Tickera Seating Charts

Selling numbered tickets with a "choose your zone" form ends in phone calls, emails and two people holding the same seat at the door. Someone buying a ticket for a theater or a gala wants to see the plan and point at their seat. This add-on turns your venue layout into a map the buyer can click.

Why the floor plan is part of what you sell at a seated event

At an event with numbered seats, location is part of the product, not a logistical detail: row 3 and the back of the hall are not worth the same, and buyers know it. If they cannot see where they will sit, they hesitate, ask questions or buy something else. Tickera Seating Charts lets them see it before paying, with the venue drawn as it really is, and lets you assign different ticket types to each zone.

A floor plan editor you use by dragging

The chart is built with drag and drop: you can move, resize and rotate any element, and what you draw is exactly what the customer will see. The available elements are:

• Seating groups: rows and columns you can edit on the fly, assigning or removing ticket types.
• Standing areas: areas for concerts or festivals to which you assign a ticket type.
• Tables: round or square, with seats around them, for banquets, galas or dinner shows.
• Seat labels: you set them one by one, or select several seats and Tickera numbers them automatically.
• Areas of interest and text areas: entrances, exits, restrooms, food and drink stands, or notes such as the name of an aisle.

You can mix seats, tables and standing areas in the same chart, and mouse-wheel zoom and pan controls help with large venues, for the buyer too on the purchase page.

Three situations where it fits

Theater or small venue

You draw the stalls, the balcony and the aisles, label the rows and assign a ticket type to each section. You can give every seat its own ticket type if you want per-seat pricing, and there is no limit on ticket types per chart.

Concert or festival with mixed zones

You can define seated sections (VIP, reserved, balcony) and standing areas (general admission, pit) in the same chart. The buyer sees both options on the event page and picks the one they prefer.

Gala dinner or banquet

You place round or square tables, distribute the seats around them and mark the stage or bar with areas of interest. It helps when every guest needs to know which table to go to.

How the buyer experiences it

The flow is short: pick one or several seats, add them to the cart, go to the cart and finish the purchase. Availability updates in real time through Google Firebase: as soon as someone puts a seat in their cart, everyone else sees it as unavailable, even if that person has not paid yet. This prevents two people from choosing the same spot. Once published, the chart stays editable: move, duplicate, delete, rotate, change text or start from scratch. You place it on any page or post with a shortcode or a Gutenberg block.

It needs the Tickera plugin as its base

It does not work on its own: it is an add-on for the Tickera plugin, which handles the ticket sales. WooCommerce is not required; it works with Tickera alone. If you already sell with WooCommerce, there is the Bridge for WooCommerce add-on, with which the buyer picks a seat and pays in your store. And since availability depends on Google Firebase, check in the demo how it behaves with your own chart before launching sales.
