Advance Your Ticket Sales

Allow your audience to find a perfect spot at every venue with Softjourn’s Venue Mapping Tool. If you are struggling to balance the number of attendees at your event and don’t yet have reserved seating - we can help you. 

Incorporating Softjourn's Venue Mapping Tool (VMT) into your current platform is simple, especially since it easily integrates with a plethora of applications and platforms. Our white-label tool provides access to powerful venue mapping functionalities, such as defining general admission and VIP reserved seating, to developing a precise floor plan to fit a venue's exact size and shape.

You can create unique maps to ensure you have every section of your venue covered and can easily add new seats. When it comes to Covid-19 regulations, the checkerboard seating algorithm will ensure the safety of every visitor by placing them at a safe distance from one another.

VMT Features

Aerial Mapping Sports Venue

Aerial view allows a bird’s-eye view for more precise mapping of small, medium, and large venues. It creates recognizable sections to support and ensure easier navigation through your chosen colors and symbols.

 

This feature helps event organizers to:

  • Assign seat attributes, such as shape and color
  • Visualize the rules that affect capacity

Seat Picking Tool

Designed to be very intuitive and mobile-friendly, the picker tool allows attendees to find the spot of their choice in just a few taps. 

 

It allows users to: 

  • Reserve tickets
  • Change ticket type
  • Change ticket type quantity

Social Distancing Algorithm

Our venue mapping tool offers checkerboard seating within a venue to ensure everyone's safety following COVID-19 restrictions.

  • Assign General Admission and reserved ticket types
  • Use flexible seating configurations to maximize revenue

Algorithm to Prevent Orphan Seats

Our venue mapping tool helps event organizers avoid the dreaded orphan seats, by preventing patrons from buying tickets that leave one empty seat. This tool can be customized to take into account deleted seats when checking for orphan seats.

  • Orphan seats will be prevented
