MEC Seat Addon

MEC Seat Addon is a premium extension for WordPress developed by Webnus, the team behind Modern Events Calendar (MEC). Its purpose is to transform event seat management, allowing organizers to design interactive seat maps and attendees to select their exact spot during the booking process. It is designed for theaters, conferences, seminars, galas, concerts, and any activity where the location of each attendee is relevant.

The tool incorporates a canvas-based map designer with drag-and-drop functionality, allowing seats to be freely placed in any position, rotated, and scaled to match the actual venue layout. Rectangular or round tables with adjustable chairs can be generated, along with text labels, shapes, and decorative elements such as stages, VIP areas, or emergency exits. Each seat can be configured as bookable, non-bookable, or hidden, and accessible seats for people with disabilities can be marked, thus meeting important accessibility standards.

One of its most notable features is the assignment of ticket types and prices per seat, seat group, or entire table, with color coding that updates in real time on the map. During the purchase process, attendees see a live interactive map, with tooltips showing the seat label, ticket type, and price. Seats are temporarily held during checkout to prevent double bookings, and the system automatically records all seats sold for each event occurrence, integrating with MEC's booking reports.

The addon also allows copying entire maps between events, including decorations and ticket assignments, and offers a one-click migration tool to convert classic row-and-column designs to the new canvas format, merging already sold seats and performing backups before overwriting. Each event can have its own unique seat layout, providing total flexibility for venues with different configurations.

MEC Seat Addon is the ideal solution for organizers looking to professionalize the booking experience, reduce overselling errors, and offer their attendees a clear, visual, and orderly purchase process, all within the Modern Events Calendar ecosystem.
