Create a seating plan

Create a seating plan

Create a seating plan
Use a seating plan when guests need to choose a specific seat, table, booth or seating area when they book.

Quicket’s seating-plan editor supports rows, tables, booths, General Admission areas and venue features such as stages and balconies.

Before you start

It helps to have a clear venue layout showing:

  • Rows
  • Seat numbers
  • Tables
  • Sections
  • Stage position
  • Entrances
  • Accessible seating
If you already have a digital venue plan, you can upload it and use it as a guide while building your seating chart.
Create your seating chart

Open the seating-plan editor and give your chart a clear name.

Then use the editor tools to create:

Rows
Use rows for traditional reserved seating where seats are arranged in straight or structured lines.
Tables
Use tables when guests book individual seats around a table or when your venue uses table-based seating.
Booths
Use booths for seating areas that are sold as a defined booth or grouped seating section.
General Admission areas
Use General Admission areas when guests book access to a section rather than selecting a specific reserved seat.
Venue shapes and features
Add shapes to represent stages, balconies or other venue features so guests can understand the layout more easily.
Label your seats

Every reserved seat needs a unique label.

For example:
  • A1
  • A2
  • B15
  • Table 4 – Seat 2

These labels are shown to ticket buyers and appear on their tickets.

Avoid duplicate labels. Quicket highlights duplicates because they can cause confusion for guests.
Create seating categories

Categories connect sections of your seating plan to your ticket types.

For example:
  • VIP
  • General Seating
  • Wheelchair Seating

You can link multiple ticket types to the same seating category.

Example
The VIP seating category might offer both:
  • VIP Adult
  • VIP Child
Your ticket types won’t appear correctly on the seating plan unless the seating categories are linked.
Add venue labels

Use text labels to make your layout easier for guests to understand.

You might label:
  • Stage
  • Entrance
  • Balcony
  • Dance floor
  • Bar
  • Accessible entrance
Test before going live

Before publishing your event:

1
Preview the seating plan.
2
Check every seating section.
3
Confirm seat labels are unique.
4
Check that ticket types are linked to the correct categories.
5
Make a test selection to ensure seats behave as expected.
Once a guest selects and successfully books a reserved seat, that seat becomes unavailable to other buyers.
Event capacity with seating plans
For seating-plan events, your available seats and section allocations effectively determine the event capacity rather than a separate overall event-capacity setting.

Finish setting up your ticket types, pricing and event-day access.
