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."

I was able to take my 3 sons to see this game last night for the first time ever. My sons are 7,6 and 3. My older sons ran the bases after the game was over too. Going to a blue claws game is always a great time and to share that with my sons is a big deal to my family. I am a single dad. My older son’s mother falsely accused me of child abuse and I lost my sons 2 weeks ago. I had to fight for them in court and got them back through a court order. This was the first weekend I had all 3 sons together in the past 4 weeks so it was even more special to spend time with them at the game last night. Thank you for this experience

Thank you so much for these tickets, This was my 13 year old granddaughters First concert!! Going to this concert meant so much to us, My granddaughter has extremely bad anxiety and rarely gets out of the house because of it. So being able to share this with her and make memories truly was a blessing. We appreciate you. My best friend also brought her granddaughter. Both the girls absolutely loved the experience. You are making dreams come true! Thank you again! Sandy, Kaydence, Cindy and Prudence
