A ticketing model where each attendee is assigned a specific seat or seating section at the event. Unlike general admission, reserved seating guarantees each ticketholder a designated spot, often with an interactive seat map during ticket purchase.
Reserved seating is essential for large venues where attendees want guaranteed seats. It reduces crowding at entry, improves attendee experience, and allows for premium pricing based on seat location (e.g., front row vs. balcony).
Real-world examples of how organizers use Reserved Seating.
Theater show: Orchestra seating ($75), Mezzanine ($50), Balcony ($35)
Sports event: Courtside ($250), Lower Bowl ($125), Upper Deck ($50)
Conference: Front row seats for keynote sessions
