Seating

Buyers pick their seat on your map

LIVE today Draw your room once as a seat map, with rows, round tables, zones and standing areas. Buyers pick their seat before they pay, or you place your guests after the sale. Seating is on request: ask us and we switch it on for your account.

How do I get Seating?

Ask us. Seating comes with the Business and Whitelabel plans; until those are on sale, we switch it on for your account.

Does every ticket need a seat?

No. Each ticket type is seat-picked by the buyer, placed by you after the sale, or unseated, and all three can share one time slot.

Does a seat change the price?

No. A seat never changes a price or a fee. The price is the ticket type's, so a zone with its own price gets its own ticket type.

Can I use my venue's floor plan?

Yes. Upload it as a PDF or a picture and Scan finds the seats by their shape. Check curved rows, which can come back in pieces.

Can a sponsor buy a whole table?

Yes. A round table can sell by the seat or as a whole, and can carry the sponsor's logo on the map.
