1. Why create tickets with a seating plan?

Some events have seats assigned to each customer to facilitate their placement. The seating plan also allows the segmentation of your offer in order to satisfy your different types of customers (ex: VIP, seating, standing, ...).

Smeetz allows you to create your personalized seating plan adapted to your event, in order to facilitate its organization.

Our team is available to create your seating plan (2.), as this step can be quite complex: support@smeetz.com
