Polish on this week's four fixes
A round of corrections to the check-in, free-ticket and timezone work that shipped today — mostly about pages saying the right thing at the right moment.
FixedWhen you're creating an event, the dates you type on the first step are no longer reset when you pick your venue on the next one. Previously the date went back to a default while the time you typed stayed put, so the change was easy to miss.
FixedA discount code that brings your seats close to free is no longer rejected when something else in your cart — parking, a program — keeps the order above the minimum a card payment can process. The code applies, and you're told if the seats alone fall under it.
Fixed"Entered at" on the scanner and on your ticket page now shows the venue's local time, matching the event start printed right above it, instead of a time in a different zone.
ImprovedA free order's checkout page no longer says "Payment & billing" or "Charging …" above the panel explaining there's nothing to pay.
ImprovedOrganizers cancelling a free order now see a dialog that says the tickets are being cancelled, rather than one offering to reverse a $0.00 charge in a payment processor.
ImprovedThe event picker when composing an email now shows each event's date in its own venue's timezone, so two shows on consecutive evenings can't be confused.
A ticket can only get one person through the door
Scanning the same ticket at two doors at the same moment now admits exactly one of them — the second scanner says "Already scanned" instead of flashing a green Valid.
FixedIf two people presented the same forwarded ticket QR at two doors in the same instant, both scanners could show the green "Valid" verdict and both people walked in. Only one does now — the second is told the ticket has already been used and to flag it for staff.
Improved"Entered at" now shows when the ticket was actually first used, on both the scanner and the buyer's own ticket page, instead of being overwritten by a later duplicate scan.
FixedUndoing a check-in late in a busy door shift now always takes effect. Previously, after a mis-scan, undo, re-scan sequence on the same device, a second undo could report success while leaving the ticket marked as used.
Free tickets and 100%-off codes can actually be claimed
An order that comes to $0.00 now checks out like any other — no card form, no payment step, tickets in your inbox straight away.
FixedFree events and codes that make an order free now complete at checkout. Until now they stopped at the payment step, because there was no card charge to make — organizers of free events couldn't sell a ticket at all.
ImprovedWhen your order is free, checkout says "No payment needed" instead of showing a card form, and the button reads "Get tickets". Everything else is identical: same tickets, same confirmation email, same seats.
ImprovedAn order that lands just above free — under 50 cents — now explains that card payments can't process that amount and what to do about it, instead of showing a payment error from our card processor.
ImprovedOrganizers can cancel and refund a free order, and the buyer's email now says the tickets were cancelled rather than promising money back that was never taken.
Event times now say which timezone they're in
Every event carries the timezone of the venue it's at. Buyers see start times and on-sale times in that zone with the zone shown, so a listing never means something different depending on where you're reading it.
NewStart times and "sales open" times now show the zone — "7:30 PM EDT" — on event pages, your tickets, organizer listings, and every email we send, so you're never guessing which clock a time refers to.
FixedTicket sales now open at the wall-clock time the organizer actually chose. Previously an organizer outside Eastern could set a 10:00 AM on-sale and have tickets go live hours early.
FixedEvent dates on organization pages and dashboards no longer show the wrong day for late-evening shows.
ImprovedWallet passes show the venue's local time, so a ticket you saved before travelling still reads correctly when you arrive.
NewOrganizers pick a timezone on each venue, and can override it for an individual event. On the two days a year when clocks change, a time that doesn't exist is moved forward and a time that happens twice is saved as the later one — we tell you either way, so sales never open early.
Organizers choose whether fees are added at checkout or built into the ticket price
Events can now advertise a ticket price with no fees at all. Every event page says which kind it is, checkout never adds a surprise, and organizers see exactly what they receive.
NewEvent pages now mark every price "+ fees" or "no fees" — in the price legend, on each section, and on every seat for screen readers — so you know before you pick a seat whether the price you see is the price you'll pay.
NewOn "no fees" events there is no fee line at checkout — the ticket price is the whole price, and the Pay button, Apple Pay and Google Pay all show that same number.
ImprovedEverywhere else there is one simple service fee (today 5% of the order plus $1.99 per paid ticket), shown as a single "Fees" line at checkout and on your confirmation email. Free tickets never carry a fee.
ImprovedFor organizers: each event's settings show a live example of what a buyer pays and what you receive under either choice, every order shows the fee and what you receive, and your dashboard's sales figures are now net of Eventrika's fee.
FixedA promo code can no longer be changed after the payment form has opened — go back a step to change it, so the amount on the Pay button is always the amount charged.
Apple Pay and Google Pay at checkout
Buyers on a phone or a supported browser can pay with the card already in their device's wallet — one tap, no typing. The card form is unchanged for everyone else.
NewApple Pay and Google Pay buttons appear above the card form when the buyer's device can offer them, and stay hidden when it can't, so there's never a button that does nothing.
ImprovedWallet payments go through the same checks as a card: the same totals, the same terms agreement, and the same server-side verification before any ticket is issued.
ImprovedOrganizers don't need an Apple developer account or any Apple fee — Stripe handles that. Wallets switch on for an organization once its payout account is connected and the platform's checkout domains are configured.
A limit on how many seats one person can hold at once
Locked seats are invisible to everyone else until they're bought or the hold expires. Events now cap how many one person can lock at a time, so nobody can sit on a section and hand it out a few seats at a time.
NewEvery event now has a held-seat limit. Leave it alone and it matches your per-buyer ticket limit — so if you allow 10 tickets each, one person can lock 10 seats at a time and no more, counted across all their browser tabs.
NewOrganizers can set it separately under Tickets & seating, with a note explaining why the limit exists. Set it lower to make buyers commit in smaller batches; it can't go higher than your ticket limit, since nobody should lock seats they aren't allowed to buy.
ImprovedBuyers see the limit before they hit it: the ticket quantity picker stops at the number they can actually hold, and the seat map spells out both limits when they differ.
Tickets that can't be copied off a screenshot
A second round of security hardening. Ticket links now carry a private key, transfers need that key, holding seats has a fair-use ceiling, and the most consequential organizer actions are limited to the people who should hold them.
ImprovedSeeing someone's QR code no longer reveals their ticket page. Every ticket link — on the confirmation screen, in the order email, and in "find my tickets" re-sends — includes a private key, and the page opens only with it. Links you already have keep working.
ImprovedTransferring a ticket requires that keyed link, and a transfer now retires the old ticket number as well as the old QR, so a sold ticket can't be walked through the door on its original number.
ImprovedFair-use limits on seat holds: one browser can hold up to 40 seats for an event at a time (across all its tabs), and no single network can hold more than 200 — enough for any real group, not enough to hoard a venue.
ImprovedOrganization roles now mean something: only the owner can connect the Stripe payout account, and only owners and admins can refund orders. Members still scan tickets and see the same pages; the Payouts and Orders pages say who can act instead of failing.
FixedThe order-confirmation email now links each ticket — before, it listed ticket numbers only, so closing the confirmation tab left no way back to the ticket page.
The admin works properly on your phone
A full pass over every admin page on small screens: pages start where the content starts, buttons wrap instead of spilling off the edge, save bars respect the iPhone home indicator, and the door scanner no longer breaks when a code doesn't scan cleanly.
FixedScanning an unknown or mistyped ticket code at the door showed "Something went wrong" and killed the scanner — now it simply tells you the code wasn't found and keeps scanning. Door-station buttons and links are finger-sized too.
FixedAdmin pages on phones no longer open with a huge blank gap at the top — content starts about 100px sooner, and side margins tightened so forms get the width.
ImprovedOrders, users, campaigns, and organization members now use the same card lists as Events and Venues — readable on any screen, with buttons that stay tappable instead of collapsing into an unlabeled table.
ImprovedSave buttons and their result messages stay visible: sticky action bars clear the iPhone home indicator, error messages appear above the bar instead of hidden beneath it, and failures show as red notifications rather than silent text at the bottom of the page.
ImprovedThe mobile menu now dims the page behind it, closes when you tap outside or press Escape, and sits flush under the header. Dark mode fixes for the dashboard checklist, event status panel, and door stats — all were white-on-white.
Passkeys actually work now
Signing in with a passkey — your fingerprint, face, or device PIN instead of a password — is live. The option had been on the login page for a while without the account side to back it up; opening "Passkeys" in your account settings showed an error page. Both halves are connected now.
FixedAccount settings → Passkeys opened an "We hit an unexpected problem" page every time. It now lists your passkeys, and adding, renaming, and removing them all work.
NewYou can register a passkey to your account and use "Continue with a passkey" on the login page to sign in without typing a password. A passkey sign-in also skips the emailed 6-digit code, since your device has already verified it's you.
Limit how many tickets one buyer can take
Organizers can now cap how many tickets a single person may reserve and purchase for an event. New events start with a limit of 10; raise it, lower it, or clear it for no limit at all.
NewA "Per-buyer ticket limit" setting on event creation and editing. It caps both a single sitting (you can't hold more seats than the limit) and repeat purchases with the same email address — and refunded tickets give the allowance back.
NewBuyers see the limit up front: the seat picker says "Limit: N tickets per buyer", the ticket-quantity box won't go past it, and checkout explains exactly how many that email has already bought if they hit the cap.
ImprovedEvents created before this feature keep selling exactly as before — no limit applies until you set one.
Event pages open instantly
Clicking through to an event page used to hold you on the old page while the whole seat map was prepared behind the scenes — on big venues, for several seconds. The page now swaps immediately: the event details appear at once and the seat map fills in right after.
ImprovedNavigation to any event page now lands in a fraction of a second. The seat-map area holds its space with a loading mark for the moment it takes the live map to arrive, so nothing on the page jumps around.
ImprovedBehind the scenes the seat map is now prepared once per visit instead of twice, so busy on-sale moments put roughly half the old load on the server.
Tabs you come back to just work, and a dashboard that tells you something
Two annoyances gone: leaving a tab open no longer greets you with a "rejoining the server" box when you return, and the organizer dashboard now opens on how your events are actually selling instead of a wall of links.
ImprovedComing back to a tab you left open no longer flashes a "Rejoining the server…" box. Reconnecting takes a fraction of a second, so now nothing is shown at all — and a tab sitting in the background is given far longer before the connection is dropped in the first place.
ImprovedWhen a connection genuinely does drop, you get a small "Reconnecting…" marker at the top of the page instead of a full-screen box that blocks everything. Only a failure you have to act on takes over the page — and it's now styled like the rest of Eventrika, in dark mode too.
NewThe organizer dashboard leads with an "On sale" board: every upcoming event with a live sold/held/remaining bar, percentage sold, gross takings, and — once doors are near — how many guests have been scanned in.
ImprovedRevenue and tickets sold are now shown against the previous 30 days, so the number means something. The daily takings chart no longer disappears when there are no sales — it says so.
ImprovedRecent orders are readable rows with relative times ("20m ago") rather than a cramped four-column table, and the eight big link cards at the bottom are now one compact row of shortcuts.
A calmer seat map, and a checkout built for rush hour
Two batches in one day: the stranded-seat warning now minds its own business, and the seat map + checkout got a hardening pass for busy on-sales — lighter live updates, faster page loads, and payment safety at the exact moments a rush makes things race.
FixedThe "your selection would leave an isolated seat" warning — and its amber seat highlight — now appears only when your own selected seats are the ones creating the gap. Before, another shopper picking seats on the same event could make the warning pop up on your screen even with nothing selected, and on events that don't allow stranded seats it could even block your checkout over a gap only they could fix.
FixedA lone open seat sitting between two already-sold seats no longer nags anyone — no one's current selection caused it, so no one gets warned or blocked for it.
FixedA single open seat beside an aisle or a section edge isn't "stranded" anymore — that's an aisle seat. Only a seat boxed in directly on both sides can be.
ImprovedLive seat updates now carry only the seats that actually changed instead of re-sending the entire map on every tap. On a busy on-sale with hundreds of people watching, the map stays instant instead of drowning the connection.
ImprovedBusy event pages are served from a short-lived cache instead of re-reading every seat from the database for each visitor — and the cache clears itself the instant anything about the event changes.
FixedIf your seat reservation expires at the exact moment you're paying — slow card entry, a bank verification step — the charge is now automatically released and you're asked to pick seats again. You can never be charged for seats that slipped away mid-payment, and nobody's freshly-grabbed seats can be sold out from under them.
FixedFinishing the same checkout from two tabs at once can no longer refund the payment that actually bought your tickets — the second tab now recognizes the first one won and points you to it.
FixedTwo buyers grabbing the last general-admission tickets in the same instant now get a clean first-come-first-served answer, instead of one of them discovering an empty reservation at checkout.
QR logos sit right in the code, and the home page seat map got real
Polish in three visible places: a transparent QR center logo no longer gets any white box behind it, the home page's little seat-map demo now draws the same chairback seats as the real seat picker, and the phone menu scrolls all the way to its last entry.
FixedA transparent QR center logo now sits directly among the code's dots: the dots clear just far enough around the shape of your artwork itself — the way professional generators do it — instead of blanking a rectangle behind the logo. Logos pasted from outside URLs keep the old treatment, since we can't read their shape.
FixedLogos that carry a baked-in background card blend in too. Many design tools export a mark sitting on a white rounded card even when the file looks transparent; anything around your artwork that matches the code's background color is now stripped automatically, so the mark sits in the code instead of looking taped onto it.
ImprovedThe interactive seat-map demo on the home page draws proper chairback seats — backrest, cushion, armrests — like the real seat picker, and its button now says "Try the demo" instead of the misleading "Checkout".
FixedOn phones, the banner at the bottom of the home page read "could beon sale" — the missing space is back.
FixedThe phone navigation menu no longer hides its last entries below the edge of the screen — it now scrolls all the way down and stays where you scrolled, even with the browser's address bar showing.
Sign-in codes, and an authenticator QR you can actually scan
Two account-security upgrades: signing in now gets a quick email double-check, and setting up an authenticator app finally shows a real QR code.
NewWhen you sign in with your password, we email you a 6-digit code to confirm it's really you. Tick "Remember this device" and that browser skips the code next time. Prefer an authenticator app? Set one up under Account → Two-factor authentication and its codes replace the emailed ones entirely.
FixedThe authenticator setup page now shows a scannable QR code instead of only a long key to type by hand — and your authenticator app lists the account as "Eventrika" rather than a mysterious piece of Microsoft plumbing.
Small sections are pickable on phones again
Zooming into a shallow section — a single front row, an accessible row — on a phone showed one solid bar instead of seats, with nothing to tap. Those sections now zoom in until every seat is a real, comfortably-sized tap target.
FixedOne-row sections no longer render as a fused pill in the zoomed-in view: the map keeps zooming until the seats appear and reach full tap size, then lets the row scroll sideways — every seat is individually tappable, on any screen size.
FixedThe same shallow sections were silently broken on smaller laptop windows too — seats now render there as well.
Setting up is quicker, and the QR logo looks right
Four rough edges from setting up a brand-new organization on a phone: the create-event progress bar ran off the screen, everything pointed you at creating an event before you had anywhere to hold one, saving a venue dropped you on a page whose only purpose was one more click, and a transparent logo came out of the QR designer looking like it had a white background.
FixedThe create-event progress bar fits on a phone. Instead of four labelled steps running off both edges, you get the numbered dots plus one line naming where you are — "Step 2 of 4 · Tickets & seating". Wider screens still show every step's name.
ImprovedVenue first. Until you've added one, the dashboard, the events list, and the events empty state all invite you to create a venue instead of offering an event you can't finish — the create-event form says so up front rather than leaving you at an empty venue picker halfway through.
ImprovedSaving a new venue takes you straight into the seating editor. The page that used to sit in between existed only to say "now open the seating chart", so it's out of the way — alternate layouts are still one tap back.
FixedA transparent QR center logo no longer sits in a big white square. The logo is trimmed down to the artwork itself and the code is cleared just far enough around it, so the mark fills the space instead of floating in it — and a wide logo gets a wide space rather than being letterboxed into a square one. Your printed tickets match the designer preview.
The seat map stopped fighting itself
On wide screens, zooming into certain small sections — like a single front row — made the map rapidly zoom out and in over and over. It now glides to the right zoom level and stays there.
FixedTapping a section whose seats start out very small no longer sends the map into a zoom tug-of-war: it steps up smoothly until the seats reach a comfortable size and settles, instead of flickering between too-far and too-close several times a second.
The blue boxes are gone
Two long-standing visual annoyances are fixed: the big blue outline that appeared around page titles as you moved between pages, and the permanent blue glow around form fields that had anything typed in them.
FixedPage titles no longer get a blue box drawn around them after navigating. (Behind the scenes, moving to a new page still announces the title to screen readers — only the box is gone.)
FixedSign-in and account form fields only glow while you're actually typing in them — a filled field at rest now looks like every other field instead of keeping a blue halo.
Account settings got a proper home
The account pages — profile, email, password, two-factor, passkeys, personal data — now share one clean layout: a slim navigation rail beside a single settings card, instead of a giant list box squeezing the actual settings off to the side.
ImprovedSettings navigation is a compact rail with an icon per section; the section you're in stays highlighted even on its sub-pages, like setting up an authenticator or renaming a passkey.
ImprovedEach page shows its title once, up top — the card no longer repeats the same heading right below it.
ImprovedOn phones the rail becomes a row of pills above the settings, so nothing gets cramped.
FixedStray list bullets next to the navigation are gone, and forms sit at a comfortable reading width instead of stretching across the whole card.
One-tap background removal — and a QR designer that keeps up
Logos on a solid background used to sit inside the QR code as an ugly filled square. The media library can now make that background transparent in one tap, the QR preview updates the instant you change anything, and downloaded QR files carry your logo inside them.
NewEvery image in your media library has a new wand button: it detects a flat background (black, white, any solid color), makes it transparent, and saves the result as a copy — your original stays untouched. Details inside your artwork that share the background color are preserved.
NewLibrary thumbnails now sit on a checkerboard so you can see at a glance which images have transparency.
FixedThe ticket designer's QR preview refreshes immediately for every control — logo size (as you type), error-correction level, and the show-QR toggle previously did nothing until you touched something else, and the Save button didn't notice the change either.
FixedDownloading the sample QR as an SVG now embeds a media-library logo inside the file itself — before, the file pointed at an address that only worked on the site, so the logo showed as a missing image. Logos from outside URLs get a clear heads-up in the scannability check.
Focus on one organization — and design tickets with your own images
Owners who run more than one organization can now scope the whole admin dashboard to a single org from a picker in the header. And the ticket designer now pulls logos straight from your media library instead of making you paste image URLs.
NewA dashboard organization picker (it appears when you have more than one): revenue, tickets sold, upcoming events, needs-attention items, and recent orders all narrow to the chosen organization — or switch back to everything.
ImprovedTicket designer: both the ticket header logo and the QR center logo can now be picked from your organization's media library — including uploading a new image right there. Pasting an external URL still works.
Venue cards show their real floor plan — and every list went modern
Each venue card now opens with a miniature map of its actual seating layout, drawn from the default template. The same card treatment now covers Events, Organizations, and Disabled Events, so every admin list reads cleanly on desktop and phone alike.
ImprovedVenue cards lead with a mini floor plan — stage, stands, and site floor in their real colors — so venues are recognizable at a glance; a venue with nothing drawn yet shows a neutral placeholder tile.
ImprovedThe events list became cards too: a calendar date tile, status chip, venue / schedule / revenue at a glance, a sales progress bar, and the same bulk publish and draft tools — plus a sort menu for soonest, name, best selling, or top revenue.
ImprovedOrganizations and disabled events match the same look: tidy cards with clear buttons instead of cramped table rows and icon strips.
ImprovedFriendly empty states everywhere — a first-run invitation when a list is empty and a clear message when a search or filter has no matches.
A cleaner venues page that works on your phone
The venues list is rebuilt as modern cards: each venue shows its seats and status at a glance, every seating template is a one-tap pill, and secondary actions tuck into a tidy menu. On phones everything stacks cleanly instead of spilling off the screen.
ImprovedEach venue is a card — name, address, seat count, and status up top; seating templates below as pills you tap to open, with a green dot marking the one in use and a lock on templates live events depend on.
ImprovedSeating charts and Edit are one tap away; Duplicate and Archive moved into a per-venue menu instead of a row of mystery icons.
FixedOn phones the old list collapsed into overlapping buttons, text running off the screen, and huge blank stretches — the new cards, search box, and page header all reflow properly on small screens.
ImprovedA friendly first-run state: no venues yet shows a clear "Create venue" invitation instead of an empty table, and searches that match nothing say so.
Breadcrumbs that tell the truth
The trail at the top of every admin page now reads like a map you can actually use: it starts at Admin Dashboard, shows the real name of your organization, venue, or event, and never routes you through pages that don't exist.
ImprovedPages that belong to one of your organizations, venues, or events show its actual name in the trail — "Eventrika Demo Library › Payouts" instead of "Organizations › Details › Payouts".
FixedThe generic "Details" crumb is gone — it was manufactured from the record id in the address bar and linked to a page that doesn't exist.
ImprovedThe trail starts at "Admin Dashboard" instead of just "Admin", only pages that really exist are clickable, and the dashboard no longer shows a one-item trail pointing at itself.
A clearer path to getting paid — and back buttons where you expect them
The payouts page now walks you through Stripe setup as a numbered progress tracker instead of a bare checklist, and the back button on every admin page moved from the far right of the header to just left of the page title.
ImprovedPayout setup reads as four numbered milestones — create or link your Stripe account, submit your business details, get approved to take payments, add a bank account — with a green check on what's done and an "Up next" tag on the step you're on.
ImprovedEach milestone explains itself in a sentence, so you know what Stripe will ask for before you're sent there — including that an existing Stripe account can be linked instead of creating a new one.
ImprovedBack is now a compact arrow beside the page title on every admin page — hover it and it says exactly where it takes you. The right side of each header is reserved for real actions like Duplicate or Seating Charts.
Make your landing page yours — brand colors and looks
Give your public event page a brand kit: a primary and secondary color, up to ten extra palette colors, and a choice of curated looks — from subtle accents to a full brand banner. Whatever colors you pick, the page keeps itself readable.
NewA "Brand kit & look" section on the organization editor: pick a primary and secondary color, build a palette of up to ten extra colors, and compare four looks on miniature page previews that update live as you pick.
NewThree branded looks for the landing page — Accents (your colors on labels, chips, and buttons), Soft gradient (a light brand wash across the header), and Bold banner (a full-strength brand header) — or keep the standard Eventrika style.
NewExtra palette colors rotate through the date tiles on your event cards, giving the page your palette's rhythm without touching the layout.
ImprovedReadability is automatic: every text tone is adjusted for contrast against whatever colors you choose, in light and dark mode alike.
Set up extras and invite links while creating an event
Creating an event now walks through an Access & extras step: choose public or invite-only from two clear cards, and stage add-ons and personal invite links right there — everything goes live the moment the event is created.
NewThe create-event wizard gained a step: pick Public or Private from two side-by-side cards that explain each choice — no more discovering the private-event switch after the fact on the edit page.
NewAdd-ons (parking, early access, merch) and personal invite links can be staged during creation and are created together with the event — before, both could only be added by reopening the event for editing.
ImprovedThe review step now warns you before publishing a private event that has no invite links — otherwise nobody could open the page.
FixedThe seat picker's "Clear all seats" and "Continue to Checkout" buttons no longer sit glued together — they got breathing room, matching corners, and an easier-to-tap size.
FixedThe promo-code, add-on, and invite forms on the event editor line up evenly now — fields with a helper note used to sit higher than their neighbors.
You can always put a piece down in the layout editor
Selecting a piece in the venue layout editor no longer traps you: press Esc to deselect, and the properties panel's × now truly lets go — even when a floor zone covers the whole canvas and leaves no empty spot to click.
NewPress Esc in the layout editor to deselect the current piece and close its properties panel.
FixedClicking empty canvas was the only way to deselect, so a piece covering the entire canvas — like a full-room floor zone — could never be put down: every click just selected it again. Esc and the panel's × both work no matter what covers the canvas.
FixedThe × on the properties panel now deselects the piece instead of just hiding the panel — before, the arrow keys and Delete kept acting on a selection you could no longer see.
Private events with personal invite links
Sell tickets to exactly the people you choose: mark an event private, add each guest by name and email, and send everyone their own purchase link with its own ticket limit — perfect for dance recitals where each student may buy a set number of seats.
NewA "Private event" switch on the event editor hides the event from your landing page and locks the event page itself — only visitors opening a personal invite link can see it or buy.
NewAn Invite links panel on the event editor built for speed: type a name, an email (or several, comma-separated), press Enter, and the personal link is generated — the ticket limit sticks between adds so you can fly down a class list. Copy any link or email it to the guest in one click.
NewEach link enforces its own ticket cap across every purchase made through it — seat selection, quantity pickers, and checkout all respect what's left, and buyers see a personal banner ("Personal invitation for Jamie — up to 4 tickets") with their email prefilled at checkout.
NewRevoke a link at any moment and it stops working instantly (restore it later if you change your mind); links someone already purchased through stay on record.
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.
ImprovedVolleyball'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.
ImprovedEvery 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.
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.
ImprovedThe 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.
ImprovedPricing 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.
ImprovedThe 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).
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.
NewA 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.
NewOne 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.
ImprovedEvery 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.
ImprovedNew 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.
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.
FixedSelecting 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.
FixedWhile 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.
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.
ImprovedThe 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.
ImprovedFoul 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.
FixedEverything 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.
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.
ImprovedEvery 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.
ImprovedBig 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.
ImprovedEach 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.
ImprovedThe 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.
ImprovedConference, 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.
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.
FixedMarking a section as no longer accessible now takes effect — before, the accessible setting quietly switched itself back on the moment you unchecked it.
FixedThe Show/Hide grid button in the layout editor now genuinely toggles the grid overlay, and its icon reflects whether the grid is on.
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.
ImprovedDemo 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.
ImprovedEmail 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.
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.
NewA 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.
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.
FixedThe 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.
FixedThe 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.
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.
ImprovedThe 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.
ImprovedPicking 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.
ImprovedIf 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.
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.
ImprovedStands 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.
ImprovedZooming 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.
FixedChoosing seats on stadium-scale sideline stands no longer opens a long, horizontally scrolling ribbon of seats.
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.
FixedLarge 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.
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.
NewPrefer to browse? One tap expands the full list of demos, grouped by event type, each a click from opening.
NewDance 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.
ImprovedEvery 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.
ImprovedThe old demo gallery and guided picker are now a single page — simpler to share, instant to explore, with nothing to sign up for.
ImprovedThe 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.
Your money, your Stripe account
Organizers now connect their own Stripe account, so ticket revenue settles directly to you — Eventrika never holds your money.
NewStripe 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.
NewEvery 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.
ImprovedPublishing 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.
ImprovedRefunds, disputes, and payout timing live in your own Stripe dashboard, one click from the Payouts page.
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.
NewThe 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.
NewTicket 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.
NewWaitlists: 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.
NewRefunds, 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.
NewMemberships: give your regulars a standing discount (and optionally zero service fees), applied automatically at checkout by their email.
ImprovedCreating an event is now a three-step wizard — basics, tickets & seating, then a listing-style preview before anything goes live.
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.
NewA live seat-map demo right in the hero: tap seats, watch the running total update, and see exactly what buyers experience.
ImprovedThe page moved to the warm, light Front Row look with clearer sections — why Eventrika, interactive seating, how it works, and the numbers that matter.
ImprovedEvery section is tuned for dark mode and small screens, and animations respect your reduced-motion setting.
ImprovedLight mode is now the default look. Prefer dark? The header toggle is one click and your choice is remembered per device.
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.
NewA 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.
NewNew typefaces across the app: Space Grotesk for headings and numbers, Hanken Grotesk for text, and a monospace face for codes and money.
ImprovedDark mode rebuilt on a true dark palette — richer, warmer surfaces instead of the old navy blue.
ImprovedStatus colors tuned for legibility: greens, ambers, and reds now meet accessibility contrast on every badge and chip.
ImprovedCheckout, 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.
FixedCheckout opt-in checkboxes are bigger, easier to tap, and show a clear keyboard focus ring.
NewPromo 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.
NewAdd-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.
ImprovedSeat map polish: the "Continue to Checkout" button wears the new coral, and the zoom controls are comfortably tappable on every screen size.
NewThe 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.
Ballparks that look like ballparks
Baseball and softball venues got a ground-up makeover — on the map, in the builder, and in miniature.
ImprovedBaseball 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.
NewDiamond-sport venues lay out like real ballparks — a home-plate grandstand, baseline bleachers, and outfield seating or a lawn beyond the fence.
NewChoose the ground your venue sits on: grass, turf, and asphalt join the indoor floor options, and buyers see it on the seat map too.
ImprovedThe seat-map mini-map now shows your actual field or court markings instead of a plain colored block.
