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."

Sebastien says:
As a UNT alumni and first responder, the opportunity to receive tickets is a huge blessing. I spent many nights and weekends working and unable to attend events so being gifted tickets to spend quality time with my boys means the world. Thank you to University of North Texas Mean Green for helping make this event possible!

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank the Tucson Sugar Skulls and 1st Tix for the incredible opportunity to attend the game through their generous ticket donation. Experiences like this mean a lot—not just as a chance to relax and enjoy a great game, but as a reminder that the work first responders do is seen, valued, and appreciated by the community. The energy, the atmosphere, and the time spent with family and friends made it even more meaningful. Programs like 1st Tix and organizations like the Tucson Sugar Skulls go above and beyond to give back, and it truly makes a difference. Thank you for supporting first responders and creating opportunities for us to step away, recharge, and enjoy moments like these. Grateful for the experience and the continued support—you’ve made a lasting impact.
