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.

"5-hour ENERGY recently worked on an MLB project with Vet Tix, providing tickets to our military and veterans for games with teams such as the Dodgers, Yankees, White Sox, Cubs, and Angels. We have also partnered to make dreams come true as part of their Hero's Wishes program with donation of tickets for NFL games and NASCAR races.
The concept is easy and the reward enormous, it was an honor to give back to our veterans and see the tickets go to good use. Vet Tix doesn't just take hand-outs, they treat their sponsors with appreciation and esteem, which is evident from the gratitude shown by their fans and followers.

Jessica says:
Caught Sin City Stones recently and they were incredible—they truly took us back! The performance was spot-on and full of energy. The venue itself is quite intimate, which is cool, but the sound was a bit overpowered for the size of the room and felt a little too loud at times. Despite that, the band was so good that we still had a fantastic time. Definitely worth seeing if you're a fan

My husband and I would truly like to say thank you to Hennepin Arts. My husband grew up here in Minneapolis and worked security for Prince. So it was a true blessing to come to see this remembrance of Prince. The show was wonderful, the cast was very talented and it made me proud to live in Minneapolis.
