Text alerts for sold-out stuff
Someone always cancels. We text you first.
Courts, seats and campsites that look booked solid free up all day long. NabASpot watches them every minute and texts you the second one opens — with the link to grab it.

Questions
The fine print, in plain English.
Do you book it for me?
No — we text you the spot and the booking link, and you book it in your own account. That keeps you within each site's rules, and nobody else ever holds your login.
When exactly does "pay if we find one" charge me?
Once, the first time we text you a new opening for that alert. Spots that were already open when you set the alert don't count — we show those to you for free. If nothing opens before the alert ends, you're never charged.
What if I don't get it in time?
Openings can go fast, which is why paid alerts are checked every minute. The charge covers the alert finding a spot, not the booking itself — so be ready to tap the link.
Will you text me at 3am?
No. Court alerts stay quiet overnight (10:30pm–6:30am) and catch you up in the morning if the spot is still there. Movie alerts only text late at night when the showtime is soon.
How do I stop alerts?
Every text has a link to pause or stop that alert. Or reply STOP to stop all texts from us.
Are you affiliated with the Chicago Park District, AMC, Regal or Fever?
No. NabASpot is independent. We read the same public availability you see on their sites and send you there to book.
