RushPass

RushPass is a mobile + web app that helps film festivals sell last-minute seats and helps attendees reliably find them. Festivals often have empty seats due to no-shows, sponsor holds, and schedule changes, while audiences waste time refreshing pages or standing in rush lines with no guarantee. RushPass integrates with a festival’s ticketing system (or runs as a lightweight overlay) to release timed “rush drops” for specific screenings, with clear rules: eligibility, pickup window, ID checks, and transfer limits. Attendees join waitlists per screening, get push alerts when seats open, and confirm within a short countdown. Festivals get a dashboard to set release policies, reduce staff burden, and capture incremental revenue while improving audience satisfaction. This is not a discovery app; it’s an operational tool that turns empty seats into predictable, trackable sales.
