When seats are gone, interested buyers leave and book elsewhere. The Waitlist System captures every one of those missed sales automatically — no manual work required. A signup form appears on your event page the moment it sells out When any seat is released, the next person in the queue gets a 30-minute unique purchase link — creating urgency and driving immediate conversions If the link expires unused, the system moves to the next person automatically The Waitlist Manager in your admin shows every entry with name, email, status, and join date Works automatically on order cancellation, refund, and failure 👉 Get the Waitlist Feature in Pro 🔁 PRO: Self-Service Seat Transfer Eliminate seat-swap support emails entirely. Post-purchase seat change requests are one of the most time-consuming support tasks for event organisers. The Seat Transfer system gives customers a self-service form in their WooCommerce My Account page — and gives you full one-click approval control. Customers pick their current booking, search for any available seat, and submit a request You approve or reject with one click — the plugin automatically updates the seating map, the WooCommerce order, and emails the customer A full audit trail note is added to the order for your records 👉 Get Seat Transfer in Pro 👥 PRO: Group & Bulk Booking with Auto Seat Picker Stop losing corporate clients and school groups to friction. Clicking 30 individual seats one by one drives group buyers away. The Group Booking mode adds a “Find Best Seats” toolbar above your chart — just like the airline booking experience your customers already know. Customer enters how many seats they need and clicks “Find Best Seats” The system instantly highlights the best consecutive block of available seats Respects killed seats, soft-locked seats, and already-booked seats Works with theater-style rows and table layouts 👉 Get Group Booking in Pro 📅 PRO: Multi-Date Events — One Map, Every Performance Perfect for festivals, conferences, and weekend workshops. Build your seating plan once and attach a full multi-day schedule. When a customer books a seat, they’re reserving it for the entire event duration — one ticket, one seat, all dates. Add unlimited dates per event The full itinerary appears in the cart, confirmation email, and on the PDF ticket Manage all attendees across all dates from one unified Booking Manager 👉 Get Multi-Date Events in Pro ♿ PRO: Wheelchair & Accessibility Seat Marking Prevent accidental bookings of ADA seats and avoid messy refunds. Standard ticketing systems treat every seat the same — putting dedicated accessible seats at risk of being booked by able-bodied guests. Mark seats as Wheelchair or Companion directly in the map builder High-visibility badges display on the live chart, cart, checkout, and PDF ticket Drastically reduces accidental bookings and compliance headaches 👉 Get Accessibility Seat Marking in Pro 👤 PRO: Guest Name Assignment per Seat Accurate place cards and personalized check-ins for galas, weddings, and VIP tables. When a sponsor buys a table of 10, the billing name is rarely the name of the 10 people sitting there. Without individual names, printing place cards and running door check-ins becomes a logistical nightmare. Attach a specific guest name to each seat after a booking is made Guest names print on the PDF ticket next to their exact table and seat number Export attendee lists as CSV with real human names — not just the company credit card name 👉 Get Guest Name Assignment in Pro 📱 PRO: Apple Wallet & Google Wallet Pass Integration Modern attendees don’t print tickets. Meet them where they already are. Customers who receive a PDF ticket either print it (and lose it) or screenshot the QR code and hope they can find it on event day. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet exist precisely to solve this — a pass lives on the lock screen, updates automatically, and surfaces the moment a customer arrives at your venue. Generates a .pkpass (Apple Wallet) and Google Wallet pass automatically when an order completes An “Add to Wallet” button appears on the Thank You page, in order confirmation emails, and in WooCommerce My Account Every pass includes event name, date/time, venue, seat number, and the existing QR code — no duplicate setup required Zero maintenance for the customer — the pass surfaces on their lock screen when they arrive at the venue 👉 Get Apple & Google Wallet Passes in Pro 🏷️ PRO: Walk-In & Offline Ticket Sales — Manual Order Management Your box office staff shouldn’t need a separate system. Running a live event means customers arrive in ways you can’t always predict. A walk-in at the door, a sponsor calling to book a table for ten, a VIP guest whose ticket needs to be comp’d on the spot. If your only booking tool is the public-facing checkout, every one of those situations creates a problem. The Manual Order system gives event staff a complete, dedicated admin interface to book any seat or GA area for any customer — instantly, without touching the WooCommerce frontend at all. Select any available seat or GA area directly from the live seating map inside WordPress admin Assign the booking to any existing customer or create a guest entry on the spot Every manual booking creates a real, first-class WooCommerce order — it appears in revenue reports, feeds into analytics, and is fully refundable like any other order A scannable QR code ticket is generated immediately, with an optional branded confirmation email sent to the customer Handles walk-ins, phone reservations, comp tickets, and sponsor group bookings from one interface 👉 Get Manual Order Management in Pro
