Add Sections, Seats, and Tables to a Seating Chart

How to design your seating chart

Written by Brandon Corbett

To create or edit a seating chart, start by going to your Venues tab. Then, click the "Seating Charts" link on your venue. Seating charts can be created in two styles: without sections or with sections. When you start a new floor plan, you get presented with this screen to make a choice:

Without sections

If you choose the first option, you'll immediately get all the tools to draw bookable objects: seats in rows or as a block of rows, seats at tables, booths and general admission (GA) areas:

Note: Some tools have a little > arrow next to them, indicating there are multiple variants of the tool available. For example: the GA tool allows you to draw rectangular, round or polygon GAs.

With sections

On charts with sections, things are a little different. There you need to first draw a section, and then fill it up with bookable objects.

First step: Use the section tool to draw a section (either as a freestyle shape or a rectangle):

Second step: go to section mode, either by double-clicking the section you just drew, or by selecting it and using the Edit Contents button on the top right:


Third step: In section mode, you see a large version of your section. You now have all the tools you require to draw bookable objects within this section:

Final step: When you're done, click the "Exit Section" button (top left) to go back to your sections overview.

Assign a Category to Your Seats or Sections:

The last step to get your seats ready to sell is to assign a category. Prices are assigned to each category in your event setup (more info here), and you can add as many categories as needed in your chart.

To add or edit categories click "⚙️Manage" in the right-hand toolbar. From there, you can click "Create new category" to add one, setting its name and color, or click an existing one to updates its information.
