Selecting a Reserved Seating Chart for Your Event

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Here are some reasons why you might want to select the Reserved Seating option:

  • Guarantees assigned seats – Ensures each patron has a specific spot, reducing confusion on event day.

  • Matches venue layout – Lets you create or apply a seating chart that mirrors the physical space.

  • Enhances audience experience – Allows guests to choose their preferred view and seating location in advance.

👟Walk Through

If you would like to have reserved seating for your event, make sure you select "Reserved -Seating is assigned" while creating your production.

Choosing this option means you will create a seating chart for your event or use a seating chart you already have built.

If you choose General Admission, you will not be able to apply a seating chart.

🎓 Recap: Selecting a Reserved Seating Chart Option

When setting up your production in On The Stage, be sure to choose "Reserved – Seating is assigned" if you want to use a seating chart—either one you create on the spot or one you've already designed. If you select General Admission, you won’t have the option to apply a seating chart.

🚀 Best Practices for Selecting the Reserved Seating Chart Option

  1. 🛠️ Select the correct seating type up front – Picking “Reserved – Seating is assigned” during event creation ensures you’ll be able to apply or build a seating chart effectively.

  2. 🎟️ Avoid conflicts later – If you start with General Admission, you can’t switch back to reserved seating later—so make the choice carefully.

  3. 📋 Plan in advance – If unsure whether to go with Reserved or General Admission, refer to the “Reserved Seating or General Admission?” guide linked within the article for clarity.
