TIP OF THE DAY!

You can sell a show on Webtix that has both reserved and general admission seating

Many venues have shows that contain both reserved and general admission (GA) seating. Our product development team has created a new method for including both kinds of seating for sale on Webtix. When they select a ticket in the reserved seating online, they can pick a seat from a seating chart. If they choose GA, they select the number of tickets from a drop down menu. It does require a few steps in Wintix to set it up (including using multi-charts and an interactive web graphic), but we provide complete instructions here.

Our support team can also set this up for you for a modest fee if you would like to save some time and focus on other box office

tasks! Email support@centerstage.com if you would like help with this valuable feature.
