Venues and Seating Charts
Can you do reserved seating as well as general admission, or even mix both in the same performance?
Absolutely. BookTix offers three different seating scenarios: General Admission (open seating), Reserved Seating (each patron selects a unique section, row and seat) and Hybrid Seating (where some sections are reserved and others are general admission).

Patrons can select any seat they want!

Absolutely. You have the ability to prevent seats from being sold to the general public that you are saving for VIPs, judges, volunteers, etc. You can later release those seats to be sold, if necessary.
