How to Create Ad-hoc Seat Notes and Ticket Notes for a Reserved Seating Venue: https://help.pm.leapevent.tech/a/959483

Seat Notes can be used to notify your patrons of particular characteristics of certain seats in your venue, such as Obstructed View, Accessible Seating, or Companion Seats. Seat Notes that are present in the venue for every event in that space should be indicated during the venue build process. This article will go over how to add a seat note to a particular event that is specific to that event.

If you didn't include these Seat Notes during the original build of your venue and you want to add them so that they apply globally, submit a venue project request and our team can assist. Note that updates to venues may only be reflected in Event Instances created after the venue has been updated.

Ticket Notes can be used to display information on your Point-of-Sale and/or Print-at-Home tickets about individual seats, such as aisle or entry door. If your ticket design layout does not include Ticket Notes, you can use the Ticket Design Tool to add them.

If you want to create a Ticket Note, you can create one using these same steps!

The only difference is that in step 11, you'll select "Ticket Note" as your Type.
