What Is OTL Seat Fillers?
OTL Seat Fillers is a private, dues-based entertainment membership club — not a ticket broker. When our entertainment partners have seats to fill, members may receive private invitations to reserve complimentary tickets.
Start with How It Works →How Does Membership Work?
You choose your city, select a 2-seat or 4-seat membership when available, and watch for private invitations. Availability varies by city, partner, date, and season, so the Get Started guide explains what to expect before joining.

Seat fillers, event partners, and entertainment lovers have helped shape OTL for more than 13 years. Here’s a quick peek behind the curtain.
“My wife and I love being seat fillers! We get out of the house so much more and it’s so cool to be able to reserve free tickets to such great shows that we might not have attended without OTL!”
“It takes a little patience because shows aren’t always available in your city. But when they are, just one event can pay for an entire year of membership.”
“I love working with OTL. The ticket process is easy and the audiences they send our way keep coming back. They are a valuable part of the arts community in Austin.”
Because we don’t publicize partner lists, regular ticket sales stay protected and seat filler invitations stay private. The people who know OTL best are the members and partners who use it.
