Give your guests the opportunity to book directly on a seat or on a specific table via an interactive seating plan booking.

Prerequisite for the interactive seating plan booking is the creation of the seating plan according to your specifications.

To create a seating plan, follow these steps:

• Send a draft of your seating plan to our Team
• You will then receive from us a non-binding offer for the preparation of the hall plan. Depending on the complexity, the associated costs average 50- 150€ per seat plan.
• After inspection and acceptance by the organizer, this will be assigned to your account
• The allocated seating plan will then be available free of charge for all your events

To create an event with seating plan booking, proceed as follows:

If you have created an event with seating plan booking, all available seats / tables are released to the online sale.

Sometimes it may be necessary to exclude some of the available seats / tables from the online sale. In this case, the “allotment” function will help you to manage these seats.

Allotments have the following properties:

• Seats booked in a contingent are no longer available online
• Quotas can be set individually for each event
• Places / tables that have been booked into an allotment can, if desired, be sold via direct sales (reservations, cash sales, etc.).
• Places / tables booked in a contingent can be released for sale to third parties
• Places / tables that have been booked in a contingent can be released again at any time. By releasing a place / table, this place / table is immediately available online again.

To create a quota, proceed as follows:

1. Click on “Events” in the main menu (left)

2. Select the desired event for which an allotment is to be created

3. Click the “Allotment” tab

4. Click on “New allotment”

5. Depending on the purpose, choose a short name for the quota, for example. Sponsors, guests, etc.

6. Select the seating plan for which the quota should apply
