A Cardiff venue located in Wales will be the first to offer its members of the armed forces and injured veterans’ free tickets to some of its top shows.

The Wales Millennium Centre (WMC) is slated to join the Tickets for Troops scheme this coming Saturday with support from the Cardiff Devils ice hockey team and the Cardiff Blues rugby team.

WMC artistic director Fiona Allan stated it is a great way to show support to UK troops and their family members.

Started in 2009, the Tickets for Troops charity offers free tickets to many musical events and major cultural sporting events to UK soldiers, airmen, sailors, and their family members.

The O2 Arena and Royal Opera House in London are already major supporters of the scheme.

Wales is also in preparation as they host the UK’s Armed Forces Day for the very first time this coming weekend.  Throughout the day, people can show their support for the troops as the troops parade down the Cardiff streets.

As part of the scheme, the WMC will offer tickets to performances of dance, musicals, and family shows such as Monty Python’s Spamalot, The Snowman, and Mamma Mia!

Allan stated that a great deal of service men and women are forced to be away from their families for lengthy periods of time and the hope is that families will be brought together while they are home so they can experience the best that the centre has to offer them.
