Send these numbers to our events team on WhatsApp. We'll come back with a plan for ticketing, check-in, permits and onsite support. See Pyalm Events
Pyalm Events & Ticketing runs the whole event for you: online ticket sales, face and QR check-in, WhatsApp tickets, permit support, badge printing and an onsite crew in Dubai.
Standing concerts allow about 0.5 m² per person, cocktail receptions around 0.9, theatre rows 0.9, banquet rounds about 1.4, cabaret 1.7, classroom 1.8 and boardroom layouts 2.5 or more. Take away space for the stage, bars, buffets, aisles and emergency exits first.
These are planning estimates. Your real maximum is the capacity approved for the venue by civil defence and written into your event permit. Use whichever number is lower.
