Hello,
One of my consortium organizations is looking to add stage seating moving forward for one of their facilities. I'm concerned about what this might do to existing shows in the facility, as it requires basically moving all the existing seats further back in the house and adding new seats at the front. There are no rollovers into the facility, so that's not a concern, but I'm worried about this affecting ticket history, since the seats that existed before will no longer exist. If I don't run the Facility Update Scripts, I think all the old seats and history should remain the same, but I'm leary about it.
Has anyone done anything like this?
Matt
Hi Matt,

I successfully moved a few seats by flipping the x/y coordinates. This is a good option because you're maintaining all the existing seat data and essentially just changing the way the maps are displayed. That could give you room for adding your additional stage seats at the front of your map. These moves would affect the look of your past seat maps, but not the numbering/sections/zones/best seat. However, this option would take a lot more testing than simply building a new facility or adding a new screen to your exisiting facility.
Regardless of what you do with your facility, to protect your exisiting ticket history, you could stop running your update ticket history procedure for past seasons.
