Select multiple seats

Please help me out.
I just bought the developers license hoping that EE was the perfect solution…
I’m having a theatre event. 1000 numbered seats in the venue. Probably the event will be sold out in a few weeks. Clients must be able to pick their seats for them and their families next to each other. When I’m testing, I can only select one chair at a time. How can I let them tick the seats of their choice in the seat selection chart?

If this doesn’t work, I’m doomed…

When trying to configure the rest of EE and seating chart, I’m bumping into another problem: users that buy multiple tickets, have to provide details (name, …) for every ticket…

Hi Maarten,

The seating chart plugin displays a set form fields for each ticket. In this case, where you want to select multiple seats per order, it may require some custom JavaScript to be added where each seat’s form fields get autofilled from the first attendee’s form.

As far as I see, users can’t select multiple tickets at once… That means I can’t use EE for my project :-/

Hi Maarten,

Do you have group registrations enabled or disabled in the Event Espresso event editor?

Yes I did… I can select ‘multiple seats’, but every seat needs to be confirmed first before I can select another seat….

Hi Maarten,
Can you provide a link to what you have set up so far?

Sorry for the delay. I tried configuring EventEspresso, but the seating chart doesn’t work as I thought it would work… So I can’t use EventEspresso for my project.

Hi Henrik,

That’s a pretty cool seating selector. I’ll be sure to add this idea to the feature request list that the dev team will review when the seating chart add-on is rewritten for Event Espresso 4. If this is something your project requires right now, I can recommend contacting one of the recommended developers who specialize in customizing Event Espresso:
