Brown Paper Tickets has introduced an easy way to donate tickets to the men and women of the U.S. armed services through a crowdfunding program called “Brown Paper Tickets Salutes”. The ticketing company has helped event producers to give more than 21,000 event tickets worth $364,000 to active U.S. Military personnel, veterans and their immediate family members since last July 4, as a way to say “thank you for serving our country.” An integration with the Veteran Tickets Foundation, also known as Vet Tix, allows anyone creating event registration and ticketing through Brown Paper Tickets to donate tickets to veterans with just one click, and to allow ticket buyers to purchase extra tickets that are donated to veterans.
“We are truly humbled by how many people creating and attending events have donated to those who have served our country,” said William S. Jordan, president and founder of Brown Paper Tickets. The company has the largest commitment to social responsibility in the global ticketing and event registration industry, including donations of 5 percent of profits from every ticket sold to charities in the category of each ticket-buyers choice. “We found that many event producers and ticket buyers just needed an easy way to express their gratitude to those who have served in the U.S. Military; we are honored to help them to share the joy and community created by live events,” Jordan said.
Military personnel and veterans can browse events offering tickets through the Brown Paper Tickets Salutes webpage, verify their military service by Vet Tix, and sign-up for the tickets by clicking through to the Vet Tix portal.
