FAQ
Passes, RSVPs, and the fine print
The questions we get most about how screening passes work.
Are advance screening passes free?
Most are. Studios and venues give them away to build word of mouth. A few previews (film concerts, festival flagships) are ticketed, and we label those. The green “free” count on each source card tells you how many free passes it currently has.
Do I RSVP through SeeItEarly?
No. We never host the RSVP form or republish redemption codes. Each listing sends you to the source's own page (Gofobo, 1iota, a venue site) where you claim the pass directly.
Does SeeItEarly charge, or take a commission on passes?
No. Browsing is always free, and we take no affiliate commission on screening passes. We support the site through advertising and partnerships, never from your RSVP.
Is a pass a guaranteed seat?
Usually not. Free screenings are intentionally overbooked, so arriving early matters. We flag this on event pages and link to each source's own seating rules.
Why isn't a source listed, and can I add one?
We track 30+ sources and add more each season. The grid above features the public distributors, venues, and programs we send traffic to. If you run a screening program, claim a listing and we'll pull yours in with a visible credit.
How often is this updated?
Hourly. The counts on each card (events, cities, free) reflect the live catalog.
Run one of these sources?
Partnering swaps us from pull (we crawl you) to push (you submit), and adds a visible credit on every listing. Free, no contract.
