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.

"Vet Tix is a great organization to work with because they are very well organized and make sure that the tickets donated are being put in the right hands. Although we have a pretty good grasp on the military community in San Diego, Vet Tix helps us reach other service members we may not have reached. Vet Tix is part of our Charity Ticket Program in which many of our tickets are donated to military and first responder communities. I was very impressed on how organized Vet Tix is with the fact that they have every recipients name, address, and track their redemption on if their tickets are being used or not. Vet Tix is great to work with and we are looking forward to great 2015 season.

I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for providing my family and me with the amazing opportunity to attend a Los Angeles Kings game. It was an unforgettable experience for all of us. From the excitement of being in the arena to the energy of the crowd, every moment was special. Seeing the smiles on my family’s faces throughout the game meant more to me than I can put into words. Opportunities like this truly make a lasting impact, and we are incredibly grateful for what you do for families like mine. Thank you again for your generosity and for making memories that we will cherish for years to come.

Huge thank you to Wynn Las Vegas for the generous donation of my ticket to see Awakening tonight! Being able to experience a show like this is truly special, and it means a lot to those of us who benefit from 1st Tix (and Vet Tix). The seats (Section A B 8) were absolutely amazing and made the whole experience even better! It’s incredible that organizations like Wynn support first responders and veterans by giving us opportunities to enjoy world-class entertainment. I’m very grateful for the experience and excited for an unforgettable show tonight!
