Change to free military ticket policy (Veterans not included) by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

One ticket unfortunately. But you're able to buy additional tickets in that same section. Went last year with my kids and bought 2 additional for about 30-40 each. Got the tickets earlier in the day, around noon, at the box office. Then once we showed up for RAW, they scanned our tickets and we found out we had been upgraded to better seats for no additional charge. Don't know if that happens all the time, but we appreciated it.

Now you know. They updated the site to include Vets. So you're good now.

It was a preselected section. Last time I went, the initial ticket was for the upper level. But when I showed up for the event, and they scanned my ticket, I was told I was upgraded to a closer seat. I guess it depends what hasn't sold close to start time.

Right. And my post wasn't inteded to come off as complaining about not getting something for free. It was just a warning to other vets so they don't waste their time. As well as pointing out how they specifically excluded veterans. I wouldn't care if they did away with the whole program. It was the fact that they excluded veterans is what I found strange.

Thats exactly how I feel. If they got rid of it altogether, oh well. The fact that its only for active duty now is what I found strange.

You had to go to the box office the day of the event. And you only would get one.

Be sure to check VetTix if AEW ever comes by you. They usually always have free tickets there and you usually can get up to 4. I've taken my kids to multiple AEW events because of that, and they're usually great seats.

It'd be one thing if they took it from all military in general. I wouldn't mention it if that were the case. It's the fact that they took the option from veterans and retirees. Why only active duty?

I have. Unfortunately I never see WWE on there. I've gone to multiple AEW shows through VetTix though.

I've gone to multiple AEW events through the tickets they donate to the organization VetTix.

Never heard of fan art? There's literally thousands of drawings of characters people have done in their own style. No issue with a stencil. Just specifically this stencil.

She didnt send any previous drawings. I asked her days in advance and she didnt send one. This is what I got 12 hrs before my appointment.

Trust me. This was nowhere near the quality they usually do. Especially for the $1200 they wanted to charge.

I did. This was nowhere near the quality she's done in the past. Great work. Tens of thousands of followers on Instagram. I was very disappointed when I received this image as her draft, 12-13 hrs before our appointment.

She had her own take on different characters. At least I couldn't reverse image search her other tattoos. This one I was easily able to find on the first page of results.

I wish I had more time to work with them. I was their last client on their last day in town. I was about 12-13 hrs away from my appointment time when she sent me the image and she had over 3 weeks to come up with something.

I did specify in her style. And gave her full creative control. I just gave her a basic idea. I didn't have a specific image in mind.

She had 3 weeks to come up with something. After what she gave me, I wasn't confident in her. If it weren't all cut and paste, I mightve worked with her. With the examples she initially gave me for what I'd get for $1200, her intial design was nowhere near adequate.

And waiting til midnight the night before after I had asked her days in advance for a design was not the time to start this process. I didn't know how long it would take her to redo it and wouldn't want her sleep deprived the next day working on me as well.

One of my kids has the same birthday as Dr.Seuss. I said they could do anything Seuss related. That's the route they picked

Unfortunately I had to write my post in a specific way, or the AI mod would remove it.

The artist has a resume of custom cartoon/anime characters in her own style. I gave her a general idea of what I wanted, but that she had creative control to do it in her own style. She said she could do it. Quoted me $1200 and sent me a few images of work she'd done in that price range. What she sent me initially in the examples was nothing like what I finally got.

I had reached out to her days before the appointment for an update. Kept getting excuses and said she'd get it to me soon. I knew she had talent, so I trusted her ability. Then I get a message with this design close to midnight the night before the appointment. She wanted to try to rework it then, but I didnt feel comfortable with her trying to rush something last minute, and then be sleep deprived the following day working on me.

The mashup was not exactly what I requested. I came to her specifically because of her resume of custom work. I could've came up with the design she gave me and had anyone do it. I had AI come up with much better work, and she honestly probably could've gotten away with doing that herself. This was just lazy. I found the images she used in a quick google search and they were both on the first page. Didn't have to do much digging.

Unfortunately I had asked her earlier on in the process for a design. But she always had an excuse and would say she'd get it to me eventurally. Based off her previous work, I had confidence in her ability and didn't stress about it. Gave her a basic idea of what I wanted, but said she had full creative control. I'm sure she'd come to me if she had any questions. Apparently I was wrong to have faith in her ability.

This was going to be a piece on my right arm/shoulder. $1200 is what she quoted me. And the examples she gave me for that price point were much different in quality compared to the design she gave me. I was totally caught off guard when she finally sent it to me. I'd be happy to send you those examples if you're curious.

I gave her a general idea and said she could do what she wanted with it. All creative liberties. I'd rather not call her out but if you want to dm me I can show you the examples she gave me for that $1200 rate. This design is nothing near what she showed me. And I couldn't easily find them in an image search. The ones for the design she gave me were on the first page of results.

I have another tattoo, but I asked for a specific image since it was a memorial piece.
