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.

"5-hour ENERGY recently worked on an MLB project with Vet Tix, providing tickets to our military and veterans for games with teams such as the Dodgers, Yankees, White Sox, Cubs, and Angels. We have also partnered to make dreams come true as part of their Hero's Wishes program with donation of tickets for NFL games and NASCAR races.
The concept is easy and the reward enormous, it was an honor to give back to our veterans and see the tickets go to good use. Vet Tix doesn't just take hand-outs, they treat their sponsors with appreciation and esteem, which is evident from the gratitude shown by their fans and followers.

Thank you AEG for the Wu Tang ticket donation. My bestie & I had a great time reliving old memories made with this music. Our tickets were great and I’m so blessed to take advantage to this offer.

Dear Generous Donors, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each of you for your incredible generosity in donating tickets for law enforcement first responders to attend a Braves game. Because of your kindness, my family and I were able to enjoy an experience that we otherwise would not have been able to afford. Most importantly, you gave my 13-year-old son—who is a huge baseball fan—the opportunity of a lifetime. He has dreamed of attending a live Braves game for as long as I can remember, and seeing the excitement on his face as he watched his favorite team in person was truly priceless. As you can see in his face on the attached photo, it was, without a doubt, a highlight of his young life and a memory our family will cherish forever. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and for making such a special experience possible. Your support means more than you know. With heartfelt appreciation, The Youngbloods
