Announcing: ShowUp for Veterans
By“Thank you for your service to our country.”
It’s not just in words but in deeds that Arizona’s arts & cultural community can appreciate the service of Arizona’s active-duty and veteran military service members and their families.
Today, Alliance for Audience is honored to launch ShowUp for Veterans as a heartfelt way to say “Thank You” to Arizona’s Active Duty Military, Veterans and their families and extend an on-going invitation to participate in Arizona’s wealth of arts & cultural activities.
ShowUp for Veterans has been created in partnership with the Veteran Tickets Foundation (www.VetTix.org) a Phoenix-based 501c3 non-profit organization that works nationally. Their mission is simple: Give something to those who gave as a way of saying “thank you.”
Here’s how ShowUp for Veterans Works:
ShowUp.com has built an exclusive ShowUp for Veterans ”window” to its popular Ticket Marketplace (which sells last-minute discount tickets) and installed it WITHIN www.VetTix.org – so that is is accessible exclusively by military service-members through Vet Tix’ online system. However, ALL the discount tickets available in ShowUp.com’s ticket marketplace are available at an even lower price when access via www.VetTix.org – as Alliance for Audience removes its own service charge resulting in additional savings of $1 to $8 per ticket (depending on the price of the tickets).
In addition to that routine “extra discounting” ShowUp for Veterans also provides an easy way for arts & cultural organizations to make available discount and special offers that are NOT available to the general public at all! (Operationally, it’s precisely like selling tickets via the Ticket Marketplace – just click the “ShowUp for Veterans” button.”)
“Veteran Tickets Foundation is always looking for new opportunities to reach out to the 24 million veterans in the United States,” said CEO and founder of Vet Tix Michael Focareto. “This partnership with Alliance for Audience fits our mission of saying ‘thank you’ to a tee.”
A very special thank you goes to Bank of America for underwriting the ShowUp for Veterans initiative!
