A Seat Map is a reusable venue layout stored globally in your library. Once created, it can be assigned to any number of events.

Creating a New Seat Map

1. Navigate to Eventer → Seat Maps in the WordPress admin menu.
2. Click Add New Seat Map.
3. Give the map a descriptive name (e.g. “Main Theatre — 300 seats”).
4. Use the visual builder to add rows and configure each row:
   • Row Label — the letter or label shown on the map (A, B, C…).
   • Number of Seats — how many seats in the row.
   • Seat Naming — numeric prefix and starting number.
5. Create Zones to group seats by price tier (e.g. VIP, Standard, Balcony):
   • Assign a colour to each zone for clear visual differentiation.
   • Each zone can be mapped to a specific Ticket Type when the map is assigned to an event.
6. Click Save Map.

Built-in Map Templates

Eventer ships several built-in map templates (theatre rows, tables, zones) that you can use as a starting point and customise to fit your venue.

Editing an Existing Map

Go to Eventer → Seat Maps, click the map name, make changes, and save. Changes take effect on all future bookings; already-booked seats are not affected.

Note: Deleting a seat map that is currently assigned to a published event will remove seat selection from that event’s booking form. Always unassign before deleting.
