Operation
Delete Venue Layout
DELETE
/venues/{id}/layouts/{layoutId}Permanently remove a venue layout.
You can't delete a layout if any events are using it-you'll need to move
those events to a different layout first. Deleting a layout also removes
all its areas, categories, and seats.
Consider whether you really need to delete it, or if marking it as archived
would be better.
When to use this
- Removing layouts that were created for one-off events
- Cleaning up test layouts
- Consolidating duplicate layouts
Path parameters
idstringRequired- Venue ID
layoutIdstringRequired- Layout 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
Venue layout deleted successfully

Important

Tip
Consider archiving instead of deleting to preserve historical records.
