How SeeItEarly Works

How we aggregate 30+ screening sources into one place so you never miss a free advance screening, premiere, or film event.

The Problem

Free screening passes are scattered across a dozen different websites: Gofobo, Advance Screenings, 1iota, studio portals, Ticketmaster, local theater sites. Each one lists different events, none shows you the full picture, and missing a listing by a few hours can mean missing out entirely.

How We Aggregate Screenings

SeeItEarly runs custom-built scrapers that automatically check 30+ sources multiple times per day. When a new screening is posted on any source, it appears on SeeItEarly within hours. We cover Gofobo, Advance Screenings, 1iota, Mind on Movies, Ticketmaster, Alamo Drafthouse, Eventbrite, Movies In Concert, Dolby Theatre, and more. (Some adjacent services like On Camera Audiences focus on TV tapings rather than film and aren't part of our event feed — see /resources for the full list of complementary platforms worth checking yourself.)

What We Add

We don't just list raw data. Each event is enriched with the movie's poster, the screening location with city and venue details, dates and times, and a direct link to claim passes. Events are categorized (screenings, concerts, premieres, film events) and filterable by location, date, and type.

Always Free

SeeItEarly is free to use. No account required to browse, no paywalls, no data selling. We're a pass aggregator, not a distributor: when you click 'Get Passes,' you go directly to the original source to claim your tickets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does SeeItEarly distribute passes directly?

No. We're an aggregator. When you click 'Get Passes,' you're taken to the original source (Gofobo, Advance Screenings, etc.) where you claim passes directly.

How often are new screenings added?

Our scrapers check all sources multiple times per day. New screenings typically appear within a few hours of being posted on the source site.

Can I submit a screening that's not listed?

Yes! Use our Submit a Screening page to tell us about screenings we may have missed.
