+Before SLIST had a website, before we had ticket links or commission models or any of the infrastructure that exists now, we had Discord. Early SLIST CDMX ops used Discord for cortesia distribution — you joined the server, you got access to free guest list spots.

+Then we launched a Patreon. The pitch: members get free access without needing to share flyers. If you’d redeemed 3 or more cortesias through the free system, you got prompted to subscribe. Pay a few bucks a month, skip the promo requirements, still get in free.
