This help doc will cover using the canvas tool in the seat map builder. This tool allows promoters to sell general admission tickets and assigned seating tickets on one page. Patrons just click an area on the map to bring up the general admission tickets.

Mixed Seating (Reserved + General Admission) & Canvas Usage

Important

The canvas tool applies to the seating chart, not the event.

Any canvas changes will affect all events using that seating chart, not just the one you’re working on.


Mixed Seating Events (No Canvas Required)

This article references the canvas feature, but canvas is not required to create a mixed Reserved + General Admission event.

To set up a mixed event:

This allows customers to:

  • Select reserved seats from the map

  • Choose the General Admission button to select tickets in that view


When to Use Canvas Pop Up

Only use the canvas feature if:

  • A section of your map is always General Admission, and

  • No seats exist beneath the canvas area on the map

If you need this setup:

  • Create a separate seating chart

  • Use a background image to label the GA area

  • Do not place seats in that section below the canavs

  • Keep reserved seating sections mapped as usual
