What is 1st Tix
Who We Serve
How Attending Events Helps
We know that strong family bonds and community support are essential tools for 1st responders as they navigate through their dangerous and often traumatic professions. Positive social support buffers against stress and is associated with better psychological and physical functioning. Attending events initiates positive social interactions helping to foster and maintain meaningful relationships. Having a strong social network also protects against isolating tendencies which can increase depression and anxiety symptoms.
1st Tix offers such a diverse range of events that it is easy and appealing for 1st responders to use our services, regardless of age or physical ability. We make it possible for retired responders to take their grandchildren to Disney on Ice, for a family to enjoy an afternoon together cheering on their local team or to experience to magic of the Nutcracker ballet. Vet Tix offers multiple tickets allowing 1st responders to go with family and other responders. Repeated experiences at a range of events helps veterans build a better social structure, both within their families and their communities. The overall result is a higher quality of life.
Why do our Donors Love Us?
1st Tix enriches 1st responders' lives, but we are also a benefit to donors. Since 1st Tix is part of Veteran Tickets Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit foundation, individual ticket holders and businesses can receive tax deductions for their donations.
The 1st Tix system is transparent. We are independently GAAP audited and have been at 96.5% to program or above each year. Venues, artists, teams know that their tickets are used by 1st responders. Our verification system ensures that only qualified people get access to tickets and discounts. We provide easy methods to donate shipped, will-call, print at home, or mobile delivery, with complete tracking along the process.

"Vet Tix is a great organization to work with because they are very well organized and make sure that the tickets donated are being put in the right hands. Although we have a pretty good grasp on the military community in San Diego, Vet Tix helps us reach other service members we may not have reached. Vet Tix is part of our Charity Ticket Program in which many of our tickets are donated to military and first responder communities. I was very impressed on how organized Vet Tix is with the fact that they have every recipients name, address, and track their redemption on if their tickets are being used or not. Vet Tix is great to work with and we are looking forward to great 2015 season.

Big THANK YOU! to Eugene Ballet for this generous donation. This was the first time I’ve chanced bringing my son (30 yrs old, nonverbal with autism) along to a ballet. It took him a moment to acclimate, and he is calmly sitting through intermission now and happily awaiting the 2nd half. The expense has typically kept us away as I’d mostly feared his disruptive behaviors and a need for an abrupt and early exit. With this gifted (thank you again!) visit being such a positive experience, we will be attending future events and enjoying the enrichment of music, dance, and live performances. Much thanks. ✨ Also, thank you to the folks at Will Call who adjusted our seats, at my request, to an area close to the exit and away from the bulk of the audience. ✨

I'd like to thank the Houston Grand Opera for generously donating the tickets to see The Barber of Seville! The seats provided were excellent and I enjoyed the production from beginning to end. The performers were all incredible and the staging made it so much fun. A big plus for me was being able to be there on Pride Night! Thanks once again to the Houston Grand Opera for providing this wonderful experience!
