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.

"It has been such a great experience working with Brandi and the team at Vet Tix! Brandi is always proactive in reaching out to get a partnership set up on certain tours, which is a huge help for us. Knowing she is always on top of everything and so quick to get things turned around is a big relief for us when managing so many tours at once. I also appreciate how Vet Tix is always looking to stay ahead of all the advancements, such as getting APIs set up with other ticketing companies to make setting up these Vet Tix offers so much more seamless around the country. I appreciate all you do there, and one of my favorite things is reading the feedback from Veterans post-show to make it know how much doing this means to them.

I was able to attend this game with family and see the new arena. Myself and all of my 3 siblings are Tommies (sister works there) and my 2 kids are big Tommie Fans (will likely attend UST!). 2 of my nephews are currently Tommies (1 in seminary). You'll be getting a lot of these from me and I appreciate all the ticket donations you've made now and in the future! Roll Tomms!

Harlem Chambers Players, Thank you so much for your generous donation of tickets in support of 1st Tix and first responders. Your kindness gave me the opportunity to attend and be a part of this wonderful concert. It was an incredible experience, and I am deeply grateful for your support of both the arts and those who serve our communities.
