Sold out isn't final.
PrimeRow watches sold-out showtimes and pings you the instant someone returns the seats you want — so you buy at face value from the theater, not $400 from a scalper.
Choose the movie, the theater, and the dates you can go.
Center of the house, anywhere decent, or front-row too — and how many of you are going.
The instant matching seats reopen, you get the alert with the exact seat numbers and the buy link.
The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm sold out for seven weeks at my theater. I'm an engineer, so I did the unreasonable thing: I wrote a script that checked the seat map every few minutes, all day, for weeks.
One Tuesday it buzzed my phone — two center seats, row E, had just been returned. I bought them in 90 seconds at face value while eBay was asking $800. Then my friends wanted it. Then their friends. So I turned the script into PrimeRow.
We never buy, hold, or resell tickets. We watch public seat maps and tell you faster. That's the whole product.
We cover a growing set of premium-format venues, adding chains as fast as their systems allow. Don't see yours? Leave your email and the venue name — demand is exactly how we decide what to cover next.
If your watch expires and we never sent you a matching-seat alert, your credit comes back automatically — no email to send, no support queue. On web you can instead choose a refund to your card in the expiry email.
Yes. Cancel from your status link. Within one hour of buying, and before any alert has fired, your credit is returned automatically.
Email alerts are instant. SMS alerts activate within a few days of your first purchase while carrier verification clears; until then email carries every alert. Each alert names the exact seats (like E7–E8), the show, and the link to buy from the theater.
We only watch public seat maps. We store your email, your watch, and (if you opt in) your mobile number — nothing else. No ads, no trackers, no selling data. See our privacy policy.
