Hi. We’re SeatPlan. And we know that buying theatre tickets can be a minefield. Will I be able to see anything? Am I getting a good deal? Is there any legroom? How close are the toilets? The list goes on…
SeatPlan was launched in 2011 to answer these questions and help audiences book the best seats, whatever that means to them. Our bespoke and fully interactive seating plans, embedded within the booking experience, mean customers can browse thousands of user-uploaded photos and select the best seats for their budget, at any time.
Over the last decade, we’ve expanded and now feature seating and venue tips for over 100 theatres in the UK and New York so you can see more with SeatPlan.
Our team knows first-hand that a great seat can make or break a theatre trip, and we are always working to simplify the buying experience so you can spend less time hunting for a great deal or view and more time focusing on making memories to last a lifetime.

The ones that stay with you for a lifetime.

How we do it
We Help you Find the Best Deals and Keep you Safe when Booking
At SeatPlan, we search the market so you don’t have to.
Whether you’re planning ahead or booking last minute, you’ll find a range of deals and seats for every occasion, all aggregated from top suppliers, allowing you to compare the best deals in one place.
With intuitive tools like the “show best seats” selector you can easily browse and select different price band options and views to suit your budget—all without the hassle of hunting around
We also take safety seriously and keep your details secure at all times. Bookings are processed using secure server software (SSL) that protects your personal and credit card details and we promise an Official Ticket Guarantee as well as being registered members of the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (STAR).
We Help you to Visualise the Experience
We believe that checking seat views is an integral step to researching and buying theatre tickets. You wouldn’t book a hotel without seeing a view of the room - so why book a theatre ticket without an idea of what you might see?
Our interactive seating plans feature real photos from real audience members. Armed with their insights, you can create a SeatPlan strategy that helps you compare cheap seats against the best-in-the-house, and decide which views are worth paying for.
Seat Plans
Our techy friends have built the most accurate interactive seating plans on the market, so you can browse views from every corner of the auditorium before narrowing down your seat selection. If you don’t know where the best seats might be or the difference between cost in different sections, our Seat plans are the perfect place to start and our Venue pages complement them with answers to your frequently asked questions.
Best For: No idea where to start. A full theatre-wide view. Working out the difference between stalls, circles and boxes. Accessibility info.Seat Views
Booking theatre tickets online has never been easier, but it’s still a gamble when you sit down. We can’t do anything about the tall person in front of you or the loud snack eater to your left. But we can help you see the view from other theatregoers’ eyes as you book. No CGI. No fakes. No edits. Our community of theatre fans have uploaded thousands of photos to our seating plans. No more hesitating over restricted views; no need to guess whether it’s worth upgrading from Row G to Row C. With ratings for view, legroom and comfort, you’re sure to find a seat that works for you.
Best for: After you’ve Picked a price band or area to hone in on your perfect seat. Comparing views in similar places.We Reward and Thank our Community
