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.

"Maryland Athletics is extremely proud to partner with Veteran Tickets Foundation. This relationship has allowed us to quickly and conveniently distribute tickets that previously would have gone unused. More importantly, it has provided us with the opportunity to donate tickets to those individuals that truly deserve and appreciate them: our nation's veterans. Working with Veteran Tickets Foundation over the years has been very easy and incredibly beneficial for Maryland Athletics and the University community as a whole. It is our hope that these benefits are likewise felt by both Veteran Tickets Foundation and the heroes that use our donated tickets."

Dear 1stTix Donor, I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for donating the tickets that allowed me to attend the United Rentals 300 NASCAR race. Because of your generosity, I was able to experience an incredible event that I otherwise may not have had the opportunity to attend. As a first responder, time away from work to relax and enjoy something exciting with family and friends means more than I can fully put into words. Being at the track, hearing the engines roar, and feeling the energy of the crowd was an unforgettable experience. It was not just a race — it was a chance to recharge, make memories, and feel appreciated. Your support through 1stTix truly makes a difference. Knowing there are people like you who take the time to give back to those who serve our communities is incredibly meaningful. Please know that your generosity is deeply appreciated and did not go unnoticed. Thank you again for your kindness and support. With gratitude, Andrew Murphy

Thank you so much to the generous donor and to 1st Tix for making tonight’s Oklahoma City Comets game possible. As a firefighter, I truly appreciate the support shown to first responders and our families. Tonight I was able to enjoy a great evening with my wife, my youngest son, and one of his friends, creating memories that mean far more than just a night at the ballpark. Your generosity is sincerely appreciated. Thank you for supporting those of us who serve our communities every day. Noel
