Is it possible to add/label a row to the sections of seats?

FAQ & Troubleshooting · 2 min read · Updated May 21, 2026

you’re using the Seating Charts add-on and want to label each row (Row A, Row B, Row C…) so attendees know exactly where to sit — and the labels need to appear both on the seating chart and on the printed ticket.

Yes — row labels are built in

The Seating Charts add-on supports row labels natively. The mechanic is a two-step assign: pick the row, assign a ticket type, then re-select the same row to expose the labeling options.

Step by step

  1. Open Tickera → Seating Charts and edit (or create) the chart.
  2. Draw your rows of seats as usual.
  3. Click a row to select it.
  4. Pick a ticket type to assign to that row.
  5. Click the same row again — this is the key step that exposes the row-numbering controls.
  6. Set a prefix (the row letter — A, B, C, or whatever scheme you use) and the starting number (usually 1).
  7. The add-on auto-numbers the seats: A1, A2, A3… for the rest of the row.
  8. Repeat per row.

Getting labels to print on the ticket

The labels store on the seat object itself. To make them visible on the printed PDF ticket, add the Ticket Type element to your ticket template (Tickera → Ticket Templates → edit). The seat label automatically appears in parentheses next to the ticket-type name:

VIP Ticket (A14)

If you’d prefer the seat number as its own standalone element rather than appended to the ticket-type name, see the seat number ticket-template element — a small add-on that gives you a separate draggable “Seat Number” field on the template.

Common labeling schemes

  • Letter row + number seat (A1, A2, B1, B2) — the default and most common.
  • Number row + number seat (Row 1 Seat 5) — use numeric prefix instead of letter.
  • Section + row + seat (Orchestra A1) — encode section into a custom-text element on the ticket template, then row + seat via this mechanism.

Larger venues

For multi-level venues (stadium with stands, theatre with balcony) the same labeling works — see creating large, elaborate seating chart layouts for the multi-level workflow. Each level can have its own row-labeling scheme.
