Interactive Seat Map Software Features
Everything you need to design, render, embed, and operate interactive seating charts at any scale — from a 200-seat theater to a 170,000-seat stadium.
Design — Visual Seat Map Editor
Build a production-ready seating chart for any venue in hours, not weeks. The browser-based editor combines drag-and-drop tools with engineering-grade alignment so a single designer can ship arenas, theaters, stadiums, clubs, and conference halls without round-trips to a CAD operator.
Drag-and-drop seat rows, sections, tables, standing zones, and mixed layouts in a single canvas.
Venue Shape tool aligns rows to the real geometry of curved arenas and stadiums.
Auto Outlines render clean section boundaries with one click; tweak padding and labels inline.
Import existing SVG floor plans from your graphic designer and export back to SVG at any time.
Reusable, version-controlled schemas — duplicate one venue across multiple events and configurations.
Render — WebGL Booking Renderer
A JavaScript seating chart library purpose-built for ticketing. The Booking Renderer paints 10,000+ seats at 60 fps with WebGL, switches level-of-detail automatically as users zoom, and ships with mobile-first interaction baked in. Drop it into any frontend stack with a few lines of code.
WebGL pipeline scales smoothly from a 200-seat theater to a 170,000-seat stadium.
Touch-friendly pan, pinch-zoom, and selection on phones and tablets out of the box.
2D interactive seat map with view-from-seat previews, per-seat status colors, and tooltips.
Framework-agnostic — works inside React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or vanilla JavaScript.
Theme tokens for colors, seat shapes, fonts, and labels so the renderer matches your brand.
Integrate — REST API & JavaScript SDK
Embed an interactive seating chart on any event website or ticketing platform without rebuilding your booking stack. The Booking API v2 handles events, pricing, locks, and confirmations; the TypeScript SDK handles rendering and selection. Your ticketing system stays the source of truth for orders and payments.
Install @seatmap.pro/renderer from npm and mount it on any container element.
Booking API v2 covers events, prices, lock-confirm flow, and real-time availability.
Iframe-embed the visual Editor inside your backoffice with SSO autologin.
WebSocket updates push seat-state changes to every connected client in real time.
Webhooks notify your backend on lock, confirm, release, and cancellation events.
Operate — Multi-Venue, Multi-Tenant, White-Label
Run one installation across many organizations, brands, and venues. Pick cloud SaaS for zero-ops, or self-host with Docker and Helm for full data residency control. Customize every visible surface so customers see your brand, not ours.
Multi-tenant by design — separate organizations, venues, users, and roles in a single deployment.
White-label theming with no Seatmap Pro branding required on customer-facing surfaces.
Admin Renderer for visual pricing zones, bulk seat-state edits, and live occupancy views.
Cloud SaaS or on-premise via signed Docker images and a maintained Helm chart.
SSO via SAML and OIDC, granular per-venue permissions, full audit logs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from event organizers, ticketing platforms, and developers evaluating Seatmap Pro.
Can I integrate an interactive seating plan with my existing event website?
Yes. Install the @seatmap.pro/renderer npm package and mount it on any container in your existing frontend — React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or vanilla JavaScript all work. The Booking API v2 then handles events, pricing, and the lock-confirm flow while your ticketing system retains full control over orders, payments, and customer data.
What is the best JavaScript seating chart library for ticketing platforms?
Seatmap Pro's Booking Renderer is a TypeScript SDK published as @seatmap.pro/renderer on npm. It uses WebGL to render 10,000+ seats at 60 fps, ships with mobile-first interactions, supports custom theming, and is framework-agnostic. It pairs with the REST Booking API v2 for the full lock-confirm booking lifecycle.
Does Seatmap Pro support real-time seat selection and availability?
Yes. Seat-state changes push to every connected client over WebSocket, so two users picking the same seat at the same time see the conflict instantly. The lock-confirm pattern with configurable TTL prevents double-booking, and webhooks notify your backend on lock, confirm, release, and cancellation events.
Does Seatmap Pro offer 3D seat maps or only 2D?
Seatmap Pro renders 2D interactive seat maps optimized for fast selection and high-volume ticket sales. Where 3D is genuinely useful, the renderer surfaces a per-seat view-from-seat preview rather than forcing a full 3D model — most studies show 2D plus view-from-seat converts as well or better than full 3D, with much smaller payloads.
Which venue types does Seatmap Pro support?
Concert halls, theaters, stadiums, arenas, conference centers, clubs, and any mixed layout that combines numbered seats, general admission zones, tables, and standing areas. The editor scales from a 200-seat indie theater to a 170,000-seat stadium without changing tools.
Can I customize seats for different access levels — VIP, accessibility, season ticket holders?
Yes. Each seat carries arbitrary metadata you can use to mark categories like VIP, wheelchair-accessible, restricted view, season holder, or hold-back inventory. The renderer can color, label, or hide seats based on the viewer's role, so different audiences see different versions of the same chart.
Can I deploy Seatmap Pro on-premise instead of using the SaaS?
Yes. The full platform ships as signed Docker images and a maintained Helm chart for Kubernetes. On-premise deployment gives you full control over data residency, network isolation, and version upgrades. SaaS and on-premise share the same APIs and SDKs, so integration code is identical across both.
How does Seatmap Pro handle multi-venue and multi-tenant setups?
A single installation supports many organizations, each with multiple venues, schemas, events, users, and roles. SSO via SAML and OIDC, per-venue permissions, and audit logs make it suitable for enterprise ticketing platforms managing customer brands or for venue groups operating dozens of locations from one backoffice.
