Features

• Search by ZIP code or your precise browser location.
• Filter by theatre, movie, multiple formats, dates, and times.
• Find adjacent seats in a custom auditorium region.
• Preview normalized seat maps and exclude accessible seats when needed.
• Use guarded API routes with validation, rate limiting, and safe ticket URLs.
