Simplicity in Design

Impress your audiences with an experience as extraordinary as your performances.

Venue Builder™

Adding custom seat maps and custom configurations of your venues is now as simple as drag and drop.

Highly Configurable

Configuration in Venue Builder, not customization in your code means you are always in control.

Mobile First, Accessible

Truly mobile-first design that is cross-browser compatible and fully responsive.

SmartSeat Features

SmartSeat provides your Tessitura organization the ability to build true-to-life venue seating charts and seat maps in its administrator tool, Venue Builder™.

In Venue Builder, configure design elements to match your branding, craft messaging specific to venues or even performances. With a seat recommendation engine and full-screen capabilities, SmartSeat provides an unrivaled user experience on any device—all at a price point and install time you won’t believe.

Mobile Optimized

A cross-device experience to match the sophistication of your patrons.

Mobile is our main focus for SmartSeat. We optimized the experience and the performance so that there are fewer steps, and less friction, and less waiting.
