About Placecard
Seating plans and tickets for galas, dinners and table events
Guests choose their own seat on a live floor plan, pay securely, and carry their tickets on their phone. Organisers are paid straight to their own account, and door staff check everyone in with a phone camera.
How it works
1
Lay out the room
Drag round or long tables into your venue's floor plan, add the stage and dance floor, and set prices by table. Sell single seats, whole tables, or both.
2
Guests pick their seats
Buyers see which seats are free in real time, choose their own, and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Seats are held while they check out, so no one is double-booked.
3
Check in at the door
Every guest gets their own QR ticket by email, as a PDF and in their phone's wallet. Door staff scan it with a phone and see the guest's name and table straight away.
For organisers
- Your floor plan, your way. Tables, price tiers, seats held back for committee or sponsors.
- Paid straight to you. Ticket payments go through Stripe to your own payout account, then to your bank.
- Your event's look. Choose a theme and colour for your event page, checkout and tickets.
- Everything in one place. Orders, refunds, resending tickets and live sales from a simple admin.
- A smooth door. Give volunteers a door login; they scan tickets or look guests up by name, with a live count of who's in.
For guests
- Sit where you want. See the room and pick your seats, or book a whole table for your group.
- Pay the way you like. Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, on a secure Stripe checkout.
- Tickets on your phone. By email, as a PDF, or in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
- One ticket per guest. Forward each friend their own ticket so nobody waits for you at the door.
