Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a screening source on SeeItEarly?
A pass distributor (Gofobo, 1iota), exhibitor venue (Alamo Drafthouse, Dolby Theatre), studio promo program (D23, Cinemark), film organization (American Cinematheque, Film Independent), or arthouse chain that distributes free advance screening passes. We don't list general ticketing sites unless they specifically run pre-release screenings, and we exclude content blogs and aggregators that just relay codes without their own programming.
How are new sources added?
We vet each new source manually before adding it. The bar is: (1) the source actually distributes screenings (not just affiliate commissions on existing tickets), (2) the screenings are open to general moviegoers (not press-only), and (3) the source has its own programming or relationship with studios. Suggest a source via the Submit a Screening page or by emailing hello@seeitearly.com.
Why aren't sources like Advance Screenings on this list?
We exclude direct competitor aggregators from /sources because giving them a public entity page on our own site is an SEO endorsement we don't get back. Their listings still flow through our scrapers — we just don't promote them by name as a source. Same logic excludes content blogs and click-driven aggregators.
How often do these source listings update?
Each source is scraped multiple times per day. The listing counts here refresh hourly via the page's revalidate window. New events typically appear within a few hours of being announced by the source, then propagate to the relevant /movies/[slug] + /cities/[city] pages.
Do I need to sign up at SeeItEarly to claim passes?
No. SeeItEarly aggregates listings — to claim a pass, you follow the link to the source site and create an account there if needed (Gofobo, 1iota, etc. each have their own signup). Our optional email subscription is for screening alerts in your city, not for passes themselves.
