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.

To the Texas Improv Comedy Clubs and Ms. Dominque. Laughter can always be timely when you are just needing a pick. Last night was one of those nights for me. The open invitation and gift of tickets to the show was a therapy that was needed and on-time. I thank 1st Responder/Vet Tix for the wonderful partnership and opportunity provided for us to attend. You have no idea how much these ticket contributions and access to your venues help ease the pain and suffering that many of us feel. I thank GOD for such a wonderful blessing.

I want to sincerely thank you for donating the Diamondbacks tickets that I was able to purchase at a reduced cost. My daughter sings in the Phoenix Children’s Choir, and on this particular day they had the honor of performing the national anthem before the game. Because of your generosity, I was able to attend with my family and share in that special moment. Without the discounted opportunity, it would have been difficult for us to afford a family outing of this kind. The seats were wonderful, and children not only got to see their sister perform but also enjoyed the game itself. It truly made for a memorable experience for all of us. Your kindness allowed us to be part of a day that we will always treasure. Thank you again for making that possible.
