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.

"Doing business with Vet Tix could not be easier. It is a matter of adding the integration thru the provisioning process, creating a dedicated hold code within Paciolan
and then adding the complimentary tickets with a delivery method that best fits your needs. Vet Tix and the integration takes it from there.
They confirm the eligibility of the veterans and handle the delivery of the tickets. The best part is when the veterans go back online and post pictures and or testimonials. Reading these testimonials has proven to be as beneficial to our staff as we hope attending the games are for our veterans.

Dan says:
Thank you so much for the wonderful donation of tickets from the San Diego Symphony. My parents ushered at the symphony for years until it became too long for my dad to stand. This will be the first time since they retired that they’ve been able to come to the symphony. This is a special memory together!

The festival’s concert was an absolute highlight of our year! My wife and I attended both days, and the energy was consistently electric. On the first day, having our son join us made for a wonderful family memory; he loved the vibrant atmosphere and the music. The second day was equally fantastic as we rocked out with my best friend. The lineup was top-tier, the sound quality was crisp, and the crowd stayed positive throughout. It was the perfect weekend of live music and great company. We’re already looking forward to next year’s show! Best weekend ever.
