After creating your event with the wizard, use the Event Editor to configure your event in detail. The editor has 17 specialised sections that you can work through in any order. We recommend this three-stage approach:
These are the essential sections you need to configure before your event can go live and start selling tickets. Once these are set up, your event is ready to take bookings.
Set your event's name, tag (Seaty.co.uk/YourTag), type, go-live date, privacy, description, terms, ticket email content, and timezone.
Schedule all event performances with list or week view. Configure single times, time ranges, day ranges, all-day events, and accessibility indicators.
Configure venue location, address, and information including AI-powered descriptions, directions, parking instructions, and virtual event support.
Choose between assigned seating, general admission, or both. Configure barcodes, ticket requests, collection options, admission types, and payment fees.
Create interactive seating plans with visual seat selection. Design layouts on a grid, set categories with pricing, add stages and walkways.
Configure pricing for reserved seating across categories and dates. Set concessions, date-specific availability, and public vs private tickets.
Set up general admission ticket types. Multiple categories share a common capacity, with per-date availability and privacy controls.
Add visual appeal and marketing features. Once your event is functional, these sections help make it look professional and easier to promote to potential attendees.
Upload posters, thumbnails, and promotional images. Auto-optimised and CDN-served, they appear in search results, your event page, and social shares.
Customise your event with a custom colour, header image, sparkles, and backgrounds. Event themes take priority over tour and organisation themes.
Help attendees find your venue with interactive Google Maps and what3words pins for entrances, parking, accessibility, and facility locations.
Create percentage or fixed-amount discount codes. Apply automatically, restrict to ticket types, set expiry dates, and bulk-generate codes.
Promote your event with email marketing consent, signup widgets, post-event surveys, and Facebook Pixel conversion tracking - all GDPR compliant.
Enhance your event with additional capabilities. These optional features let you sell merchandise, collect attendee information, manage member pricing, and share event resources.
Sell programmes, drinks, branded merchandise, and other extras alongside tickets. Group items, set per-date prices and availability, manage privacy.
Gather attendee information at booking. Create dropdown or free text questions, ask per-order or per-ticket, and copy questions between events.
Set sales quotas for member types in your organisation. Track contributions, manage balances, and monitor performance for theatre groups and choirs.
Showcase the people behind your event with photos, names, and roles. Perfect for cast members, production teams, crew, volunteers, and event staff.
Share scripts, sheet music, programmes, and documents with attendees and admins via Dropbox. Separate admin and member folders, with mobile app access.
Track all changes made to your event with an audit log: who made the change, when, and what was modified. Useful for compliance and troubleshooting.
Once you've configured your event sections, complete a test booking to verify everything works as expected. Check that ticket prices are correct, your seating plan functions properly, and confirmation emails look professional. When you're confident, share your event URL and start promoting!
