Overview

Holds are reusable access groups for seating restrictions. You can apply holds to seats (and optionally general admission spaces, depending on feature context) so only permitted users can sell those spaces in operational tools such as box office flows.

ContextBehaviour
Seats onlyHolds can restrict seat-based spaces.
Seats + general admissionsHolds can also be applied to general admission spaces (with hold-level stock controls at event level).

Managing Existing Holds

The holds index shows operational metadata for each hold:
  • Number of associated users
  • Number of events using the hold
  • Number of seating plans where the hold is applied
You can:
  • Edit hold details
  • Soft delete and restore holds
  • Filter seating plans by hold usage from the seating plans list

Holds on the Event Dashboard

New in Release 45
When an event uses a seating plan with holds applied, hold data is displayed directly on the event dashboard. Each hold shows its name, ID, and capacity information — making it easy to check hold usage at a glance without navigating to the seating plan.

Relationship To Event Operations

This page covers hold setup and administration. Applying holds to event spaces (status changes, GA hold stock, and event-level restrictions) is covered in Seated Events.
