Tickets for Troops
Working with sports
teams, event venues and season ticket holders, OCC has distributed tens of
thousands donated tickets to military families and veterans in the San
Francisco Bay area and Northern California, free of charge.
Since 2004, Operation:
Care and Comfort has worked with professional and college sports teams,
entertainment venues, and promoters to send thousands of troops, reservists,
veterans and their immediate families to events—free! OCC also partners with
northern California sports teams to hold military appreciation/Support Our Troops
games. We charge no services charges, no mailing costs—the tickets are
absolutely FREE!
If you are military
active duty, reservist, veteran, military retiree or a Gold Star Family located
in California, you may sign up to be included on our list for complimentary
tickets to local sporting and entertainment events. Donated tickets are often
last minute or on game day, so please give us the best phone numbers to reach
you! We currently announce new tickets on our Facebook page- OCC.USA. Check
daily then follow the instructions posted to request tickets.
New and last minute
ticket announcements are often posted on our Facebook page (OCC.USA), so please
join. Follow us on Twitter, too! (OperationCandC)
If you are a season
ticket holder of any of the bay area sports teams (college sports, as well) or
a subscriber to the opera, musical theatre, etc. you may donate tickets to the
OCC's Ticket for Troops program, and we will give them to local military personnel,
veterans and their immediate families.
Ticket donations are
tax deductible, and you will receive a receipt for your donation. Tickets may
be emailed (preferred), or mailed (contact information below.)
Even if your desire to
help occurs at the last minute, please call and we will do our best to honor
your donation—even hours before a game!
Your organization or
company may also show their support of our troops by donating funds, which will
be used to purchase tickets for local military families. This is a great way to
support families for the advertised Support Our Troops games, and remember,
your gift is tax deductible.
Please note that we
ask you for your work or home email; do not use your military email, as tickets
as attachments are sometimes stripped. Please limit ticket number request to
your dependents only. Tickets are limited, and must never be sold or bartered.
