Whether installed for a single event or designed to serve audiences long term, audience seating helps transform a space into a venue.
At All Access, we provide temporary and long-term audience seating solutions, helping production teams create seating environments that support the unique goals of each event. Our seating systems are often delivered as part of a larger staging package, integrating seamlessly with stages, platforms, ramps, accessibility solutions, and other event infrastructure.
Every Seat Serves a Purpose
No two events have the same seating requirements. A TV production may need tiered audience risers that complement camera angles and production logistics. A music festival may require premium hospitality viewing areas. A sporting event may need elevated viewing platforms for team managers and VIPs, while a theater requires permanently installed seating designed for long-term use.
Because every venue and every production is different, seating systems must be flexible enough to support a wide range of applications.
Temporary Seating Solutions
Many live events take place in spaces that weren’t originally designed to host audiences. Festival grounds. Stadium fields. Convention centers. Sound stages. Empty warehouses. Parking lots. Public spaces. Modular seating systems make it possible to transform these environments into functional event venues.
From uneven ground and limited footprints to unique audience layouts and accessibility requirements, All Access’ seating solutions are designed to adapt to those conditions rather than limiting events into a standard configuration. This flexibility allows the same seating system to support everything from television audiences and festivals to sporting events, one-off special events, and other live productions.
Versa Bleacher Seating System
Built using the Versa Stage® platform, All Access’ Versa Bleacher Seating system is designed for flexibility, speed, and reliability. Its modular design allows seating layouts to be configured for a wide range of audience capacities and layouts while integrating seamlessly with staging infrastructure and adapting to the unique needs of each production.
The system is available in multiple seating profiles and can be configured in standard or custom layouts, including angled seating arrangements for venues that require something beyond traditional straight bleachers. An easy leveling system helps accommodate uneven surfaces, while integrated access pathways and optional rental chairs support complete, turnkey seating solutions.
Additional Viewing Solutions
Beyond bleachers, All Access also provides a variety of audience viewing solutions designed for specific event applications. Elevated viewing platforms offer improved sightlines for spectators at sporting events, while also serving concerts, festivals, and other live productions.
Customized hospitality structures create premium viewing environments for VIP lounges, sponsor activations, and other guest experiences where comfort and visibility are equally important.
ADA Seating Solutions
Accessible seating is important for any venue, ensuring all guests can enjoy the event alongside family and friends. All Access integrates ADA-compliant platforms, ramps, and more into any audience seating package. Learn more about accessible seating.

Long-Term Seating Solutions
While many seating setups are intended for short-term use, some productions and venues require audience seating that will remain in place for an extended period, such as long-term television broadcasts, theaters, performing arts centers, and other public venues.
These semi-permanent installations combine the flexibility of modular construction with the durability required for ongoing use. Rather than being designed for frequent reconfiguration, the structural framing is permanently anchored for the duration of the installation, with the seating decks securely attached to create a stable, long-lasting seating environment.
Real World Applications
Dancing With The Stars
For Dancing With the Stars, All Access developed a fully custom tiered balcony system, creating an elevated viewing area tailored specifically to the production. The audience environment also incorporated All Access rental staging for the studio floor and seated house audience, combining custom and modular systems within a single television production.
