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.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to FirstTix and the New York Yankees for the incredibly generous donation of tickets to today’s Yankees vs. Red Sox game! Today was so much more than just a baseball game. It was my son’s best friend’s first-ever MLB game and his first trip to New York City, and getting to experience it together made the day even more special. Your generosity gave these two boys an experience that otherwise may not have been possible. Watching their excitement walking into Yankee Stadium, taking in the atmosphere, and getting to experience one of baseball’s greatest rivalries together is something I will never forget, and I know they won’t either. These are the kinds of days that become lifelong memories. Years from now, they may not remember every pitch or every detail of the game, but they’ll remember the feeling of being there together and experiencing Yankee Stadium for the first time. Thank you, FirstTix and the New York Yankees, for making that possible. Your generosity truly made a difference for our family today, and I am incredibly grateful. ⚾️❤️

I would like to thank the South Carolina Stingrays for their generous donation of tickets to vet tix which allowed me and my family to enjoy game five of the Kelly Cup Playoffs between the Rays and those everblades. We love the Stingrays and love every opportunity to come to games. Thank you again for your support and generosity. From this Veteran/First Responder and his Family
