HOW TO RESERVE YOUR TICKETS: Once you have decided on an event, you can obtain tickets by clicking on the "Buy Tickets" button on the event page. What you are actually doing is RESERVING a ticket and a voucher will be provided for you at the end of your reservation which you can print. You will need to present this voucher and valid military ID when redeeming tickets at the venue. All Active Armed Forces, Reserves and Guard personnel and their immediate families are eligible to reserve tickets through this website, AFTA-Cincinnati.org.

TICKET CONFIRMATIONS: Once you have reserved your tickets, you may have to call the Box Office for that event to make sure your ticket request is confirmed and that you can pick up tickets at the Box Office or Will Call window. The Event Page will instruct you if you have to confirm. We cannot guarantee tickets are available without confirmation for certain events! Sometimes there is an order form attached at the bottom of the Event. You must download the form and follow its instructions to ensure you get your tickets!

TICKET LIMITATIONS: Tickets may be limited per event to 2 or 4 tickets per family. We also ask that you be considerate and limit the number of ticket requests you make with each partner so that other Active Military and their families can participate in our program.

Thank you.

TICKET CANCELLATIONS:

For 2012, we ask your help in making sure tickets don't go unused. If you sign up for an event and can't attend, please contact us immediately at 513-841-2382 or info@afta-cincinnati.org and let us know so we can distribute the tickets to our wait-list! Thank you!
