The Shadow
BLACKSBURG, Va. – As one of just two public universities with a full-time Corps of Cadets, Virginia Tech takes pride in its deep-rooted military heritage. In tribute to the brave men and women who serve our nation, Virginia Tech Athletics is proud to continue the Tickets for Troops initiative. Through a continued partnership with the Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix), this program gives Hokie fans a powerful way to give back—by sending veterans, active-duty service members, and their families to Lane Stadium to experience the energy of Hokie football firsthand. Fans can donate in $25 increments, and Virginia Tech Athletics will match every gift to cover the full cost of a game ticket. Whether you’re a Hokie alum, a proud supporter, or simply looking to show gratitude to those who serve, this is your chance to make a game day unforgettable for someone in uniform.
Tickets will be distributed to veterans and active-duty service members and their families via VetTix.org. Those eligible to receive tickets are encouraged to click here to register.
