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.

"Nederlander Concerts has worked with the Veteran Tickets Foundation for the past three years and we have thoroughly enjoyed our partnership. Veteran Tickets Foundation are able to offer last minute concert ticket offers to military families in any market in a professional and timely manner. We receive an alphabetize list for Will Call well in advance of the show and the Foundation even provides feedback from those who attended the event. The Foundation also provides an In Kind Receipt so that we can verify information being posted about our event. It has truly been a rewarding partnership and we look forward to working with VTF for many years to come."

A Huge Thank You to the Las Vegas Aces and 1st Tix! I want to take a moment to sincerely thank the Las Vegas Aces and 1st Tix for the incredible opportunity to attend one of your games with my family. From the moment we arrived to the final buzzer, we were filled with excitement, joy, and unforgettable memories. The energy in the arena was electric, the crowd was amazing, and the players gave an outstanding performance on the court. It was more than just a game—it was an experience we will never forget. For my family and me, this wasn’t just a night out, it was a chance to connect, laugh, cheer, and share in something truly special together. Thank you again for maken this happen for family's like mine.

My wife and I attended the game and had a great time! 1st Tix is such a great group and it really is nice to receive recognition for being able to serve as a policeman for 30 years, as it has been so rewarding to help so many others in the positive ways that all of our sisters and brothers continue to do fearlessly EVERY SINGLE DAY- THANK YOU!
