Update Seats for Allocated Seating Events

If your event uses an allocated seating plan, seats cannot be added once the event has been published. Seating plans are fixed and can’t be expanded after tickets go live.

If you need to sell more seats for an event with allocated seating, you have two options:

Option 1 - Create an additional event

Set up a second event with the same time and location, and include the extra seats or rows in that new seating plan.

Option 2 - Cancel and recreate the event

This option works best if no orders have been placed yet.

If orders already exist, you can either:

• Refund customers and ask them to repurchase tickets for the new event, or

• Create a new event with a larger seating plan, mark previously sold seats as unavailable, and let buyers know their original tickets will still be honoured.

Whether you're adjusting General Admission capacity or working around seating plan limits, Stage Stubs gives you flexible options to manage ticket availability. If you’re unsure which option suits your situation, feel free to reach out -we’re always happy to help!
