Thank You Messages To Veteran Tickets Foundation Donors

VetTixer Feedback!!

This is a post of gratitude. Take a moment to read!
Last night, my dear friend, Saraj, and I had a simply perfect concert experience. Good conversation catching up, 3 amazing bands (Lorna Shore, Gojira, and MASTODON), flawless performances, perfect setlists with no lackluster songs. Running into concert goers from past shows.
Special thanks to vettix.org for sending us to the show for free.
Very special thanks to the Concord Pavilion staff for upgrading us to a VIP box for the Mastodon set! My concert hoody has a blend of metal band patches and my personal Army patches, all arranged like they would be on a duty uniform. They staff noticed that I was connecting powerfully, tearfully, and joyously with the music. Plus the patches.
You can see two early pics, where we're off to the left and far back, then later pics where we're close to center and much closer.
Mastodon is very important, to me. They've been part of my journey to heal from combat PTSD. They're psychedelic and if you want to free yourself from ego and achieve acceptance, their music is just perfect. And heavy, endlessly interesting, and enjoyable. Unbelievable talent.
It was a night I'll always remember. And one of those experiences that confirms life can be amazing and worth all the struggle.
At the end of the show, we stayed and talked with the ushers, who were obviously pleased that we loved the upgraded experience. We left after giving them hugs!
Thanks to everyone who made last night possible, in big and small ways. You all rock! 🤘🥰🥳

Thank you Diamondbacks, vet tix without you none of this could be done helping vets who have PTSD, exposed to chemicals, to all of our freedom fighters with many physical and mental conditions. Thank you so much to allow us to get away and enjoy life once in awhile. Especially a ballgame.

Thank you for these donated tickets for the early-access screening to the movie, Guy Richie's The Covenant, certainly one of the best military movies we've seen recently, although can be a bit rough in the beginning for some OIF/OEF veterans with PTSD issues to endure, but definitely a very important story to be told, which was done beautifully! Will highly recommend this movie.

This was my first ever NASCAR race and I couldn't thank you enough for this amazing experience. I've been working hard through my ptsd and trying to get out around other people. Although it was very challenging and I had to walk outside a few times I had the best time in years. I'm hoping to have the chance to attend many more times in the future and when I'm able to stay the entire race I will owe it all to you for helping me take that first step. I can not thank you enough.

This was my second time attending a professional soccer game and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time! While I enjoyed the event the opportunity encourages me to get out of the house. My PTSD often confines me to my home and opportunities like this give me a reason to get out and brings joy into our home. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for such an amazing experience. This was my first show and I was blown away by how masterfully each artist contributed to the show. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart from a veteran struggling with PTSD, It brought some purpose back into my life.

Thank you to the Detroit tigers for the tickets to the opening week series game. We were very appreciative and excited when we found our way to the great seats you provided. It was also nice to see other veterans sitting around me in our section. I saw someone from the Navy behind me, another Army soldier in front. It makes it a more comfortable environment for people with PTSD. It means a lot. Thank you Detroit Tigers.

Kind Folks:
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the kindness that you have shown in donating tickets for the Salt Lake vs Charlotte soccer game. I wish to express to you the difficulties that I have had with the PTSD and other less severe injuries that I deal with daily. I no longer am able to work, nor is the V.A. giving me any sort of assistance. Thanks to you, I have finally been able to enjoy a sports event with my family, and what a joy it was!!! Far an evening and for a couple of days thereafter, I actually felt like a regular human being again. May God bless you, and those you love and care for.
Sincerely,

VETTIX once again I say THANK YOU!

This was our first time at a National Geographic Live event, and I have to say I was very impressed.

I thought it was cool to have the person who this is all about narrate their story with slides and video and give us view from the creator as opposed to us just watching something.

The question session at the end was also a cool audience participation event as well as being in the lobby afterwards to say hello and shake hands with.

PTSD can isolate people, but VETTIX is helping to get people out and about and feeling sociable again, so thank you all for the donations, they are much appreciated!

Thank you so much to the Harlem Globetrotters and your generous gift.
We have never been to a Globetrotters game and without your generosity I'm not sure we could have this year.
We had an amazing time and I was able to enjoy the game without my anxiety or PTSD affecting my time with family.
Thank you once again.

Thank you Sam Jose Sharks! It was a blast! Spent time with new and old friends! Also throughout the year being able to go to hockey games and enjoying the games has helped me with working on going into large crowds! PTSD does not like crowds !!!!

Dear Live Nation representatives,
I want to thank you for sponsoring tickets to the Reba McEntire concert at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Having the opportunity to attend such an even with a close friend is a great way for me to deal with my PTSD and the isolation it brings. My 2023 mental health goal is more community engagement. Your generosity made that possible. So thank you. We enjoyed the show very much.

Thanks so much for the tickets for the Evening with Third Eye Blind. It was a great time, and provided a much needed reason to get out of the house and interact with the outside world. Those that suffer with PTSD understand how difficult this is. Thanks to VetTix, I made that journey out.
