Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking countries, it is common for venues to have a "zona de asientos reservados" marked on the seating map. When you ask for them, use a courteous tone and add "por favor" if you want to be extra polite. In some regions, especially in Latin America, the word "butaca" (armchair) may be used instead of "asiento" for theater seats.
