the Events Calendar seating

Sell seats, not just tickets.

The Events Calendar Seating add-on gives you a visual drag-and-drop seating map builder so you can assign seats, manage zones, track capacity, and handle every ticket tier, without custom code or a third-party platform.

An empty auditorium with seats and a stage, a website feature designed with The Events Calendar Seating shows the venue, the address, and the seating chart and the price of purchasing that seat.
