Extend the capacity of your performances with a virtual seat non-numbered section (unlimited capacity) that would offer the best view on stage, fields.

Keep it up with social distancing

Keeping social distancing while selling can be achieved through selling a mix of real and virtual seats by setting up a chessboard seating logic. That's the birth of a new seat category that could be named "virtual seat category" that can be sold like any other seats in SecuTix. It only take some setup to be done on your existing seatmaps to create this new seat category that would be virtual seats only. You will keep your existing customer journey and add a virtual dimension to your seatmaps that would open possibilities such as purchasing real seat only, virtual seat only but also within the same order real and virtual seats. By purchasing a virtual seat your customers can access this new content directly from their ticket list in their personnal account page.

Offer the best seat to all your virtual audience

Another great opportunity with the virtual seats is that everyone can get access to the best seat in the venue or stadium, and even better the capacity of your venue becomes unlimited. To keep the same customer journey, you can add a non-numbered section to your existing products that would be the virtual seats quota. Your customers would then be able to purchase within the same purchase process the virtual and real seats. Then, simply from their ticket list on their personnal account they would be able to access the virtual content in just one click.

Kick-off interactive cross-selling

Most streaming platforms will let you setup interactive calls-to-action on the top, such as "purchase a ticket for the next real life event in your city". Those cross-selling opportunities combined with the tracking capability of SAM, will let you measure the revenue generated by those interactive calls-to-action.
