Operation
Delete Seat
DELETE
/venues/{id}/layouts/{layoutId}/areas/{areaId}/seats/{seatId}Remove a seat from an area.
This permanently removes the seat from the venue layout. You can't delete
a seat if tickets have been sold for it in any active event.
If you need to temporarily remove a seat from sale, consider marking it as
unavailable in the event instead.
When to use this
- Removing seats that have been physically removed from the venue
- Fixing duplicate seats created by mistake
- Adjusting layout after venue renovations
Path parameters
idstringRequired- Venue ID
layoutIdstringRequired- Layout ID
areaIdstringRequired- Area ID
seatIdstringRequired- Seat ID
Headers
Idempotency-KeystringOptional- Makes the write safe to retry. The first request with a key does the work and its response is stored for 24 hours; a repeat with the same key and the same request (method, path, query, X-Ticketlayer-Channel, TL-Version and body) gets that stored status and body back, marked `Idempotent-Replay: true`, without running again. The key is scoped to your organisation and your credential. The same key with a different request is 422 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED; a repeat while the first is still running waits for it, then answers 409 IDEMPOTENT_REQUEST_IN_PROGRESS if it has not finished. Only a 2xx is stored: after an error the key is free again. Omit the header and the request behaves as it always has.
Returns
Seat deleted successfully

Tip
To temporarily block a seat, mark it unavailable in the event rather than deleting it.
