Overview
MEC Seat helps event organizers map venue seating and manage which seats attendees can book. Create a layout for general use or tailor a seating plan to a specific event. The canvas builder gives organizers a way to arrange a venue map, while seat and row labels help distinguish sections and seating areas.
Control each seat by setting it as bookable, non-bookable, or hidden. Assign ticket categories to seats or rows, and use seat tooltips to show buyers additional information while they choose a place. Venue summaries show empty seats and color-coded availability, and booking reports list reserved seats for event planning.
