General admission sells a count against capacity — any ticket, no assigned seat. Reserved seating sells a specific seat from a venue map, and a sold seat can't be resold.

Two ways to admit an audience

General admission gives each ticket holder access to the event without assigning a specific seat. It is often a practical fit for standing rooms, festivals, flexible community spaces, and events where the experience is not seat-specific.

Reserved seating assigns a selected seat to each ticket. It can make arrival clearer for audiences and operations clearer for venues with established layouts.

  • Choose GA for flexible capacity-based admission.
  • Choose reserved seating when a venue layout and seat selection matter.
  • Use the option that matches the real audience experience.
