– Seat number ticket template element

Solutions · 2 min read · Updated May 21, 2026

you’re using the Seating Charts add-on and want the assigned seat number to appear as its own distinct element on the printed PDF ticket — not as part of the ticket-type name in parentheses. Useful when you want the seat printed large and prominent (separate font, separate size, separate position) where the attendee’s eye lands first.

Default behaviour: seat in parentheses

Out of the box, when you place the Ticket Type element on a ticket template and the buyer chose a seated event, the seat label is appended to the ticket-type name automatically:

Orchestra Premium (A14)

For many events this is fine — one element, two pieces of info, compact layout.

The add-on: separate Seat Number element

If you want the seat as its own standalone, independently styleable element:

  1. Download: seat-number-template-element.zip
  2. WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, install, activate.
  3. Open Tickera → Ticket Templates, edit your template.
  4. A new draggable Seat Number element appears in the palette.
  5. Drag it onto your template where you want the seat printed.
  6. Style independently: font size, font family, colour, position.
  7. If you also have the Ticket Type element, the seat will appear in both places — you may want to use the standalone Seat Number element and remove or modify the Ticket Type element so the seat isn’t duplicated.

Common layouts using a standalone seat element

  • Big seat number, top of ticket. Attendee glance → instant seat. “A14” in 48pt font at the top.
  • Seat number next to the QR code. Door staff see seat number same time they scan.
  • Seat number bold, ticket-type name small. Useful when ticket type is generic (“Adult ticket”) and the seat is what really differentiates the experience.

Where the value comes from

The seat label is set when you assign ticket types to seats in Tickera → Seating Charts. See adding row labels to seats for the prefix-and-number mechanism that produces values like A1, A2, B1, etc.

Works in standalone and Bridge mode

The element hooks the Tickera template builder directly, so it works whether you’re running Tickera standalone or with Bridge for WooCommerce.
