When you go to make a new order, you will see a black circle around a seat to denote that it is reserved. If you hover over the seat, you will also see the name you attached to the reservation. You can add them to your cart from this screen by clicking them as you would a regular sale. However, the seats will appear unavailable to the general public when they purchase tickets.
