Cook County veterans and active-duty military members can claim a free Chicago Wolves ticket this season through Clerk Monica Gordon's office.
Gordon announced Oct. 12 that her office has partnered with the Chicago Wolves to offer one free regular-season home game ticket at Allstate Arena for the 2026-27 season, according to the Cook County Clerk's website. The offer is open to all Cook County veterans, active-duty personnel, National Guard members and reservists, which includes Park Ridge and Niles residents.
To qualify, veterans must enroll in the Clerk's Military and Veterans Discount Card program. Those already enrolled are eligible. Veterans can also buy additional tickets at a discount.
The offer covers home games through April 11, 2027. Three blackout dates apply: Oct. 27, 2026, Dec. 16, 2026, and Feb. 18, 2027.
Gordon said in a statement that the partnership allows her office to turn appreciation for veterans into something tangible, and that she was pleased the Wolves are helping provide another benefit to service members.
How to get tickets
Tickets are digital only. Veterans select their game and seats online at cookcountyclerk.com/Wolves. Tickets are delivered by email, and a mobile device is required for entry at Allstate Arena. Veterans will receive two emails after ordering: a purchase confirmation and instructions to access their tickets.
How to enroll
Veterans who are not yet in the Discount Card program can apply online at cookcountyclerk.com/veterans, by mail, or in person at the Clerk's Veterans Affairs Office at 118 N. Clark in Chicago. The office is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Applicants should bring a DD-214, Retired Military Card, or an Illinois driver's license or state ID with a veterans designation. For appointments or questions, call 312-603-5788.
The Discount Card program, run in partnership with the Cook County Office of Veterans Affairs, provides discounts on food, auto repair, legal services and health and fitness memberships.
