With these additions, your event planning experience just got a whole lot smoother, more secure, and incredibly flexible. Let's dive in and discover how these game-changing features can elevate your event management.

1. What are Seat Holds and Password Protect?

Seat Holds

Seat Holds are your secret weapon for reserving seats at your events. Enabling you to put seats on hold for specific patrons, like season ticket holders.

You have the flexibility to create access codes individually or upload a bulk list of patrons and their assigned seats. Once you've generated these unique codes, you can communicate them to your chosen patrons.

Alternatively, if you are running an event such as a music concert you can provide special access to your valued VIP’s, by designating particular blocks of seats to a particular group of attendees. These seats may have a special price attached to them making the concert experience even more exclusive.

What's more, you can seamlessly integrate this feature with your regular open public sales, ensuring that these reserved seats have a set expiry of reservation which always you to open seats to the public once the seat holds are expired.

Password Protect

Password Protect is your security shield, allowing you to safeguard your event against unauthorised bookings. Instead of letting just anyone reserve tickets, you can now upload or individually create passwords, which you can provide to specific patrons or groups.

You also have the ability to set limits on how many tickets patrons can purchase, which is ideal for scenarios like membership renewals.

The best part? You have full control and can switch passwords on or off at any time and create booking windows, enabling you to sell tickets in waves. This means you can offer first access to members, followed by email subscribers, and then the general public, all with ease.
