Quick Build in 3 questions
The fastest way to start is Quick Build. It asks three plain questions and lays out the seats for you. You can move things around after.
Open the seating editor for your event and pick Quick Build when the chooser appears.
- How many seats do you need? Enter a rough number — you can add or remove seats later.
- How should they be arranged? Choose rows, tables, or a standing area.
- What are your seat types? Pick from VIP, Premium, Standard, and Economy.
What the four seat types mean
A seat type is just a group of seats that share one price. You give each type a name and a price, then paint it onto the seats you want.
MrStubs gives you four names to keep things simple. Use as many or as few as you need.
- VIP: your best seats, usually the highest price.
- Premium: better-than-standard seats at a step-up price.
- Standard: your everyday seats and the most common choice.
- Economy: your lowest-price seats, often further from the action.
Set your prices
Open the Pricing panel and set a price for each seat type you use. Every seat needs a price before you can publish.
Buyers are charged exactly what you set here. There are no hidden markups on the seat price — what you type is what they pay for the seat.
Publish, and what "locked" means
When your seats and prices look right, hit Publish. Publishing makes the chart visible to buyers so they can pick their seats.
After you publish, the chart locks. A locked chart can't be edited because your event is live and buyers may be choosing seats right then. Locking protects them from seats moving or prices changing mid-purchase.
How to unpublish safely
Need to change a seat or a price after going live? Unpublish the event first. From the seating editor, use Go to publish settings to reach the event's settings, then switch the event back to draft.
Seats people already bought stay safe. Their purchases are kept, so unpublishing to make an edit does not cancel anyone's tickets.
