Hello All,
I am trying to get my head wrapped around all of the ADA rules and regulations. We are currently in a theater remodel which will bring us up to compliance with the current laws here in CA. I would like some advise on how people are handling holds and reports. Currently I have blacked out any seats that need to be pulled out if a wheelchair position is sold. ON the SYOS map you can clearly see that there is a space in front of the wheelchair. It is the best method I have found for selling tickets online and making it look as close to the configuration as possible. The problem is that when i run reports for the promoter/programing director those seats show up as removed from inventory skewing my capacity numbers. If i simply "kill" the seats they show up online blocking wheelchairs. What are people doing to work around this? Thank you in advance for any help that anyone can offer.

Horacio-
We use a Hold code; with a seat status of Held - Breakable. We also "kill" the seat next to wheelchair location, as a wheelchair takes up 2 of our seats (but that killed seat is not in our inventory). We then have a Hold Code on the 3rd seat to sell as a companion seat. So we use two different Hold Codes; breakable; and one "killed" per wheelchair accesible seat.
Not sure if this helps you at all-
