I think you could get that information in there in an intelligible way. The little colored dots may not be the best way, but it would work--as long as you could clearly differentiate between the occupied and unoccupied seats. I'm thinking fade out the occupied seats to maybe 25% of their current brightness (and get rid of the little person in them--until I blew the image up, I just thought the seat had bumps on it or was, as
serfty said, a bunch of lego blocks) and then add the little dots (also faded out)
Really, it gets back to the core: when doing web design, you need to hire a good graphic designer to make everything work together.
