I think the best thing you can do is when a user selected seats, you reserve those seats for 20 minutes or so. In those 20 minutes (or other time interval, the user must finish the reservation proces, otherwise the seats will be available for other users
again.
Based on hans_v's idea. I think you can also set a column called "IsSure" or something else like that.——If someone is sure about booking the seat, he/she can press "Sure" button to book it. otherwise he can only "view", but not sure, this means the seat
can be only viewed (Just like the theory of shooping cart, You haven't decided to checkout you can only view things but you cannot get them...).
