BIS (Butts In Seats) Strategy - Standby Policy - antiFOMO Policy

FOMO means Fear Of Missing Out

You may have experienced this when a cool ticketed event happens a few days before payday

I certainly have. We want to reduce the risk of heartbreak if the ticket price is just beyond your budget

Art is meant to be experienced and shared. 

Artists are eager to share their art by any means necessary.

We work hard to put on fun events for the community and we want people there to enjoy it!

We aim to keep event ticket pricing accessible and pay-what-you-can at every opportunity.

Standby seats are HEAVILY discounted but the actual pricing depends on the venue. Standby tickets could be $5-10 but we encourage venues to offer FREE standby tickets whenever possible but it is up to the discretion of the individual venue. 

If you show up to an event at the posted door time and ask for a standby seat, we will try our best to provide you a seat. If there are no seats available, we will offer standing room if we have it. The venue would help you to your seats or to the standing room area as the show starts.

Start Fresh PDX would rather have an enthusiastic butt in a seat than an empty seat. Always. 

We hope to see you at one of our events soon! Times are tough but we don't want people to miss out!
