Are you running concerts, festivals, or events with standing-room sections? Selling General Admission for WooCommerce can be a challenge. How do you manage capacity? How do you show customers what they are buying? We are excited to announce a powerful new feature in our Live Event Seating plugin that solves this problem perfectly. You can now create, manage, and sell tickets for General Admission (GA) areas right from your visual seating chart.
This tool is designed to be both powerful for you and simple for your customers. It seamlessly integrates capacity control with your WooCommerce store. Therefore, you can sell GA tickets with complete confidence, knowing you will never oversell your event.
Create Any GA Zone You Need
Every venue is different. That’s why our tool gives you total freedom to define your General Admission spaces. You are no longer limited to just selling seats. Now, you can easily add standing-room areas to any event layout.
With this new feature, you can:
- Add Rectangular Zones: Quickly create standard GA areas for simple spaces.
- Draw Custom Shapes: Use our new freeform drawing tool to map out a GA zone that fits any unique space, like an outdoor field or a club’s dance floor.
This flexibility ensures your seating chart is a true representation of your venue. As a result, customers can clearly see the standing sections and make their purchase decision with ease.
Automatic Capacity Management
The biggest challenge with selling General Admission for WooCommerce is controlling the number of tickets sold. Our plugin now handles this for you automatically. When you create a GA area, you simply set its total capacity.
Here’s how the magic works:
- Set Your Limit: Enter the maximum number of people allowed (e.g., 500).
- Real-Time Tracking: The system automatically tracks every GA ticket sold through WooCommerce.
- Show Availability: The map instantly updates to show customers how many spots are left (e.g., “450 / 500 Available”).
- Prevent Overselling: Once the capacity is reached, the area is automatically marked as “Sold Out,” and no more tickets can be sold for it.
This robust inventory control gives you peace of mind. Moreover, it creates urgency for customers as they see the number of available tickets decrease. To learn more about advanced event management, check out this excellent resource from Eventbrite.
A Simple Booking Experience for Customers
While the backend is powerful, the experience for your customers is incredibly simple. They don’t need to click individual spots in a standing area. Instead, the process is streamlined for quick booking.
When a customer views your event, they see the GA area clearly marked on the map. In the selection panel, they can simply enter the number of GA tickets they want. The system will prevent them from entering a number higher than the available capacity. This intuitive process reduces friction and leads to more completed sales.
