Live Event Seating Lite – Seating Chart, Floor Plan, RSVP & Event Ticket

Stop paying per-ticket fees to ticketing platforms. Live Event Seating lets you sell reserved seats directly on your WordPress site and keep 100% of the revenue — no per-ticket commissions, no coding required. Use the drag-and-drop builder to design your venue’s seating chart, then connect it to WooCommerce for seamless assigned-seat checkout. The free Lite version handles RSVPs and free tickets; upgrade to Pro to sell paid tickets and unlock advanced builder tools like undo/redo, 360° rotation, whole-table booking and seat addon.

Are you paying Eventbrite or Ticketmaster a cut of every ticket sale? Tired of building seating charts in spreadsheets, then manually cross-checking bookings? Live Event Seating solves both problems — for free.

It gives you a drag-and-drop venue builder, a complete Event RSVP & Free Tickets registration system, and a full WooCommerce ticket sales integration, directly inside WordPress. Visitors can pick their seat on a live interactive map, RSVP or claim a free pass instantly, or purchase paid tickets through WooCommerce checkout — while you keep 100% of the revenue.

Works for concerts, conferences, seminars, workshops, church services, galas, auditoriums, comedy clubs, stadiums, school events, and table-reservation venues.

🪶 Purpose-Built Seating, Zero Bloat

Live Event Seating is built specifically for interactive seating charts, seat reservations, and event registration. It does not force a massive event-ticketing ecosystem onto your site: use the built-in RSVP and free-ticket tools on their own, or connect your existing WooCommerce setup when you need paid tickets.

“Fantastic plugin & Outstanding support by Macmonir! The WordPress Seating Chart plugin is an amazing tool. It made creating my very first event incredibly easy. Macmonir is a brilliant developer who goes above and beyond for his users—he guided me through the setup and has always been there to answer every single question I had. Highly recommended!” – jamiva

“This is exactly what we were looking for in a seating chart and reservations plugin. Its easy to use and you can pretty quickly build big arenas. Monir seems really invested on the user feedback and development based from it. He answers quickly and when feedback is well argumented, he also makes changes to the plugin pretty darn fast.” – oddych
