New: Secondary marketplace โ€” say goodbye to viagogo & scalpers
Seatmap Designer

Every hall, every stadium, every venue โ€” by drag and drop.

Theaters in Vienna, concert halls in Amsterdam and festival stages in Berlin build their seatmaps in Tickable without external tools. Reserved seats, free areas, accessible seats and sightline notes โ€” all in browser.

The problem

Seatmaps are often the biggest onboarding blocker in ticketing.

Legacy ticketing providers require you to deliver your venue plan as a CAD file, then build it in a multi-week process via a third party. Changes cost extra. Anyone seasonally re-seating their venue pays again every time.

The result: organizers stop changing anything. A flexible venue becomes a static limitation โ€” and sales opportunities are lost.

The solution

An editor that feels like Figma โ€” only for seatmaps.

You build your map yourself, in real-time, in browser. No external designers, no PDF back-and-forth, no waiting. When your venue changes, you change the plan in 10 minutes.

Why a great seatmap drives conversion and buyer satisfaction.

The seatmap is the most important sales trigger in the reserved-seating business. Buyers want to see what they're buying โ€” and they want to see it fast. A slow, unclear or outdated seatmap drives abandonment because buyers can't tell where they'll sit or whether the view is good.

Tickable renders even plans with 50,000+ seats smoothly in any browser. Buyers can zoom in, hover individual seats and instantly find the best available row for their group. This lowers abandonment and lifts average sale price, because buyers are more willing to pay for clearly-better seats.

Reserved seating in Europe โ€” what theaters and concert organizers must consider.

In the European theater market, numbered seats are standard. Buyers expect to see their seat before buying. Tickable maps this expectation perfectly and adds modern features like best-available search, sightline categories, and integrated accessibility.

Hybrid plans: the best of both worlds.

Many events combine reserved seats on the tribune with standing seats on the floor. Tickable supports these hybrids natively โ€” no workarounds, no separate plans. A buyer can buy a reserved seat and a GA ticket for a companion in the same checkout.
