How to Design a Seating Plan on GoJammin
Ostatnia weryfikacja: 6 maja 2026
A seating plan is the visual map of every seat in a venue: where rows are, what shape sections take, and which seats fall into which pricing category. GoJammin's Designer is a full visual editor built right into your organizer panel. Once you save a plan, you can reuse it across as many events as you want.
Opening the Designer
From the organizer side menu, click Seating Plans
Click the button to create a new plan
Give the plan a clear name (e.g., "Main Hall — full layout")
Optionally pick a venue to associate the plan with — this links them in your dashboard
Click Continue — the Designer opens in full screen
What you can build in the Designer
The Designer covers most real-world layouts:
Rows of seats
Straight or curved rows, with custom row labels and seat numbering. Most theaters and concert halls are built this way.
Sections
Visually distinct areas like "Orchestra", "Mezzanine", or "Balcony". Sections group rows together for easier navigation on the customer side.
General admission (GA) areas
Zones with a fixed capacity but no individual seat assignments — useful when part of your venue is reserved seating and part is standing room.
Tables and booths
Round or rectangular tables with chairs around them. Common for gala dinners, jazz clubs, and restaurant-style seating.
Floor plan upload
Drop in a PDF or image of an existing venue blueprint and trace your seats over it. Great when you already have an architect's plan.
Creating categories
Categories are the pricing tiers across your plan. A typical setup has 2–4 categories — for example, "VIP", "Regular", and "Reduced". Each category has a unique color so customers can see pricing at a glance.
Open the Categories panel on the side of the Designer
Click Add category
Give it a name — this is internal, just for you and your team
Pick a color — choose contrasting colors so customers can tell zones apart
Save — the category appears in the panel
Assigning seats to categories
Once your categories are defined, drag-select a group of seats (or click them one by one) and pick a category from the menu. The seats turn the category's color. Repeat until every seat belongs to a category.
Saving and re-editing
Click Save in the Designer to lock in your plan. You can come back and edit it any time from the Seating Plans page — the same plan can be revised over and over.
Designer language
The Designer interface speaks English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Arabic. For other languages, the Designer falls back to English. This affects only the editor UI — your customers always see the chart in their own language.
