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.
Spotlight Donor Feedback

"Our first time working with Vet Tix was fantastic. We were able to offer a small token of appreciation to our veterans, and every single one of them were friendly, pleasant, and a pleasure to have with us for the night. Unlike other offers in the past where we have given out tickets through other sources and tons of them went unclaimed, every person that claimed a ticket actually showed up and attended the event. The artwork supplied on the website made it incredibly easy to make a pickup sign for the ticket office window, and also prompted several other patrons to inquire about the organization.
All around, a wonderful experience. We will be utilizing Vet Tix every chance we get in the future."

Thank you for the tickets, was so nice to spend an enjoyable day with the family who came in from out of town, watching our Falcons beat Bucknell. The weather held out even with a slight delay, was perfect. Always feel such a sense of pride watching these young people represent our nation and it’s nice to be able to interact with them in the stands. My nieces father was a retired Air Force master sergeant so knew she would enjoy being able to go. You allowed us to have a great memory. Thanks! 🇺🇸
