How SeatLock works

Why presales feel rigged

Presales weren't built for real fans.

Bots and resellers jump the queue
"Waitlists" don't actually guarantee anything
Fans either overpay on resale or miss out completely

SeatLock flips that.

A small deposit turns early access into something only real fans will do — not bots, not speculators.

How SeatLock works

1

Commit with a deposit

Choose an event and place a small refundable deposit. It does not buy a ticket — it only signals you're serious.

2

Commitment window closes

When the window ends, only fans who placed a deposit are eligible for early access.

3

Early access opens

Before public on-sale, the venue emails eligible fans a standard ticket link at face value.

4

Deposit is settled

Your deposit is automatically refunded after checkout.

No manual steps. No trading access.

Why the deposit exists

The deposit makes early access scarce on purpose — so only real fans get in.

One deposit per person
No transferring access
No resell eligibility
No advantage to holding without buying

The deposit isn't a perk. It's a filter.

    Questions before you commit?

    Yes. If you don't buy a ticket during your early-access window, your deposit is released automatically.

    No. Your deposit guarantees early access, not a seat. You'll still need to complete checkout.

    No. Deposits and early access are tied to you to keep things fair and stop scalpers.

    No. You always pay the venue's face value and fees directly through their normal checkout.
