Add a General Admission section, and edit the General Admission section to fit your venue's needs

In TicketSpice, you can add a General Admission area to your venue for sections that don’t have assigned seating. This is perfect for lawns, standing-room sections, or open seating areas. With this field, attendees can purchase tickets without selecting specific seats.

Warning: The venue builder on a Reserved Seating page has a 15 minute inactivity timeout. To avoid losing progress, users must save their changes at least every 15 minutes if they are not actively editing. If changes are not saved within this timeframe, the system will not retain any updates.
