reserved seats
Ticketed seating assignments
Reserved seats are specific places—in a theater, stadium, train, or other venue—set aside for particular ticket holders rather than available on a first-come basis.
The term distinguishes assigned seating from general admission: We have reserved seats, so we don't need to arrive early.
Reserved seating typically costs more and guarantees your spot.
