Sätesplats

Sätesplats is a Swedish noun that refers to an assigned or reserved seat, usually in a vehicle or a venue. It is a compound of säte (seat) and plats (place) and denotes a specific seat with a designated location rather than a general area.

In transportation, sätesplats denotes the seat number shown on a ticket or reservation. The seat may be reserved in advance or assigned at check-in or boarding, depending on the operator’s policy. A sätesplats is typically identified by a combination such as a letter and number that indicates the row and seat.

In venues such as theatres, cinemas, arenas, or conference centers, sätesplats means a reserved seat within the hall. Tickets with assigned seating list the sätesplats, for example “sätesplats 7C,” to indicate the exact location of the seat.

Usage notes and related terms: The term is commonly used in Swedish to distinguish a reserved seat from unassigned or general seating. Related terms include plats (seat), säte, and reserverad plats. The concept is standard in Sweden and other Swedish-speaking contexts, appearing in tickets and reservation communications for travel and events.
