ARENA & STADIUM SEATING SOFTWARE
Stadium-scale seating. Every seat connected.
Seat maps and ticketing for stadiums, arenas and large concerts. Buyers go from the whole bowl to a section to an exact seat without getting lost, and web, mobile, partner and box office sales all share one live inventory. Try the public 200,000-seat stadium.

READABLE AT EVERY SCALE
Show the right detail for the decision in front of the buyer.
A 60,000-seat bowl is too much to take in at once. Buyers start with the part of the venue, zoom into a section, then pick their exact seats. The map shows only the detail that helps at each step.

ONE EXACT SEAT
3D helps buyers get their bearings. They can fly to a seat in 3D and see the view, while the same seats stay selectable on the 2D map.

ONE PUBLISHED CHART
Floors · zones · sections · seats
3D venue
Height, levels and direction, loaded when a buyer asks for it.
Both views read the same event inventory and return the same selected seats.
ONE CHART · TWO VIEWS
The spatial view and the sellable map stay connected.
Draw the venue once. Floors, sections, seats and prices feed both the flat map and the optional 3D view.
- 2D always works. Switching floors and picking seats never needs 3D.
- 3D loads only when asked. Older browsers stay on the normal map.
- Same seats in both. Changing view never changes what is free or selected.
AUTHOR THE PHYSICAL VENUE
Build it by floor and section. Publish it as one map.
Big venues stay easy to edit when the chart follows the building.
Each floor on its own, one inventory.
Edit the lower bowl, club level and upper deck separately. They all publish together and sell as one event.
Fill a section with rows.
Draw the section outline, set the seat count and spacing, and the rows are laid out for you. Every row stays editable.
Seat labels stay safe.
Every seat label is unique, and once a chart is live, edits that would break sold tickets are blocked.
OPERATE CAPACITY AS ONE EVENT
Hold back a deck without maintaining a second chart.
Close a section, hide a deck, or release seats later. Buyers and staff see the change at once, on the same event.
Open, close, or hide
Change a section straight away. Hidden seats leave the map; closed seats stay visible but cannot be bought.
Release at a set time
Keep seats hidden until a set time, then release them without touching the chart.
Reveal at a sold threshold
Open the next section automatically once the current ones are, say, 90% sold.
Block production inventory
Take camera positions, sponsor seats or broken seats off sale one by one.
Running the house? Staff get short-lived access to only the controls their role needs. No account secret key belongs in the browser.

Sales channels & partners
Invite partners and run every sales channel from one dashboard.
Big events rarely sell through one door. Set aside seats for sponsors, agencies, presales and the box office, invite each partner with their own login, and watch every channel sell from the same live seat map. It works whether you sell with SeatLayer or through your own checkout with the SDK.
- Set aside exact seatsGive sponsors, agencies or members their own block of seats.
- Invite partnersEach partner gets its own login and role, and sees only its seats.
- Prices per audienceMember or agency prices only where they differ.
- Private linksSend a buyer link for a presale or a group.
- Move unsold seats liveRelease unsold partner seats to the public at a set date.
- Report per channelEach partner sees its own sales; you see everything.

A 3D stadium seating chart, seat by seat
Buyers orbit your stadium or arena in 3D and jump into any seat for a stadium seat view before they pay: the pitch, court or stage from there, with section, row and seat number. It comes from the same chart you sell from, for venues up to 60,000 seats.

Still have a question? or email hello@seatlayer.io.
Is SeatLayer suitable for a 50,000-seat stadium?
Yes, and it is tested far above that. On 15 September 2026 we measured 200,000 seats chart-ready in 1.95 s on a public stadium, and on 18 September one event handled 10,000 buyers at once with a 9 ms seat hold (p99) and zero server errors. Open the 200,000-seat stadium or 100,000-seat arena demo and try it yourself.
Can SeatLayer handle multi-floor arenas and stadiums?
Yes. One chart can hold several named floors, such as the lower bowl, club level and upper deck. They publish together and sell as one event.
How do buyers navigate a very large seating chart?
In three steps. Buyers pick the part of the venue first, then a section, then their exact seats. The map shows only the detail that helps at each step, so a large bowl never becomes a wall of dots.
Is 3D required to select a seat?
No. The complete 2D map and floor controls remain available. Optional 3D is lazy-loaded only when requested, and only on browsers that support it.
Can operators hold back or release whole sections?
Yes. Staff can open, close or hide a section at once, release it at a set time, or open it automatically once other sections sell to a set level. Single seats can be blocked one by one.
Does SeatLayer replace our ticketing or venue-management system?
It does not have to. With the SDK, SeatLayer runs the seat map and live seats, while your system keeps payment, orders, tickets, refunds, fan records and support. Or sell with SeatLayer directly: your own payment gateway, the event page, the box office and door check-in, at $0.50 per ticket.
