Alas, they don't handle the Oscars. They use ABC employees and Academy people as seat-fillers. Other than the general excitement of attending such an event, there are also three ways a seat-filler can get lucky.
One, he or she can end up sitting next to some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. And three, if they're really lucky, the person whose seat they're holding may not show up at all, letting them keep the seat for the entire show.
In fact, sometimes they want seat-fillers to stay for the entire event because they didn't sell all of the tickets to the event. And bear in mind that tickets to shows like the Grammys if you can get them often sell for hundreds, even thousands of dollars from scalpers. So getting in free as a seat-filler, even if it is a game of musical chairs, could be considered a bargain.
Waits can be long, in small back rooms. They don't guarantee that you'll get a seat. And they don't pay you. You have to provide your own transportation and meet their dress code for each event. You must be over 18 they ask for photo ID. And you can't ask stars for autographs or take photos at the events. Also, they encourage you to go to their smaller events to improve your chances of being selected to go to the big events.
And of course, the assignment takes a certain attitude It can be a humbling experience to have to give up a seat to another, even if it is a big star.
Yes, you can immediately start signing up for shows on line once you join. We will allow you time to send in your resume or letter of introduction and your photo, but it would be better for you to take care of everything all at once. We try to notify you as soon as possible, usually 5 days to a week prior to the event.
We sometimes are delayed due to production changes, waiting on parking information, etc. If you are making plans for travel to the host city, those arrangements are up to you as we do not guarantee that you will be accepted.
However, most of our shows, we have hardly ever turned down anyone who has requested to go. We will sometimes allow you to sign up additional people with you, however, the best way to have your friends be able to attend is to have them register themselves for the show. We ask that you arrive no earlier than 1 hour prior to the call time for the event. Just because you get their early, does not give you an advantage over someone who arrives before the cut off time.
Since this is like a game of musical chairs, everyone usually moves around during the beginning of the show, so there is no urgency to arrive too early. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees in Seatfilling.
We book seatfillers based on the number of empty seats that are projected by the production company. We also are filling the seats of the talent as they present and perform. Just because you are accepted does not mean that you will be guaranteed in to the show. However, based upon our shows for the past several years, we have yet to turn away anyone at the door so far. No, there is no pay nor is any compensation provided for travel if you are coming from out of town.
Being a seatfiller is all voluntary and all cost are at your own discretion. I would love to be a filler. Oh I just read about this! What a great opportunity to be in the same room as stars. I never really knew that they had things like this. I have just recently learned about what a seat filler does. This is a really cool opportunity for a lot of people! Oh that sounds fun. I never considered something like this before. I think this is so cool. Share on Facebook Share.
