Let me provide you with insights into seat filling in Austin, a unique approach distinct from award show seat filling. Nevertheless, award show producers might be onto something, don't you agree? The sight and feel of a full audience surpass having scattered attendees amidst empty spaces.
Even if you're not broadcasting your latest show, the desire for an electrifying atmosphere remains unchanged. Each occupied seat contributes to the overall experience. That's why the concept of seat filling in Austin is bound to excite you.

The spectrum of shows and events that OTL has extended to seat fillers is limitless. While plays, musicals, and comedy performances are predominant, seat fillers have attended sports events, concerts, festivals, lectures, burlesque shows, opera performances, ballets, symphonies, classes, expos, parties...
To tap into the advantages of seat filling in Austin, there's one fundamental requirement – the opportunity provided to OTL seat fillers must possess intrinsic value. This signifies a ticket cost equivalent to what other attendees pay (with seat fillers gaining free admission) or an exclusive invitation to an event not open to the public.
If you extend tickets and OTL members secure reservations, these reservations must be honored. However, you can initiate with a modest quantity and then distribute additional tickets as the event date approaches to ensure comprehensive coverage – just in case.
OTL generally occupies more seats with advanced notice. Therefore, around a week or so is optimal, but aim for a minimum of 48 hours in advance. Some organizers have distributed a limited number of tickets several weeks prior to establish the event listing and spark interest among seat fillers. Subsequently, as the event draws near, they release more tickets based on availability.
