New user friendly “pick your own” seat map is intuitive, fast and familiar to many

For Immediate Release

February 4, 2020

Victoria, BC –  The Victoria HarbourCats Baseball Club and 2020 ticketing partner Select Your Tickets are pleased today to unveil new “pick your own seat” functionality on the on-line HarbourCats ticket ordering site at www.harbourcats.com/tickets.

A new seating map will allow fans on any platform (computer, tablet, mobile) to zoom in on the section of their choice and easily select seats for any game, check out quickly and send tickets directly to their device, create print-at-home PDF tickets, or request tickets to be held at the Will Call box office for pick up on the day of the game.

Fans who are familiar with ordering tickets through Select Your Tickets for the Victoria Royals hockey club, or for other events held at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre, will be intimately familiar with the on-line seat selection process as it is virtually identical, with users pulling up a seat map of the stadium and then selecting their location and ticket type before then heading to the check-out process.

With the new on-line seating map, fans will easily be able to see what seats are available, select them and then pick their ticket price type (adult, senior, child) and then proceed to checkout and either print their own tickets or send them direct to their mobile device.

“Our fans will love the new on-line seat selection process,” said Christian Stewart, the HarbourCats Assistant GM for Ticketing and Media.  “It is so much easier and intuitive than  what has been in place for the past few seasons and we are convinced that it will become the number one way fans will purchase tickets for individual games.”

In the new system, fans will easily be able to see where their seats are relative to the playing field, plus early in the 2020 season, functionality will be added for fans to view photographs of what the view will be like from each section.

While the current on-line system is set up only for ordering single game tickets, the HarbourCats and Select Your Tickets will be looking at improvements down the road for fans to order season tickets and 10-game flex packs on-line.

“We want to make ordering tickets of any kind as easy as possible for our fans.” added Stewart, “and this new and improved on-line functionality for single game purchases is a first step in what we know will be a very good relationship with Select Your Tickets, one that our fans will love.”
