Adding more seats or another date

Selling fast? Add more tickets, or put on an extra performance.

Quick answer: For general admission shows on Stage Stubs, open the showing, click Update next to the ticket and raise the number (up to 10,000). To add another performance, click Copy to a new date on any showing: it works for seated shows too. A seating plan's number of seats can't grow once approved, so email us for extra seats on the same night.

If you're reading this, congratulations: your show must be popular! How you add more depends on whether people sit anywhere (general admission) or choose seats from a seating plan.

Adding more tickets (general admission)

  1. Go to My Events and click View next to your event.
  2. Scroll down to your showings and click View showing for the date you'd like to add to.
  3. In the Tickets section, click Update next to the ticket.
  4. Change the number of tickets (up to 10,000) and click Save.

You can lower the number too, if you need to. Only unsold tickets are ever taken away, so nobody loses their place.

Adding another performance

This is often the easiest way to meet demand, and it works for both general admission and seating plans. Open the showing you'd like to repeat and click Copy to a new date. Choose the new date and time and save. The prices and tickets are copied across for you, and seated shows reuse the same seating plan, so there's nothing else to set up.

Why seating plans can't simply grow

Once a seating plan has been approved, its seats are fixed. If you need extra seats on the same night (perhaps the venue has let you add a row), there are two ways to do it.

The simplest is to set up a second event for the same date and venue with just the extra seats. Email us and we'll build that plan for you.

Alternatively, you can start again with a bigger plan. This works best if nothing has sold yet. If tickets have already sold, you'd need to cancel and refund, which needs a saved card, so please talk to us first and we'll help you choose. (See: Cancelling an event.)

Common questions

Can I reduce the number of tickets? Yes. Only unsold tickets are removed.

Does copying a date copy the prices? Yes, prices and tickets come across too.
