Seat maps and reserved seating

Give a ticket type reserved seats in MJX Events — rows and seats per row, gaps for aisles, buyers pick seats, and the seat prints on the ticket.

A seat map lets buyers choose their exact seat, like a cinema. In MJX Events you turn it on per ticket type and give it rows and seats.

#How to set up a seat map

  1. Open Tickets in Setup and tick Reserved seats (seat map) on a ticket type.
  2. Fill in Rows (A, B, C…) and Seats per row.
  3. Under No seat here (aisle, pillar), e.g. A-1, B-10, list seats that don't exist. "Leave empty if every seat is there."

The quantity of the type becomes the number of seats, and people per ticket becomes 1.

#What buyers see

Under the seated ticket: Choose seats (or get the best available). The map shows the stage at the top, taken seats in grey and gaps blank.

  • If the buyer picks nothing, they get the best available — side by side in the frontmost row with room.
  • If someone took a seat a moment earlier: "Row B · Seat 5 was just taken. Pick another seat."
  • If a buyer pays after the 10-minute hold, they get the same seats if still free, else the best ones left.

#Where the seat shows

  • Order page ("Row B · Seat 4"), ticket PDF, email and WhatsApp
  • Printed passes (they take the best seats in order)
  • The gate scanner, and Attendees ("Gold · Seat B-4")
  • The CSV export (Seat column)

The website's counter UPI QR sale lets you pick seats; the app's counter sale gives the best available. Imported QR codes get no seat.

#Rules

  • A seat already held or sold can't be removed from the map.
  • The map can't be removed once seats are given.
  • Duplicate this event copies the map with every seat free.

#Questions people ask

I can't see Reserved seats in Setup. Why?

Seat maps are switched off for everyone unless MJX switches them on, and they are a Pro tool. When they are off, nothing about seats shows.

Can the same seat be sold twice?

No. A seat belongs to one checkout or ticket at a time; seats of unpaid, failed or cancelled orders come free again by themselves.

Can a couple ticket have reserved seats?

No. Each seat is one person, so people per ticket must be 1 for a seated type.
