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.

"Sun Devil Athletics has had the pleasure to work and partner with Veteran Tickets Foundation to bring out the local military and veteran community to all Sun Devil Athletic sporting events.
The partnership that we have with Vet Tix has helped us grow our Sun Devil fan base throughout the valley as well as with different military branches. We have been and will continue to work with them as a partner in order to grow our relationships with the military and veteran communities.
Sun Devil Athletics has had a rich tradition when it comes to the military and Vet Tix has helped us continue with that tradition. We can't thank Veteran Tickets Foundation enough for doing what they do both through donations of tickets and supporting our athletic department. When it comes to donation of tickets, we will call Vet Tix first!

Such a fun show for adults & children alike. I really enjoyed the shows background story of the generations-long journey of a Mexican Hispanic family that created this adventure of talent & entertainment. The performers were talented, engaging and the immersed the audience into the show at times. Such great family (or couple) fun. A huge thanks to Circus Vazuez & 1st Tix for this great opportunity of fun!
