Releases, post-mortems, and the long road to making seat selection feel obvious. Written by the people building Seatmap.pro.
How long a 34,476-seat stadium takes to open in Seatmap Pro, how zoom holds 60 fps on a mid-range Android phone, and what changed after a mobile memory incident.
Read the storyDraw chamfered and curved venue shapes, rebuild a converted arena from its seats, run event series through the Booking API, and keep embedded saves in draft.
Go from venue schema to confirmed booking with the Booking API, one call at a time: event, prices, map, hold and sale, with the error case at each step.
Stop two buyers from holding the same seat. A server-held booking session owns the seats in its cart and, after payment, sells all of them or none.
Before choosing a ticketing API, check what its seat-map layer exposes. Five criteria from layout reads to hold conflicts, each answered with Booking API v2.
See how a seat map records accessible seats, styles them in the renderer, and where keyboard and screen-reader work belongs to your own page.
How one venue moves through Seatmap Pro: drawn in the editor, published to the renderer, sold through the Booking API, and filled on the night.
Hand a signed-in user from your ticketing site into the Seatmap Pro editor or booking widget without a second login using single-use SSO codes.
A developer guide to SVG for seating charts: viewBox and coordinates, Illustrator and Figma export gotchas, path simplification, and when to rasterize.
Publish one canonical venue schema and pull it into every partner instance: local Venues Library and HTTP federation, snapshot semantics, instance-key auth.
Hold a buyer's seats in a server-side session that survives a reload and cannot be double-booked, queue conversions on the GPU, and retire PDF export.
On-premise vs cloud seating chart software: when data residency, air-gapped networks, or existing k8s tips the choice, and a three-year TCO comparison.
WebGL vs Canvas 2D for seating chart rendering: frame rates on 30k+ seat venues, GPU memory, browser support, and how the Seatmap Pro renderer chooses.
