Delete Layout Area
DELETE
/venues/{id}/layouts/{layoutId}/areas/{areaId}Remove an area from a venue layout.
This permanently deletes the area and all seats within it. You can't delete
an area if there are active events using this layout with tickets sold for
seats in this area.
If you need to temporarily remove an area from sale, consider updating its
status instead of deleting it.
When to use this
- Removing a section that's been permanently closed
- Cleaning up test areas during layout setup
- Restructuring a venue layout
Parameters

Response

Notes
⚠️This deletes all seats in the area. Make sure no events are using these seats.
💡Consider hiding the area from sale instead of deleting if you might need it later.
