FEATURE AVAILABILITY: Our Reserved Seating has limitations you should understand prior to attempting a deployment.  Please discuss the availability of this feature with your Client Service Manager before planning to use it.

Create events using the See Tickets reserved seating system! Manage your event and allow customers to select their seats using an interactive seating map. Create events that combine reserved seats and general admission. 

Reserved seating maps are built in advance by the See Tickets design team. Please contact your Client Service Manager for more details.

Create a Reserved Seating Event

Setting: Client Dashboard > Create an Event

Select ‘Single Day Event’ or ‘Pass Event’.

Enter basic event information:

• Event Name – cannot exceed 60 characters
• Event Date + Time
• Stop ALL Sales (Online + Box Office) – the date and time online sales will end
• Start Online Sales – the date and time online sales begin
• Time Zone – timezone in which your event is held
• Location – venue name and address for the event (not all fields are required, at least one field must be filled in)
• Tax (if applicable)

Venues with reserved seating maps are marked with the chart builder icon to the right. If there is no icon, there is not a reserved seating map attached to that venue. If you do not see the icon, please reach out to your Client Service Manager to assist. New seating map requests need to be submitted at least five business days before the event build can begin.

Click Save & Exit or continue to “Add Tickets”.

Add the seating chart and pricing section chart to the event by selecting the pencil Edit icon on the Tickets bar. 

In the popup window, the default Seating Chart and Pricing Section Chart values are set to GA.

Select a seating chart.

Then select a pricing section chart.

There are two settings to sell reserved seats: customers pick seats from a map, or, they are automatically assigned the best available seats. ‘Best available’ lists ticket types for the customer to choose from and assigns them the best seat available at their chosen price.

For ‘Best Available’ check the box and click save. 

The pricing zones appear in the ticket manager allowing you to create tickets for each pricing zone.

Reserved seat ticket types have predetermined allotments as per the number of seats available on the seating map. There is a field to add the age restriction to the ticket type. If a seating chart has General Admission and Reserved Seats, an allotment must be entered for GA sections.
