  1. Latest

    Demo end bleachers look like real bleachers

    The tiny end-of-court banks in the sports demos — some just twelve seats on a three-seat-wide sliver — grew into proper bleacher banks, four to five rows deep and spanning the court, the way a real gym or park actually sets them up.

    • Improved Volleyball's endline banks doubled to 24 seats each, and the basketball baselines, hockey goal ends, tennis baselines, multipurpose end stands, and lacrosse end zones all grew to real bleacher proportions — roughly double their old capacity, still with a center aisle and, where the venue has one, a walk-up tunnel at the rail.
    • Improved Every expanded bank keeps its court-side edge and walkway gap exactly where it was, overhangs the court a touch at each end like real bleachers do, and stays perfectly mirrored with its partner across the venue.
  2. Demo seat maps now match how real venues are built

    The small seating strips that floated between the court and the main stands are gone: every sports demo now seats each side as one continuous bank, the way a real school gym, rink, or stadium actually does.

    • Improved The volleyball, basketball, hockey, tennis, multipurpose-arena, and football-stadium demos merged their little rail sections (courtside rows, glass seats, sideline club) into the big stand behind them — each side is now one continuous bank running from the rail to the concourse, with the aisles and walk-up tunnels rethreaded to match.
    • Improved Pricing follows the new shapes: sideline banks carry the premium price, end and baseline banks the value price, and venues with just two kinds of seats — like a school volleyball gym — now sell exactly two tiers.
    • Improved The demo picker and event descriptions were reworded to describe the new layouts, and every scenario card's price-and-tiers chip now matches what its demo actually charges (several had drifted from the live prices).
  3. Venue maps sit on real floors now

    Seat maps stopped floating on a blank white page: every demo venue now sits on the surface a venue like it really has — maple gym floors, rink-side concrete, theater carpet — and the venue editor can match your floor to your court, field, or stage in one click.

    • New A Hardwood floor joined the venue editor's floor types — a maple plank surface made for basketball and volleyball halls, tintable to any stain from pale maple to dark walnut.
    • New One click on "Match floor to stage/field" in the layout editor dresses the room the way a real venue is built — maple around a basketball court, concrete around a rink, acrylic green around a tennis court, carpet for a theater house — matching color included.
    • Improved Every demo venue got a real floor: the basketball and volleyball gyms sit on maple, the ice rink on cool concourse concrete, the tennis show court in its green run-off, the theaters on house carpet, and the two gala ballrooms on champagne and slate-blue carpet — each picked so the seats and the playing surface still pop.
    • Improved New venues start better dressed too: creating an indoor court from a layout preset now lays the right hall floor automatically instead of leaving the room blank white.
  4. Editing a seating chart is roomier

    In the layout editor, a piece's properties now open in a panel over your toolbox instead of covering the map, and anything sitting on top of the piece you're editing fades out of the way so its handles are always reachable.

    • Fixed Selecting a piece to edit no longer shrinks the venue map to a sliver: its properties open as a panel the width of your toolbox, docked right over it, so the whole map stays visible — close it with the × to bring the toolbox back.
    • Fixed While you're editing a piece, anything overlapping it from above fades to a see-through outline and stops intercepting clicks, so its resize and move handles are never trapped underneath — and stacking order still reads correctly, with floor zones staying beneath the seats.
  5. Ballpark maps look like real ballparks

    The baseball and softball field art got a full redo: the park is now a true fan-shaped aerial sitting on the venue lawn — home plate by the grandstand, foul lines ending at yellow foul poles on the fence, and nothing but grass beyond the wall.

    • Improved The ballpark is no longer a green square with a diamond stamped on it — it's a fan-shaped park drawn straight on the venue grounds, with a real-proportioned infield, outfield grass mowed in arcs around home plate, and a soft shadow that seats it on the lawn.
    • Improved Foul lines run from home plate through first and third base and stop at yellow foul poles where they meet the outfield wall; the warning track runs exactly pole to pole instead of wrapping into foul ground.
    • Fixed Everything beyond the fence is simply the venue lawn now — no more murky dark block behind the outfield — and home plate sits tight against the home-plate grandstand, in the seat map and the venue editor alike.
  6. Every demo venue now looks like the real thing

    All 22 demo venues were rebuilt to the same standard as the flagship stadium: perfectly symmetric seat maps with real aisles, sensible pricing tiers, and layouts that match how each kind of venue is actually built.

    • Improved Every seating demo is now mirror-symmetric with premium seats where they belong — courtside rows at the rail, club seats on the 50-yard line, glass seats at the boards, orchestra in front of mezzanine and balcony — and matching sections always share one price.
    • Improved Big stands are threaded with real circulation: aisle stairs divide each grandstand into seating blocks, walk-up tunnels open at the field side, and stacked tiers line their aisles up into continuous gangways — just like the stadium demo.
    • Improved Each sport now gets a true-to-life ground: a rectangular football stadium and soccer pitch, a hockey barn with an end-to-end bowl, a tennis show court with baseline banks, and ballparks with a home-plate grandstand and baseline wings.
    • Improved The concert arena is a real end-stage bowl — premium floor blocks in front of the stage with a center aisle that runs straight up the rear stands — and theaters price front-to-back (orchestra, mezzanine, balcony) with wheelchair platforms in the house.
    • Improved Conference, festival, and fairground demos got proper site plans — centered stages, mirrored wings and gates, a festival lawn on grass and a fair midway on asphalt — and the two gala ballrooms now set distinct floors: round tables in one, long donor banquet tables and a silent-auction gallery in the other.
  7. Venue builder toggles behave

    Two fixes in the seating-chart editor: turning a section's accessible seating back off now sticks, and the Show/Hide grid button actually shows and hides the grid.

    • Fixed Marking a section as no longer accessible now takes effect — before, the accessible setting quietly switched itself back on the moment you unchecked it.
    • Fixed The Show/Hide grid button in the layout editor now genuinely toggles the grid overlay, and its icon reflects whether the grid is on.
  8. Trying a demo event is effortless now

    Exploring a demo checkout no longer asks you to fill out a form — your details come prefilled, email is entirely optional, and you can reach the sample confirmation in a couple of taps.

    • Improved Demo checkout now arrives with your name already filled in and locked, so you can go straight from picking seats to the confirmation without typing anything.
    • Improved Email is optional on a demo — leave it blank to breeze through, or add it to see exactly what a real confirmation email looks like. It's never used for marketing.
  9. Every page click responds right away

    Follow a link and a slim progress bar now sweeps across the top of the screen the instant you click — so you always know the app caught your tap while the next page loads, even on the biggest seat maps.

    • New A thin progress bar now appears at the very top of the page the moment you follow a link and finishes as the new page arrives, so a page that takes a beat to open never looks frozen or ignored.
  10. Big seat maps open to the whole venue, every time

    Opening a large venue — like a full stadium — now always starts zoomed out to the entire map inside a tidy, fixed-size viewer, instead of occasionally landing zoomed way in and stretching the page down the screen.

    • Fixed The seat map now fits the whole venue on the very first paint on its own, so a big stadium no longer opens zoomed in — even for a moment — while the page catches up.
    • Fixed The seat map can no longer stretch the page: it lives in a fixed-size viewer you pan and zoom within, so a large venue never balloons the page height or forces you to scroll sideways to find the rest of the venue.
  11. Picking a seat feels instant now

    Tapping a seat answers immediately: the seat you tapped pulses while we secure it, pops green the moment it's yours, and the rest of the map stays alive — no more frozen cursor while you wait.

    • Improved The seat you tap now glows with a soft pulse while it's being reserved, then pops green the instant it's confirmed — instead of the whole map freezing with a "not allowed" cursor until the reservation finished.
    • Improved Picking several seats quickly just works: taps made while a reservation is still in flight queue up and settle one after another, each with its own confirmation.
    • Improved If another buyer grabs a seat a split second before you, the seat gives a quick shake so you can see exactly which one to re-pick.
  12. Pick your block, not the whole grandstand

    On big continuous stands, tapping the seat map now zooms into the seating block between the aisle stairs — a comfortable square of seats — instead of highlighting the entire strip.

    • Improved Stands divided by aisle stairs and tunnels now offer one tap target per seating block: hover or tap a block to see its own seat count and starting price, then zoom straight into just that block — no more selecting a whole sideline at once.
    • Improved Zooming into a block shows it with the stairs that bound it on each side, the way you'd find your section in a real stadium — and the mini-map lights up exactly which slice of the stand you're in.
    • Fixed Choosing seats on stadium-scale sideline stands no longer opens a long, horizontally scrolling ribbon of seats.
  13. Seat maps fit your screen on the first look

    Opening a large venue's seat map now shows the whole map right away — no more landing zoomed in with a scrollbar.

    • Fixed Large seat maps — like a full stadium bowl — now reliably fit the whole venue in view the moment the page loads, instead of occasionally opening zoomed in behind a scrollbar.
  14. Find your demo in two quick picks

    The demo page is now one place: answer two quick questions and a real, working ticket page for your kind of event appears right beside them.

    • New "Two quick picks": choose what you're putting on and the exact scenario, and the matching demo — a live seat map, real pricing, real checkout — renders instantly next to your answers.
    • New Prefer to browse? One tap expands the full list of demos, grouped by event type, each a click from opening.
    • New Dance takes the stage: the performing-arts category is now "Theater & Dance," with a studio dance-recital demo — a real auditorium seat map, family-friendly pricing, and instant tickets.
    • Improved Every demo now reads like a real listing — a clear event name with the sport or format shown as a chip, plus its venue, capacity, and price range.
    • Improved The old demo gallery and guided picker are now a single page — simpler to share, instant to explore, with nothing to sign up for.
    • Improved The biggest sports demo now looks like a true stadium bowl — continuous two-tier sidelines and end zones cut by aisle stairs and walk-up tunnels, instead of a grid of separate stands.
  15. Your money, your Stripe account

    Organizers now connect their own Stripe account, so ticket revenue settles directly to you — Eventrika never holds your money.

    • New Stripe payout onboarding: a new Payouts page walks you through connecting a Stripe account in a few minutes, shows exactly what's left to finish, and updates itself as Stripe verifies you.
    • New Every charge now runs directly on your Stripe account — buyers' money is yours from the moment they pay, and Eventrika keeps only the service fee shown at checkout.
    • Improved Publishing a paid event now checks that payouts are set up first, so you can't accidentally sell tickets you couldn't be paid for — free and demo events are unaffected.
    • Improved Refunds, disputes, and payout timing live in your own Stripe dashboard, one click from the Payouts page.
  16. The full ticketing toolkit

    Show day, handled end to end: an unmistakable door scanner, ticket transfers, waitlists, honest refunds, memberships, and a calmer way to create events.

    • New The door scanner answers every scan with one huge, unmistakable verdict — Valid, Already scanned, Wrong event, or Refunded — plus live door stats: checked-in count, percent of tickets, and scan rate.
    • New Ticket transfers: send a ticket to any email and the barcode reissues on their phone — the old one stops scanning instantly, and both of you get a confirmation.
    • New Waitlists: sold-out events capture demand. Join with your email, see your place in line, and the front of the queue hears first when seats free up.
    • New Refunds, honestly: organizers refund an order in one action — seats go back on sale, the tickets stop scanning, and the buyer sees a clear timeline of exactly where the money is.
    • New Memberships: give your regulars a standing discount (and optionally zero service fees), applied automatically at checkout by their email.
    • Improved Creating an event is now a three-step wizard — basics, tickets & seating, then a listing-style preview before anything goes live.
  17. A new front door

    The home page got a ground-up redesign in the Front Row style — it now shows the product instead of describing it.

    • New A live seat-map demo right in the hero: tap seats, watch the running total update, and see exactly what buyers experience.
    • Improved The page moved to the warm, light Front Row look with clearer sections — why Eventrika, interactive seating, how it works, and the numbers that matter.
    • Improved Every section is tuned for dark mode and small screens, and animations respect your reduced-motion setting.
    • Improved Light mode is now the default look. Prefer dark? The header toggle is one click and your choice is remembered per device.
  18. A brand-new look: Front Row

    One confident brand across every screen — deep azure for trust and every action, a coral spark for the moments that matter, and warm neutrals everywhere else.

    • New A refreshed identity: azure blue now owns buttons, links, and selection everywhere — the old purple/blue split is gone, and the logo wears the new colors.
    • New New typefaces across the app: Space Grotesk for headings and numbers, Hanken Grotesk for text, and a monospace face for codes and money.
    • Improved Dark mode rebuilt on a true dark palette — richer, warmer surfaces instead of the old navy blue.
    • Improved Status colors tuned for legibility: greens, ambers, and reds now meet accessibility contrast on every badge and chip.
    • Improved Checkout, sharpened: the Pay button now wears coral for the moment you commit, the total is unmistakable, and the seat-hold timer is visible from the first step.
    • Fixed Checkout opt-in checkboxes are bigger, easier to tap, and show a clear keyboard focus ring.
    • New Promo codes: create percent or dollar discount codes per event — with optional usage limits and expiry — and buyers apply them right in checkout with an honest discount line before fees.
    • New Add-ons: sell parking, early access, merch, and other extras alongside tickets. Buyers pick quantities at checkout, inventory is tracked, and every line shows on the order and the confirmation email.
    • Improved Seat map polish: the "Continue to Checkout" button wears the new coral, and the zoom controls are comfortably tappable on every screen size.
    • New The dashboard now answers "what needs me today": a needs-attention feed flags slow sales near the date, near-sold-out events, forgotten drafts, and ended events still live — plus a getting-started checklist that tracks your progress to the first sale.
  19. Ballparks that look like ballparks

    Baseball and softball venues got a ground-up makeover — on the map, in the builder, and in miniature.

    • Improved Baseball and softball fields now render as real parks: grass all around, a dirt infield with bases and mound, foul lines, and an outfield fence — no more floating diamond.
    • New Diamond-sport venues lay out like real ballparks — a home-plate grandstand, baseline bleachers, and outfield seating or a lawn beyond the fence.
    • New Choose the ground your venue sits on: grass, turf, and asphalt join the indoor floor options, and buyers see it on the seat map too.
    • Improved The seat-map mini-map now shows your actual field or court markings instead of a plain colored block.
  20. A faster, cleaner checkout

    We trimmed checkout to just what's needed so buyers finish sooner.

    • Improved Streamlined the checkout form down to the essentials — fewer fields, less friction.
    • Improved US phone numbers now format automatically as you type.
  21. Make it yours: custom branding

    Bring your own look to organization profiles and venues.

    • New Upload custom photos for your organization profile and each venue.
    • New A polished, branded loading animation across the app.
    • Fixed "Not found" messages no longer flash before a page has finished loading.
    • Fixed The seat-hold countdown timer is now clearly readable in dark mode.

    • New Add stairs and tunnels as walkways inside your seating layouts.
    • Improved Recolor fields, courts, and individual section seats to match your space.
    • Improved Deleting a section now cleanly removes its attached stairs and tunnels.

    • New A guided "find the right setup" demo picker, each path with its own artwork.

    • New A two-step "zoom to your section, then choose seats" buyer flow.
