Draw a seating chart

Venue Designer ·6 min read ·Updated June 2026
You’re here because…

your event has assigned seats and you want buyers to choose their exact spot from a map of the room.

The Venue Designer lets you draw any room once, then attach it to events so buyers pick their exact seat. The editor is a visual canvas — you place rows, seats and areas by hand and it stays crisp at any zoom level.

Create a venue

  1. Go to Venuera → Venue Designer and create a new venue.
  2. Add a row of seats and set how many seats it has; duplicate and arrange rows to match the room.
  3. Label rows and seats (Row A, seat 1…) so the labels match what’s physically on the chairs.
  4. Save the venue. It’s now reusable across events.

The Venue Designer canvas — rows, seats and areas drawn to scale.

Attach it to an event

On the event (or its ticket), select the venue. Buyers then see the map on the event page and pick a seat; the chosen seat is stored on the ticket and printed on it. Sold seats show as unavailable in real time.

It scales to the room

Seats and labels render as live vectors, so a 60-seat studio and a 2,000-seat theatre both stay readable. For very big rooms there’s an overview mode to navigate quickly.
