Having trouble getting seating plan right

You need to defined a Seat Decodes file to get the seat “names” right, otherwise the seat names default to the position of the seat in the grid.

You are probably better off using the Seat Relocation syntax for the seating plan (as you already have for the Legends and Images Zones). This gives complete flexibility where the seats are positioned, and means you do not need a seat decodes file.

For example your first two rows would look like this:
[rd4.2]1.1-1.7,[rd4.11]1.8-1.11
[rd5.2]2.1-2.7,[rd5.11]2.8-2.11

Thanks for your pointers Malcolm, all solved

Just for anyone who is interested I ended up using the following:

CSS to ‘insert’ text into ‘STAGE’ image:

#stageshow-boxoffice-ChurchHall-block1:before {
content: “STAGE”;
}

3 separate zones:

Main block definition:

[rd5.5]1.1-1.8,[rd5.15]1.9-1.10,
[rd6.5]2.1-2.8,[rd6.15]2.9-2.10,
[rd7.4]3.1-3.9,[rd7.15]3.10-3.12,
[rd8.4]4.1-4.9,[rd8.15]4.10-4.12,
[rd9.4]5.1-5.9,[rd9.15]5.10-5.12,
[rd10.3]6.1-6.10,[rd10.15]6.11-6.13,
[rd11.3]7.1-7.10,[rd11.15]7.11-7.15,
[rd12.3]8.1-8.10,[rd12.15]8.11-8.15,
[rd13.4]9.1-9.4,[rd13.15]9.5-9.8,
[rd14.3]10.1-10.5,[rd14.15]10.6-10.10
