Auditorium Setup
The auditorium setup tab is where you establish your seat count for each auditorium. This was a primary data source prior to reserved seating, but now its settings are primarily used to establish an acuurate seat count. This information is nearly always set up prior to software installation, but it can be modified easily (specifically total seats and low seat counts).
A note about low seats: If you use general admission seating, your low seat count is subtracted from your total seats to create an available seat count. Your available seat count is adjusted downward to 20% of the low seat count for online ticket sales. In short, if you have a 100 seat auditorium and a 20 seat low-seat count, 76 seats will be available for sale through online ticketing. This is done to reduce the risk of overselling.
