Abstract: The invention is a secured entertainment seating system. Typically the secured seating at theaters, sporting arenas, concert halls, classrooms and convention centers consists of rows of seats fixed to the floor. These seats typically are constructed with seat cushions that automatically fold upward and lock when not in use. The lock will disengage when the correct keycard has been inserted into the keycard reader, which is integrated into the bottom-folding cushion. Accordingly, patrons observing their seating assignments will not have to hassle with claiming their rightful seats from someone who is not in accordance with their seating assignment, which causes disruption and unrest to all those nearby. Additionally venues can be assured that all those in attendance have paid admission to an event, which will prevent annual losses in ticket sales due to people sneaking into events.
