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.

"There are many "discounted" ticketing agencies out there that claim they can help fill a house with potential repeat customers and after managing multiple box offices over 14 years this is not always true. Fortunately, I came across VetTix and I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful organization.
I love how the tickets go to the Military personal and their families. Their patrons have included currently serving, retired and wounded members of our Armed Forces. They all have attended Valley Youth Theatre performances and it has been wonderful to see the smiles on their faces. (We really love the thank you notes & pictures)
Valley Youth Theatre not only has strategically planned filling extra seats during the run of a show, but we have contacted VetTix with just a few days to spare and the allotted seats were full by curtain. Unlike other "house filling agencies" we do see patrons return and pay full price for our shows.
I know many other Theatre Managers throughout the Valley and I always highly recommend contacting VetTix when it comes to papering a house and working with a top notch organization that caters to the Military and its Veterans.
Kind regards,
David"

What an awesome concert. Jason Aldean was outstanding! I enjoyed his entire performance. I want to thank Live Nation for my ticket . Their continued support of America’s Veterans and First Responders is commendable! I believe that I am truly blessed to receive tickets to this event. The venue, Sports Illustrated Stadium, was a fantastic facility. The semi open air stadium added to the atmosphere. I was glad to be in attendance at Sports Illustrated Stadium’s first concert. Once again thanks to Live Nation and Jason Aldean for a great life’s memory!

My thanks to Main Street Theatre for donating the tickets for Purlie Victorious. I absolutely loved the play. The production was excellent and the acting was superb. I stayed after to have a root beer. I talked to some of the cast members about the play and they were all so nice. Thanks once again for your generous donation!
