Free Event Tickets for Seat Fillers

Seats Filled for Local Shows & Events

Forget about awards show or concert seat fillers, OTL Seat Fillers are the real VIPs. When local shows, like plays, musicals, and comedy shows, anticipate having some unsold seats, they privately invite seat fillers to attend. So, members of the super-fun OTL Seat Fillers club receive private invitations and free tickets to live shows and events year-round - US and London.

As a seat filler through OTL Seat Fillers, you can take advantage of these invitations that pop up out of the blue AND bring up to 3 guests with you. It's a fantastic way to see the occasional live show without worrying about how much the tickets cost!

How Local (aka Community) Seat Filling Works

  1. Promoters privately offer free tickets to OTL
  2. OTL posts the show or event information for members
  3. Members reserve tickets (up to four per show depending on membership plan)
  4. The reservation list is sent back to the theater or show venue
  5. Members present their ID and pick up tickets at the Box Office right before the curtain rises

No Special Trips to Make

OTL seat fillers make their reservations online in the private members-only area and pick up their tickets at the venue right before the show.

Seat Filling is Fun!

Yes, it's exciting to reserve tickets without worrying about the cost. But, part of the fun is also seeing what pops up out of the blue. Things are always changing in the wide, wonderful world of local seat-filling!

The Local Seat Filler Difference

Being a community Seat Filler is different from seat filling at the major Awards shows or Broadway or West End Theatres. OTL Club members pay low monthly dues and get to reserve free tickets or claim free opportunities to anything that pops up in the member area.

Seat Fillers don't go it alone, moving from place to place. Instead, they bring a guest and are treated just like every other patron in the audience. The only difference is that OTL members and their guest(s) are on the comp list.

OTL members are on secret seat filling missions. And, what could be more fun than being an undercover "Free Ticket VIP?!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Would I Be a Seat Filler?

What Are Seat Fillers?

There are a few types of seat fillers. Traditionally, seat filling was reserved for awards shows, like the Academy Awards, Grammys, or BAFTAs. Today's seat fillers, like through OTL Seat Fillers, aren't filling seats for someone else. They're filling seats - period.

How Can I Be a Seat Filler?

If you want to be an award show seat filler, you must get on a list and hope for the best, as the demand is high. But if you are interested in local seat filling, you can register with a seat fillers club in your area. OTL covers most of the US and London. But PlugIn Vegas is for Las Vegans, and SeatStir is in Baltimore/DC, Cleveland, Minneapolis, NY/NJ, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh.

What's the Benefit of Being a Seat Filler?

Award show seat fillers have the fun of rubbing elbows with the stars. Community seat fillers might not have those opportunities, but they have 12 months of free pairs of tickets to local shows, events, and activities. OTL Seat Fillers attend with guests and don't move around throughout the show.

How Do Local Seat Fillers Pick Up Their Tickets?

When you belong to a seat fillers club, opportunities are posted in a private members-only area. To claim free tickets, you make an online reservation, and then pick up your comps right before the show at the venue's box office.

How Much Does it Cost to Be a Seat Filler?

Seat Fillers through free ticket clubs, like OTL Seat Fillers, SeatStir, and Plugin Vegas, pay dues in the range of only $9 to $15 per month, and all pairs of tickets are included. OTL also has Seat Fillers On-Call for less than $5 per month.

Are There Seat Filler Jobs?

Being a seat filler is a type of job, but not in the traditional sense. Local seat fillers, like members of OTL Seat Fillers choose the events they want to see (based on invitations) and then commit to attend. Instead of a paycheck, they receive private invites and free tickets that are typically worth much more (10X - 50X!) than they pay in membership dues.
