Seats

The Seats feature allows you to efficiently oversee events with designated seating arrangements. By using this feature, you can contract seats for your most regular company and event admins or attendees so that they can create and register for events within the same company without using up registration credits.

Adding an attendee to the Seats feature will use up 1 seat credit.

Every time a new user is added to the seat list, a credit will be used for the Seats product in the Billing page.

Once a user is added successfully, the Seats dashboard will display the user's ID, email address, as well as the date and time of their addition:

You can allocate a seat to either an existing attendee in any of the company's event or to a new user who has not yet registered for any event. If a user is allocated a seat before their event registration, it will not incur any registration credit.

To avoid encountering the error message 'Error details: email … is badly formatted' when adding a user, please ensure that you provide a valid and properly formatted email address. See image below:

Bad email formatting

If you see the error message 'Error details: not enough seats available' (shown below) when trying to add a user, it indicates that you need to purchase seat credits. Please refer to our Billing article for more information on purchasing credits.
