MEC Seat

Events with assigned seating need more than a ticket counter. Organizers have to match the layout of a real venue, decide which seats can be sold, and see what is still open. MEC Seat adds that layer to Modern Events Calendar, so a theater, conference hall or festival can offer seat-by-seat booking on the same site as its event listings.

You can design one general seating layout for all events or adjust the plan for a single event. Seats and rows can be bookable, non-bookable or hidden, and ticket types can be assigned to individual seats or entire rows. Buyers see seat details as they choose, while you get an overview of the venue and reports on booked seats.

Features

• Detailed seating plans: Design a general seating layout for all your events, or customize the plan for each individual event so it matches the setup of your venue.
• Seat and row statuses: Mark seats or rows as bookable, non-bookable or completely hidden, which gives you control over what attendees can select during booking.
• Ticket types by seat or row: Create distinct ticket categories and assign them to specific seats or rows, for example to separate VIP areas, regular seats and discounted sections.
• Venue overview with stats: See your venue plan with details such as empty seats and color-coded availability, which makes it easier to follow booking progress.
• Seat tooltips for buyers: Attendees see detailed seat information in a tooltip when they hover over a seat during booking.
• Row labels and complex layouts: Build layouts with labels for each row, so different seating zones stay clear and easy to tell apart.
• Import and export plans: Export a seating chart and import it into the main settings or into a specific event, so you can reuse layouts quickly.
• Booked seat reports: Generate reports that list all booked seats, which helps you keep track of bookings for each event.
