SeatLayer

npx add-mcp 'https://mcp.seatlayer.io/mcp'

Interactive seating charts and ticketing. Run every event end to end.

Prices, partner seats, online sales, refunds, the box office counter and door scanning all work from the chart you drew. Run it from the dashboard, build it into your own product with the SDK, or have an AI agent such as Claude or ChatGPT draw the chart and set the prices.

From an empty room to the last ticket scanned.

Nine steps, one account, one chart. Every step below is in the product today.

Build

1. Draw the chart Rows, curved rows, round and long tables, booths and standing areas. Trace over your floor plan from a PDF or image, or start from one of 58 templates. Or describe the room to an AI and SeatLayer draws it.
2. Publish Publish stays off until the checks pass. Events already on sale keep the version they started with.
3. Row A, seat 14 · $150 on the map Early release ends Fri 18:00 Event and prices Pick the chart, set the date and currency, and price by category, by ticket type or seat by seat. Schedule ticket releases ahead.

Sell

1. Partner A Sponsor Partners and channels Give a partner its own seats and prices on the map, or import a seat list from CSV. Each partner gets its own report link.
2. Friday · 7:30 PM WordPress · Wix · Webflow · Squarespace · Shopify · HTML Online sales on · closes Fri 17:00 Sell online Share your event page on seatlayer.events, or paste one block into your own site. Buyers pay into your own account with Stripe, PayPal, Square or one of 11 more gateways. Close online sales yourself, or at a time you set.
3. Name, email, phone, order or seat Order 4H7K · 3 tickets $360 Orders and refunds Find any order by name, email, phone, order number or seat. Refund all of it or a few tickets, or cancel without a refund.

3. Ticket type Sold Scanned Total Reports One Excel file with a sheet for each report, or each sheet as a CSV: ticket types, channels, seats, orders and the door list. Partners see their own sales at their report link.

An AI agent

Connect the SeatLayer MCP. The agent draws and publishes the chart, sets prices down to single seats, creates the event and its channels, and reads orders, door counts and report totals.

Works from a chat app, Claude Code (six ready SeatLayer skills), Codex or your own agent. Copilot is built into the Designer.

It asks you first. Before it changes an event on sale, it shows the change in the chat and waits for your yes.

Refunds need an admin. The agent can ask for one; an admin approves it in Orders.

Box office, door scanning and payment setup stay in the dashboard and the app.

Connect an MCP client ↗

You pay only for confirmed seats; holds, house seats and unsold seats are free. See pricing · Only need a layout? Try the free seating chart maker.

We build the seat map engine. Then we sell tickets on it.

Many ticketing tools use a third-party seat map, and seat map SDKs sell no tickets. SeatLayer builds both, so one account covers your website, your box office and your own platform, and a seated ticket costs the same $0.50 as any other.

• Start hosted, add the SDK later Sell on SeatLayer checkout today. Put the same seat picker in your own product later, on the same account and the same chart.
• 3D on every chart Every chart opens in 3D, in checkout and in the SDK, with no conversion step. Buyers look from their seat before they pay.
• Your own payment account Stripe, PayPal, Square and 11 more gateways. Buyers pay you directly.
• Start from your floor plan Upload a plan image or PDF and click it. One click adds a block of printed seats, or a whole section with its seats.
• An editor for real venues Curved rows, tiers, floors, tables and booths, checks before you publish, and Copilot edits you review first.

One published chart. Every surface reads it.

Author the venue once. The same revision becomes the interactive seat map, the 3D view, the live inventory your team watches, the block on your website and the ticket at the door. Nothing is drawn twice.

Friday · 7:30 PM · Reserved seating

One chart: 2,178 seats in 4 price categories, published as revision 3.

Describe the room once.

Describe it to Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude, or start from one of 58 templates. Finish it by hand and publish a reviewed revision that every later date reads.

Explore Venue Designer

Buyers pick exact seats.

Buyers see live availability and prices, ask for the best seats together, and the seats are held while they pay.

Read the SDK quickstart

See the view from any seat.

Optional 3D uses the same published chart and selection state. It loads only when a buyer asks for it, so nothing heavy sits on the first frame, and the complete 2D map is always one tap away. Every seat has a live 3D view from the seat; your own photos and panoramas show where you have them. 3D covers venues up to 60,000 seats.

One live inventory per event.

Every event sells on its own, so a sell-out on one date never slows another. Control Room, Box Office and partner sales channels read the identical seat state.

See how it fits your platform

Or sell it on your own website.

Paste one block into WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or any HTML site. Buyers pick seats and pay through your own payment gateway without leaving your page. No code, no checkout to build.

Sell on your existing website

Every seat is a ticket, online or at the counter.

Hosted Ticketing issues a per-seat QR ticket with PDF and email. Your box office sells from the same map and prints on an 80 mm roll or A4; the door scans the same inventory. On the SDK path, your own ticket delivery takes over.

Built to be trusted with a sell-out.

Every claim links to where it is measured or written down.

One chart, many events. Each date sells on its own, so a sell-out on Saturday never slows Friday.

Scale

Each event has its own live inventory, so a sell-out on one date never slows another. 200,000 seats chart-ready in 1.95 s.

Uptime and status

The status page tests the production API from your browser and shows real response times, not a cached green badge.

Support and SLA

Live chat and hello@seatlayer.io from your first event. Enterprise adds SLA and SSO/SAML; every account gets our DPA. Ask about an SLA.

Security and money

Prices are checked on the server, every workspace is isolated and webhooks are signed. SeatLayer never touches the buyer's payment. Security details.

No chart skills needed

Describe your room. SeatLayer draws the seating chart.

You don’t have to learn a seating chart tool. Say what the room looks like in plain words. SeatLayer checks every row, tells your AI what to fix, and builds a chart you can edit, price and sell from.

1. 01 Describe it to Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or any MCP client.
2. 02 SeatLayer checks it and names every problem by field.
3. 03 You get a real chart: rows, seats and prices you can change by hand or in words.

Questions we get asked.

Still have a question? or email hello@seatlayer.io.

Can I run a whole event on SeatLayer?

Yes. Draw the chart, publish it, set prices, give seats to partners, sell online and at the box office, refund orders, scan tickets at the door with the iPhone app or a phone browser, and download the reports. All of it is in the dashboard. Platforms can put the same pieces in their own product with the SDK.

How is SeatLayer different from seats.io and ticketing platforms?

SeatLayer builds its own seat map engine and sells tickets on it. Seat map SDKs such as seats.io have no ticketing or payments, and many ticketing tools use a third-party seat map. With SeatLayer one account covers checkout on your website with your own payment gateway, the box office, door check-in, and the SDK for your own product.

Can I start with hosted ticketing and move to the SDK later?

Yes. Keep the same account and the same chart. Sell on SeatLayer checkout first, then create new events under the SDK and embed the seat picker in your own product with your own checkout. Each event uses one of the two, so a live sale never changes hands halfway.

Is SeatLayer for small events?

Yes. The same engine renders a 300-seat studio theatre and a 200,000-seat stadium fixture; a small room is simply the easy case. Hosted Ticketing is self-serve from the first event, and Platform/SDK organizations get 100 free confirmed sold seats every month.

Do I need to be a developer?

No. You draw the chart, create the event, connect your payment account, then share your event page or paste one block into your website. The SDK is the developer path, for putting SeatLayer inside your own product.

Where does the money go?

The buyer pays through your own payment gateway, connected to your event. Your provider controls processing fees, applicable taxes and payout timing. SeatLayer bills its own Hosted Ticket charge separately; it is never part of the buyer's payment.

What is the largest venue you support?

There is no published ceiling. Public 100,000-, 150,000- and 200,000-seat venue fixtures were benchmarked on 15 September 2026, with 200,000 seats chart-ready in 1.95 s at 57.6 FPS zoom and 60.0 FPS pan on a desktop production build. Open the public 200,000-seat stadium demo to explore the same scale live. Fixtures, method and SHA-256 manifests: github.com/seatlayer/seatlayer-performance. Renderer evidence is not a concurrent-buyer capacity claim.

Does the embedded SDK replace my checkout?

No. In an embedded integration, your application keeps buyer identity, checkout, payment, tax, refunds, order records, and ticket delivery. SeatLayer handles venue geometry, seat selection, holds, live inventory, booking, and signed webhooks.

What is interactive seating chart software?

Interactive seating chart software lets a team design reusable venue geometry, embed current seat availability, create temporary holds, and confirm bookings through an API. SeatLayer builds that software itself and also sells tickets on it: hosted checkout on your own website, or the same seat map inside your product through the SDK.

Does the 3D seat map replace the 2D map?

No. The complete 2D map remains available. Optional 3D uses the same published chart and selection state, loads only after a visitor asks for it, and is offered when WebGL2 and the evaluated browser context support it.

Is SeatLayer a ticketing marketplace?

No. SeatLayer is not a marketplace and is not a general-admission-only ticketing tool. If you already sell through a platform, check what it covers before moving the seat map elsewhere. For example, read what Eventbrite reserved seating already covers.

How does SeatLayer pricing work?

Start real production sales with $0 upfront: every Platform/SDK organization receives 100 free SDK sold-seat credits each month. After that, one credit is used for each newly confirmed sold seat; rendering, holds, releases, house blocks, and unsold inventory are free. The first paid pack is $50 for 500 credits (10¢ each), with no standard subscription or minimum commitment. Purchased credits do not expire, and the “Powered by SeatLayer” badge is removed automatically after your first credit pack at no extra charge. Hosted Ticketing is billed separately at $0.50 per confirmed Hosted Ticket.

Can an AI assistant help a buyer find and select seats?

Yes. Opt-in buyer WebMCP lets a compatible in-browser assistant inspect an event, find adjacent seats within a budget, select seats and read the selection. Optional holding uses the normal checkout handoff; there is no payment tool. The SeatLayer MCP separately authorizes agents to build charts and run events on one chart or a workspace, and the public knowledge MCP supplies read-only integration guidance.
