The Syracuse University Athletics Department is proud to announce its partnership with the Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) which will begin in 2024-25. This partnership will serve in addition to the longstanding Broadview Federal Credit Union 'Cuse for the Troops program, which has provided complimentary tickets to active-duty service members and veterans for more than a decade.
The new partnership with Vet Tix will provide season ticket holders the opportunity to unlock tax deductions, increase home field advantage, and provide unused season tickets to all branches of active duty military and veterans, including immediate family of troops killed in action.
Â
Vet Tix has served the military community since 2008, providing free tickets for veterans, service members, and families of those killed in action. These tickets include access to sporting events, concerts, performing arts, and other community and family activities nationwide. Through the Tickets for Troops Program, over 23 million tickets have been distributed to veterans and active service members. Vet Tix is a national non-profit 501c(3), and all contributions are tax deductible.

Four ways to utilize season tickets
"The new partnership with Vet Tix reinforces season ticket ownership and allows season ticket holders to ensure their seats are utilized, even for games they cannot attend," said Director of Athletics John Wildhack. "You are helping us create home field advantage by sending a military member in your place, while receiving tax deduction for the select games you donate back."
Beginning on August 7, Syracuse season ticket holders will be able to donate tickets through their online MyCuse account. Those who donate their tickets will receive a receipt from the Veteran Ticket Foundation for tax purposes.
Â
Veterans seeking to claim these tickets can visit www.vettix.org to create an account.
The Broadview 'Cuse for the Troops initiative also returns for 2024-25, where Syracuse Athletics honors the military throughout the season by providing complimentary tickets to active-duty service members and veterans.
The Broadview 'Cuse for the Troops program operates independently to Vet Tix and has a separate registration and ticketing process. Through the Cuse.com/Military site, all veterans and active-duty military will have the opportunity to receive up to two complimentary tickets to the Holy Cross and UConn games, and up to four on Military Appreciation Day against Georgia Tech.
Â
Different from Vet Tix, which allows season ticket holders to donate unused seats, in the Military Pass program, fans can thank a veteran by sponsoring military tickets on an individual game basis, whether they have season tickets or not.
Military Pass complimentary tickets are available on a first come, first served basis and must be requested at least five days prior to the game. Veterans and active-duty military should register at Cuse.com/military to reserve tickets and learn more about how they will be delivered.
Â
Those unable to sign up for the Military Pass due to limited games, or those who missed the deadline, will have the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets when gates open on game day. Best available, reserved upper-level corner/end-zone seats are $10 each (limit of four) for any of Syracuse's seven home games. A military ID must be presented to receive the discount.
