Live Event Seating – Event Ticket Sales, RSVP & Seat Booking

(11 ratings)

Sell Tickets & Collect RSVPs from Your Own WordPress Site — Zero Commission, Zero Coding.

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.

🎟️ NEW: Event Tickets, RSVP & Attendee Registration

Run paid, free, or RSVP-only events with total flexibility — no WooCommerce required for free events!

  • ✉️ Built-in Event RSVP System: Let visitors RSVP “Going” or “Not Going” with real-time capacity limits and seat selection.
  • 🎟️ Free Tickets ($0): Issue digital admission passes with unique ticket codes instantly or route through WooCommerce $0 checkout.
  • 👥 Central Attendee Dashboard: View, search, and filter attendees across all your events from WordPress admin.
  • ✅ 1-Click Door Check-In: Easily check in guests on event day directly from the attendee management screen.
  • 📥 One-Click CSV Export: Download complete attendee rosters with names, emails, phones, ticket codes, and seat numbers for printing or badges.
  • 📧 Automated HTML Email Confirmations: Send branded, professional confirmation emails with event details, venue map location, time, and ticket codes automatically via wp_mail.
