draw the room once

fans pick the exact seat

The seating designer turns complex venues into revenue-ready interactive maps. Draw sections, rows, tables and curves once, publish versions when layouts change, and let fans select exact seats during checkout on Floodlight Events. Holds, blocks and releases stay in sync so you never double-sell the best seats in the house.
