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 was a lifesaver last year. Brandi seriously went so far above and beyond for us on so many shows, I don't even know where to begin thanking her for the awesome job she did. Brandi has always been so efficient and reliable, and I know without a doubt I can always count on Brandi and Vet Tix to help us make every show magical.

Thank you The Madison Square Garden Company and the Christmas Spectacular Starring The Radio City Rockettes. The show was breathtaking!!! I use to go as a child with my mother and I haven't gone in years l. I was so in awe and it was so much fun to share that with my son and family. He LOVED it. Happy 100th anniversary Rockettes your performance as usual was amazing

I want to share my heartfelt thanks with the San Jose Sharks Organization. I have been attending Sharks games off and on for many years, but I have never sat in seats as amazing as these. This was date night for my wife and me, and we included my nephew and his friend, who are also huge fans and played hockey growing up. Both expressed their extreme gratitude not only for the opportunity to sit in excellent seats like these but also because the game was one of the best this year. Thanks for taking care of us who performed our job trying to ensure safety and enforcement of our laws. I feel truly blessed.
