Why ticketing platforms pick Seatmap.pro
One installation, many tenants
Multi-tenant by design - separate organizations, venues, users, and roles in a single deployment. White-label theming with no Seatmap branding on customer surfaces.
Data residency on your terms
Cloud SaaS in the EU, or self-host with signed Docker images and a maintained Helm chart. On-premise customers keep all booking data inside their own infrastructure.
Built for AI-assisted integration
TypeScript SDK, OpenAPI-described REST API, and a single AI integration guide at /ai-integration-complete.md mean AI coding assistants can generate working integration code without further lookups.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions on choosing and deploying event seating chart software.
What is event seating chart software?
Event seating chart software lets venues design interactive seat maps and expose them to ticket buyers through a ticketing platform. The strongest tools combine a drag-and-drop editor (with SVG import), an embeddable renderer that mounts inside any frontend, and a REST API for the lock-confirm booking flow. Seatmap.pro covers all three with WebGL rendering for 10,000+ seats at 60 fps.
How much does event seating chart software cost?
Pricing varies by vendor and model. Seatmap.pro Cloud SaaS starts at EUR 400 per year (Starter tier, up to 2,500 confirmed sales per year) with no per-seat fees. On-Premise is a flat EUR 20,000 per year with unlimited scale. Most per-seat-priced competitors become cheaper at low volume but more expensive once a venue passes 30,000-50,000 seats per year.
Can event seating chart software integrate with existing ticketing platforms?
Yes. Seatmap.pro's @seatmap.pro/renderer npm package mounts on any DOM container - React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or vanilla JavaScript. The Booking API v2 handles events, prices, the lock-confirm flow, and real-time availability via WebSocket. Your ticketing system retains full control over orders, payments, and customer data.
Does event seating chart software work for large venues like stadiums?
Yes for the right tool. Seatmap.pro's WebGL renderer handles 170,000-seat stadiums at 60 fps with no per-seat licensing. Per-seat-priced vendors can become prohibitive at this scale. 3D-focused tools handle stadium geometry well but typically charge custom enterprise quotes. The right choice depends on volume, framework, and whether on-premise deployment is required.
Is there a free seating chart maker?
Seatmap.pro offers a free plan for venues, promoters, charities, and community organizations. In exchange, your venue schemas become part of the public Seatmap.pro library that other users can clone as starting templates. Event-level data (prices, bookings, customers) is never published. Paid plans keep your schemas entirely private.
Can event seating chart software be deployed on-premise?
Not all of it. Seatmap.pro ships as signed Docker images and a maintained Helm chart for Kubernetes - the full platform (Editor, Renderer SDK, Admin Renderer, REST API v2) runs inside your infrastructure with the same APIs as the cloud SaaS. Seats.io, AllSeated, and Social Tables are cloud-only as of 2026-05.
