Description
The Seat add-on adds a seating chart builder to Modern Events Calendar Pro, with general plans or event-specific layouts, seat status, and assignment of ticket types by row or seat. With this additional module, theater and auditorium organizers, in-person course providers, and events with assigned seating can sell defined seats, hide unavailable positions, and view reports with reserved seats.

Seat Benefits
- More Organized Sales

Who Is It For?
- Event producers with assigned seating sales.
- Theaters, auditoriums, classrooms, and venues with defined seating.
- Administrators who use Modern Events Calendar Pro to manage reservations.
Seat is recommended when standard quantity-based reservations aren’t enough and the event requires visual control of the physical space. The extension helps turn the calendar into a seat-selection flow, with identified rows, configurable seats, information shown to the buyer in tooltips, and useful reports to track which positions have already been reserved.
