Overview
For events with assigned seating, a clear map can help guests understand the layout and choose a specific spot. This add-on lets organizers build interactive seat maps for EventON events, with sections, individual seats, and areas for unassigned seating. A custom background image can represent the venue, while colors and legends help explain seat categories or statuses.
Organizers can set different prices for individual seats or whole sections, reserve seats for select guests, and mark accessible seating. Attendees can zoom and pan around the map on desktop or mobile devices. The add-on works with EventON Tickets and WooCommerce, and seat availability tracking can release seats after a configurable cart idle period.
Features
- Interactive seat maps: Guests can view an event's seating plan and select specific seats from the map as part of the ticket purchasing process.
- Custom venue backgrounds: Upload a venue layout image to use as the background for a seating chart, helping represent the event space.
- Seat and section pricing: Set distinct prices for individual seats or entire sections to reflect different locations within the venue.
- Reserved and accessible seats: Mark seats as reserved for VIP guests or organizers, and identify seats intended for attendees with accessibility needs.
- Unassigned seating areas: Create sections where attendees can choose any available spot or stand, with capacity and custom pricing for general admission.
- Seat map editing tools: Use the admin editor to create and update seat maps with drag-and-drop controls, section positioning fields, and seat editing options.
- Seat availability controls: Track seat availability and set a cart idle duration that releases seats when a customer leaves checkout without completing the purchase.
Best for
- Theaters and performance venues
- Conference and seminar organizers
- Trade shows with vendor booths
