Swapping seats

Once a booking has been made, you can move one or more booked seats in a session using the SwapSeats endpoint.

This endpoint currently has the following restrictions:

• Seats can only be swapped to those in the same session and the same area category
• Seats booked in an unpaid booking cannot be swapped
• Bookings with in-seat delivery configured cannot have their seats swapped
• All tickets within a package must be swapped in one call
• You cannot swap to seats already assigned to a booking

Before making a call to SwapSeats, call the GetSingleBooking to return tickets and associated seats, including any package-relationship, for a booking.
