Graduations, playoff games, and member banquets share one hard constraint: capacity is fixed, demand is emotional, and everyone wants to sit with their people. Reserved seating turns "how many tickets does each graduate get?" from a shouting match into a setting.
Keep families and groups together
For a graduation, lay out the venue as a seating chart, give each graduate an allocation or a seat limit, and let families pick their seats together at checkout. Groups land in the same row, and because seating is capped to fire-code capacity, you never oversell the gym or auditorium. The same logic covers recitals, award nights, and any ceremony where seats are scarce and personal.
Reserve sections for sports
School and club sports usually want a hybrid: reserved premium sections — center-court, home-side, booster, or season-ticket seats — sold by seat, with general-admission bleachers open behind them. Sell both in one event, and place holds on sections for the band, the visiting team, or season-ticket families, releasing them as the game approaches.
Seat a member banquet like a gala
An association awards dinner or member banquet uses the same table-and-seat layout as a fundraiser: sell individual seats or whole tables, seat chapters and committees together, and hold head-table seats for honorees. Because reserved seating is part of Addmi event ticketing, it runs in the same dashboard as your memberships, invoicing, and email — see event software for associations.
Check in without a clipboard
Each ticket carries its section, row, and seat, and QR check-in shows the assignment as staff scan — so volunteers seat guests quickly and you get a live count against your capacity limit.
What it costs
Organizers pay the same flat 3% per ticket, capped at $39, with no monthly fee and no seating-map surcharge, and free events stay free. Attendees pay a small $0.40 per-seat reserved-seating service fee at checkout. See the pricing page and the complete reserved seating guide.
