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.

"I am a huge advocate for Vet Tix! Being a Veteran myself, I have been lucky to be awarded tickets, so I know the joy Vet Tix brings to me and my family when I'm awarded tickets. I am also luck to work for a company who strongly supports Veterans and now that I'm a member of our Veteran Employee Engagement Council I have recommended fulfilling Hero's wishes as we can afford. I appreciate Vet Tix working with me to create an account from my company and the Veteran Engagement Network so my company and our group is shown as the appropriate donors and not just me. Thank you Vet Tix!"

Dear San Diego FC, I just wanted to send a sincere thank you for donating tickets through 1st Tix. Because of your generosity, I was able to attend a match that I truly won’t forget. For many of us, opportunities like this don’t come often, and being able to experience the energy, community, and excitement in person meant a lot. Your support goes beyond soccer — it creates memories, brings people together, and shows how much your club cares about the community. Thank you again for giving back and making fans feel included. I’m grateful for the experience and excited to support San Diego FC moving forward. With appreciation, R.Soria

Thank you to the Athenaeum Center for the tickets to yesterday’s performance. Because of your generosity, I was able to share a really special moment with my mother and a friend. I apologize for the late thank you. My phone died yesterday, and I wasn’t able to send this until today. Thanks again.
