RushTix, the first-ever unlimited subscription service for local arts and culture, today announced the launch of its new Starter Pass, priced at just $8.99 per month. The company provides members complimentary tickets to theater, concerts, comedy and a wide variety of live events for a flat monthly fee.
The Starter Pass gives a member a complimentary ticket to unlimited events in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. Once a member attends an event, they may book their next event. RushTix also offers their original “Explorer Pass” ( 2 tickets for $49/mo) and the “Patron Pass” (2 tickets for $99/mo), which gives members even more arts and culture choices.
Nish Nadaraja, creator of the Yelp Elite Squad and now the Chief Marketing Officer at RushTix, adds, “The quality of our local arts scene is so outstanding that we want to expose as many people to it as possible.” The company already has partnerships with A.C.T., SF Playhouse, Slim’s, Great American Music Hall, Cobb’s Comedy Club, and a variety of local community artists, with plans to expand to six other U.S. cities early next year.
Bourque started RushTix in 2014 as a way to give audiences access to more entertainment choices. As a stand-up comedian and independent producer, she saw first-hand how difficult it was for theaters to attract new and engaged audiences. RushTix solves this problem by offering a unique discovery platform.
Indeed, it’s this chance to discover the arts and performances in intimate settings that makes RushTix so viable. With the Starter Pass, RushTix has now made it less expensive than a burrito (and just as delicious) to see amazing live acts and shows each week.
