# Seating Plan Explained

## For events with allocated seating

A **Seating Plan** is an interactive map of your venue showing row labels and seat numbers. This allows attendees to choose their preferred seats when purchasing tickets.

Seating plans are available **only for paid events with allocated seating**. You provide an image or layout of your venue, and our support team will create the seating chart based on the details you supply.

---

### Providing Details for Your Seating Plan

To ensure accurate creation of your seating plan, provide the following information:

- A clear image or diagram of the venue showing all rows, seats, or tables
- Total number of rows and seats per section (if the venue has multiple sections)
- Number of accessible or wheelchair spaces
- Any adjustments to the provided layout (e.g., seats to add or remove)
- Pricing details: ticket variations (adult/child/etc.), price differences by seating type, age restrictions, or free tickets (e.g., children under 3)
- Providing all details upfront ensures our team can complete your seating plan quickly.

📝 Important notes

**Stage Stubs charges a booking fee per ticket**, which varies by buyer location. You can use [our pricing calculator](https://stagestubs.com/pricing) to ensure your ticket price matches your intended total cost for buyers.
