What is the mission of AFTA-Cincinnati ?
Armed Forces Tickets Association (AFTA-Cincinnati) was created to show appreciation to our active Armed Forces, Guard and Reserves men, women and their families by making available free or deeply discounted event tickets by partnering with Arts, Entertainment and Sports organizations.
Who is eligible for AFTA-Cincinnati discounts and free tickets?
Presently, we are offering the free and discounted tickets to active U.S. Military, Guard and Reserve personnel and their immediate families (husband, wife and children/stepchildren). Offers may not be available for civilian personnel working in military installations. Check venue for availability. Military identification (or papers) must be presented for all people attending the event (at venue box office). We are not currently serving retired or veteran military, however there may be some venues that offer events open to all. Please check the event for more details.
What areas of the country does AFTA-Cincinnati serve?
AFTA-Cincinnati currently serves the Greater Cincinnati, Tri-State areas consisting of Southern Ohio, Northern Kentucky and South Eastern Indiana at this time. We are not a national organization yet, but we hope to be the model for other cities to provide the same type of services for our active military in the future.
When does the AFTA-Cincinnati site go live?
The original AFTA-Cincinnati site went live on March 27th, the official launch date of Armed Forces Ticket Association - Cincinnati. Our new site went live on September 29, 2008. We hope you love the new site as much as we do!

Once you have made your ticket decision, you will print the voucher from this site and present it along with your Military Identification to redeem the tickets.
