Can I create an Availability Status for a GA Event?
Not on a standard General Admission Venue Plan. If you would like to do Holds for GA Events there, the best option is to create a Hold Price Band on your Price Table and assign it a capacity, which you can release when you'd like those Tickets to be available.
The exception is a Hybrid Venue Plan, where an Availability Status can be applied to a General Admission Block space, as well as to Sell Together Blocks and individual seats.
