ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—The Tampa Bay Rays have announced the return of the popular Salute to Service program, presented by Jabil Inc. This program is offered to military and veterans, teachers and first responders and provides two complimentary tickets for select regular season home games and discounted ticket opportunities for others.

The first game available for this year’s Salute to Service program is Monday, July 19 against the Baltimore Orioles. Eligible fans can begin claiming tickets for that game today. To participate, eligible fans will need to be verified by ID.me, a third-party, MLB-approved verification service, at RaysBaseball.com/Military, RaysBaseball.com/Teachers or RaysBaseball.com/FirstResponders. Fans who register will receive emails about future opportunities for complimentary or discounted tickets approximately one week before other eligible games.

“Our organization is dedicated to supporting the people who serve and enrich our communities,” said Rays President Brian Auld. “This program is another way that we can share the magic of Rays baseball and show our continued gratitude to these important people.”

Salute to Service military tickets are available to active duty, retired or honorably discharged service members of all branches. First responders include police, firefighters and emergency medical technicians.

“Jabil has a long history of supporting those who serve the Tampa Bay community and we are excited to be the presenting partner for the Rays Salute to Service program,” said LaShawne Meriwether, Jabil’s Vice President of Talent, Diversity and Community.
