Selecting a Seat

a) To select your seats using the Virtual Venue map, click on the preferred 3D section in the map. This will zoom in on the area and all available seats will be highlighted in green.

Hovering over a seat provides a view of the stadium from the seat, as well as the section, row and seat details. The number of seats selected in the quantity selector are highlighted in blue when hovering over and will be added if the seats are selected.
