Seat Mapping
Reserved seating in Vega with Seats.io: interactive seat maps, pick-your-seat checkout, theaters, stadiums, and assigned sections.
Seat Mapping with Seats.io
Vega integrates with Seats.io to provide interactive seat maps for reserved-seating events. Attendees can browse available seats visually and select their exact spot during checkout.
Prerequisites
- A Seats.io account (you can sign up at seats.io)
- Your Seats.io workspace key and secret key
- A seat map designed in the Seats.io chart designer
Connecting Seats.io
- Go to Organization Settings > Integrations.
- Find the Seats.io card and click Connect.
- Enter your Seats.io workspace key and secret key.
- Click Save to complete the integration.
Designing a Seat Map
Use the Seats.io chart designer to create your venue layout:
- Log into your Seats.io dashboard.
- Create a new chart or edit an existing one.
- Add sections, rows, and seats that match your physical venue.
- Publish the chart when finished.
Assigning a Seat Map to an Event
- Open your event in Vega and go to the Tickets tab.
- Enable Reserved Seating.
- Select the Seats.io chart to use for this event.
- Map each ticket type to the corresponding seat categories in the chart.
Attendee Experience
During checkout, attendees see an interactive map where they can:
- Pan and zoom to explore the venue layout
- Click individual seats to select them
- See pricing per section or seat category
- View which seats are available, reserved, or sold
Tips
- Test the seat selection flow end-to-end before publishing the event.
- Use Seats.io’s “best available” feature to automatically assign optimal seats for attendees who prefer not to choose manually.
- For general admission sections within an otherwise reserved-seating event, create a GA area in the chart without individual seats.
