TktPlz supports four distinct event types, each with its own data model, booking flow, and configuration requirements. Choose the type that matches how your event is delivered and how attendees access it. This page explains each type in depth, including the specific fields and setup steps involved.
Seating
Open (zone-based)
Online
Registration
Seating events are held in a registered hall or cinema and give buyers the ability to select specific seats before checking out. This type is best for movies, theatre performances, concerts with reserved seating, and formal conferences.
Every seating event is linked to a hall and a screen within that hall. A hall can have multiple screens, each with a pre-configured seat layout. The seat layout determines which seats are available, how they are arranged by row and column, and what seat categories (types) exist.The total ticket count for the event is taken directly from the screen’s totalSeats value — you do not set a separate capacity.
Halls and screens are managed separately and must exist in TktPlz before you can create a seating event. When creating the event:
Enter the city and state where the venue is located.
Select a hall from the filtered list.
Select a screen within the hall.
TktPlz checks for scheduling conflicts in real time. Screens enforce a 1-hour buffer between events — if another event ends at 6:00 PM, the earliest your event can start on the same screen is 7:00 PM.
If a screen is already booked for an overlapping window (including the 1-hour buffer), the “Next” button is disabled. Choose a different time slot or screen.
Each screen stores a seatTypeCounts JSON object that defines the category breakdown, for example:
{ "Regular": 100, "Executive": 50, "Premium": 20}
When you choose categorized pricing for a seating event, the form automatically reads these categories and asks you to set a price for each. You do not enter seat counts manually — they come from the screen configuration.
Open events are general-admission events where the venue is divided into named zones. Buyers choose how many tickets they want in a zone — they do not pick individual seats. This type suits outdoor concerts, festivals, fairs, and any event with standing or general-access areas.
The event has a maxParticipantAllowed capacity that covers all zones combined. After creating the event, zones are configured separately. Each zone has:
Field
Description
name
Zone label displayed to buyers (e.g. “Pit”, “General”, “VIP”)
capacity
Maximum number of tickets that can be sold in this zone
ticketsSold
Running count of tickets sold; auto-incremented on booking
isSoldOut
Set to true automatically when the zone reaches capacity
Zone capacity is independent per zone. If the Pit zone has 200 capacity and 200 tickets have been sold, it shows as sold out even if other zones still have availability.
Open events support both flat and categorized pricing. With categorized pricing, you define the ticket tiers yourself — for example, GA at ₹300 and VIP at ₹800 — and set the count for each tier. The sum of all tier counts must equal maxParticipantAllowed.
Zone configuration (names and capacities) is set after the initial event is created. The event creation form captures the overall capacity; zones are added in a follow-up step.
Online events are delivered entirely over a video platform. No physical venue is involved. After a buyer completes payment, TktPlz grants access to the platform link. This type suits webinars, online workshops, virtual conferences, and live streams.
You can enable requires registration, which adds a registration step before the buyer can access the link. This is separate from payment — even free online events can require registration.
Online events support flat and categorized pricing. Categorized pricing lets you offer, for example, a standard ticket and a VIP ticket (with extended Q&A access or a recording), each at a different price with a separate count.
Registration events use a custom form to collect information from participants at sign-up. This type is designed for hackathons, competitions, academic conferences, and any event where you need structured information beyond a name and email.
If the event is a competition, you can enable team-based sign-ups:
Individual participation
Each participant registers on their own. They fill the custom form fields and complete payment individually.
Team-based participation
Teams register together. You set a minimum and maximum team size. The minTeamMembers and maxTeamMembers values are stored on the event and enforced at registration time.You can allow both individual and team participation simultaneously by enabling both options.
Registration events support flat and categorized pricing. For free events (hackathons, academic events), set isPaid to false — no pricing setup is required.
