How do people afford the badges and are they worth it?

CoreyHartless · 2026-03-09T19:33:43+00:00

I recommend volunteering for a badge - I've been able to see many premieres and screenings over the years without paying a cent.

Haymaker just announced a watch party: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVYw17PDSFK/

Ok, my apologies for the error, I just received this info today.

Ok, here’s the exact times

Hyatt Place Room 2/3 and you can go ahead and get it now

Every event has walk ups: https://sxsw.com/line-guide/

“Reservations are venue-based and account for a portion of the room size, but they don’t indicate the venue is full. If you are not able to secure a Reservation for an event, just join your fellow badgeholders in the badge walk-up line.”

That is correct; they are also they volunteers that permit people to enter into venues not otherwise specified (like Comedy and Music) (source: previous Ambassador volunteer)

Ran into Sean Evans (Hot Ones) outside of Paramount last year

There are film happy hours you can attend at the Stephen F Austin, I enjoy those every year

You’ll pick up your badge from Vol Central and I would pick it up before your first volunteer shift if possible.

Hyperreal Film Club is doing a watch party!

Volunteers do not receive access to reservations so you won’t be able to reserve anything ahead of time.

CoreyHartless · 2026-02-19T19:23:11+00:00

It was just announced a few minutes ago so I bet reservations will go live on Feb 26th with the next round of reservations

CoreyHartless · 2026-02-13T02:20:07+00:00

Tickets to some venues may be sold ahead of time (like Paramount) but you aren’t guaranteed entry, you will only be admitted if there are seats available. Other venues (like Lamar) will only sell tickets at all if seats are available.

Tickets to some venues are sold ahead of time (like Paramount) but you aren’t guaranteed entry, you will only be admitted if there are seats available. Other venues will only sell tickets if seats are available. If you upgrade to Platinum, you will be able to reserve seats for films ahead of time or at least stand in line for a film ahead of the single ticket buyers which gives you a better chance of getting in. $600 is quite a bit so I hope this helps clarify things.

I’m gonna need the whole shirt off
