THIS made her MUCH MORE comfortable, as she could step out easily if necessary.

AND... her birthday was July 7 and she'd REALLY been wanting to go to a Storm game.

THE SEATS and the view were FANTASTIC!

And, the Storm came back from down double-digits to winning by double-digits.

It was a - PERFECT - afternoon.

And both her, and I, TRULY appreciate your generosity.

Thank you.

I want to say thank you for your donation and support of veterans. As a vet who suffers from PTSD, the seats were perfect for me without being overwhelmed with a lot of people. Your contribution to veterans means more than you know.

I want to send you the most sincere THANK YOU! I struggle with severe depression and PTSD.. and find it hard to get out of bed most days… I told myself if we got the tickets to go to the concert, I had to get out because not only did I deserve it but that it would be good for me. My husband and I both had a blast!! It wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for you! Thank you so much!

This was the first time I used Vettix. I have been reluctant to going to a concert, do to my PTSD, but my wife really likes Jamey Johnson so I entered the drawing and won. My anxiety lowered quickly went i noticed all the other vets sitting in the same section.

Thanks Live Nation!
