Bringing Life to Empty Seats: The Advantages of Seat Filling for Event Organizers in Boston
Seat Filling in Boston
By Lu, OTL Seat Fillers
Allow me to acquaint you with the concept of seat filling in Boston, which differentiates itself from award show seat filling. However, it's worth acknowledging that award show producers are tapping into an interesting idea. The visual and auditory impact of a full audience, as opposed to scattered individuals amidst empty spaces, is undeniable.
Even if your event won't be broadcasted, does that really matter?
You still aspire to cultivate that same vibrant ambiance that emerges from a packed venue. The significance of every occupied seat contributes to the overall experience. This is precisely why I believe you'll be enthusiastic about the practice of seat filling in Boston.

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 Boston, 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.
