What to check before you choose

Who builds the chart

Some platforms build your chart for you and charge to change it after sales start. An editor you control lets you fix a row at 6 pm on show day.

Pricing by section, row and seat

Front-row premiums and restricted-view discounts need seat-level pricing, not one price per event.

Tables as well as rows

Comedy clubs and cabaret rooms sell tables. Make sure the editor draws them and sells a whole table or single seats.

Holds, comps and accessible seats

You need to hold seats for cast, press and wheelchair users, and release them on your schedule.
