Overview
Events with assigned seating need more than a ticket counter. Guests want to see where they will sit, and organizers need to avoid double bookings. This add-on works with EventON Tickets and WooCommerce, so visitors pick seats on a map and buy them straight from the event page. It suits theater performances, conferences, banquets, seminars and trade shows.
Organizers build the seat map in an admin editor with drag-and-drop controls. You can upload your own venue layout as a background, create as many seat sections as you need, and set prices for single seats or whole areas. Seats can be reserved for VIP guests or marked handicap accessible. A cart timeout releases seats when a buyer leaves checkout, and zoom and pan controls keep the map usable on phones and desktops.
Features
- Interactive seat map: Customers select and buy tickets for specific seats on a map shown inside the event page, so they can see exactly where they will sit before checkout.
- Custom venue backgrounds: Upload your own venue layout as the map background so the seating chart matches your physical space, with legends and custom colors to explain seat categories.
- Pricing by seat or section: Set a separate price for an individual seat or for an entire section, which lets you match prices to seat location and event type.
- Reserved and accessible seats: Hold seats for VIP guests or organizers so they stay unavailable for general purchase, and mark seats as handicap accessible for attendees who need them.
- Cart timeout for seats: Set how long a cart can sit idle before its seats are released, with a default of 10 minutes, so abandoned checkouts do not block availability.
- Unassigned and booth sections: Create general admission areas where attendees choose any spot or stand, and use booths to represent trade show vendors, food carts or cabins.
- Seat map import and export: Download seat map JSON data to make bulk changes or reuse a layout across multiple events. Existing events can also be duplicated with their seat maps.
- Round tables and section controls: Support for round table seating, section positioning fields, size inputs for areas of interest and a side panel for seat edit options give finer control over layouts.
