If needed, you can also click "Move Seat(s) to Another Section" to reassign seats after they've been created.

Once everything is filled out, click Create to generate your seats, or Reset Selections to start over.

3. Once you enter a Section Name, additional settings will appear:

  • Row Naming Prefix: Add a prefix to label your rows.

  • Row Numbering Type: Choose whether rows are numbered Numeric (1, 2, 3...) or Alphabetic (A, B, C...).

  • Restrict section seats by ticket type: Toggle this on to limit which ticket types can access this section's seats.

  • Change the seat price under this section: Toggle this on if you'd like to set a different price for seats within this section.

5. After filling out all the section fields, click and drag to draw a line on the map, this will generate the seats based on your entered settings. Once you're happy with the placement, click Create to save the seats to your map.

Once created, your section will appear in the sidebar (e.g., "VIP Section" — 25 seats), and the seats will populate on the map within the drawn area.
