In TicketSpice, you can add tables to your venue for events where attendees sit together around a table, such as banquets or galas. You can add round or rectangular tables to your venue.

Warning: The venue builder on a Reserved Seating page has a 15 minute inactivity timeout. To avoid losing progress, users must save their changes at least every 15 minutes if they are not actively editing. If changes are not saved within this timeframe, the system will not retain any updates.
