Venue Layouts
Layouts define how a venue is configured for events. The same physical space can have different layouts-theatre-style seating for plays, cabaret tables for comedy, or standing room for concerts.
Layout Components
Layout
├── Areas (sections of seating)
│ └── Seats (individual seat positions)
└── Categories (price tiers)
Areas vs Categories
- Areas = Physical sections (Stalls, Circle, Balcony)
- Categories = Price tiers (Premium, Standard, Restricted)
A seat belongs to one area AND one category. The area says where it is, the category determines its price tier.
Common Layout Types
- Seated - Theatre, concert hall, arena
- General Admission - Standing areas, festival grounds
- Mixed - Some seated sections, some GA
- Tables - Cabaret, dinner shows, galas
