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.

""We have thoroughly enjoyed working with VetTix for the past several seasons! Shane Boucher has been incredible to work with. Our entire staff loves meeting the veterans during games and visiting the VetTix website after a long stretch of games to look at all the photos they posted in our arena with their families and friends. It is very fulfilling experience, that makes working in sports even more fun!"

I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for sponsoring our tickets to the John Fogerty concert at Planet Hollywood. It truly meant so much to us. The experience was unforgettable—the music, the energy, and just being there created such a special memory that we’ll carry with us for a long time. It’s not something we would have easily been able to do on our own, and your generosity made it all possible. More than anything, we’re just really grateful—for the opportunity, for the thoughtfulness behind it, and for you. Acts like this don’t go unnoticed, and they genuinely bring so much joy. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. 💛

Having the opportunity to attend the final game of the season with family is an amazing experience. We sacrifice so much of our family time to serve anonymous people in need that our family often times feel the effects. It is because of 1st Tix and the generous donors that I have been able to make lasting memories with family. Thank you for the support and the opportunity to enjoy family.
