Do you need event gear?

Hand-picked for this exact result — no generic lists.

Seat them like an event pro.

Industry planning figures — the venue's posted capacity always wins.

  1. Subtract 15% for aisles.

    Nobody sits in the aisle, but everybody needs one.

  2. Count the exits.

    Capacity means nothing without enough ways out.

  3. Mind the chairs.

    Folding chairs pack tighter than banquet chairs with arms.

  4. Confirm with the venue.

    Posted occupancy beats any calculator.

Worked example

One concrete case, with the assumptions spelled out.

9 × 6 m room, theater rows

54 m² at 0.65 m² per chair gives 83 chairs — about 70 after aisles.

ƒ(x)chairs = floor(floor area ÷ m² per chair), minus ~15% for aisles
