General Admission Events
If your event is general admission, all you have to do is to reduce your Price Level's capacity to ensure that you are not selling tickets over what your venue can accommodate considering the safe distancing or you can set the Capacity Cap to enforce the capacity across all the price levels
Theater-style events
If your event is assigned seat with an amphitheater style seating, you may need to add some empty seats between each attending party.
To do so go to the 'Edit Event' page for the event, go to 'Tickets Tab' and set the 'Seats between each party' to the number of seats you need to leave between each party to adhere to safe distancing. When the buyer tries to purchase the tickets, the system will consider those extra seats and automatically enforce that while helping the buyer in selecting their seats.
If you need to leave vacant rows between parties, for example, you want to leave one row vacant after each row, simply do not add tickets for those rows. In other words, add tickets to row 1 and 3 but don't add tickets to row 2 and 4.
You can also set the “maximum party size”. To do so, edit each price level or variation and set the “Maximum number to purchase” to the maximum party size.
If you are concerned that you are going to have a lot of wasted seats because of the social distancing blocked seats, you can restrict the buyers on how they can pick their seats. For example, you may want to not allow buyers to pick seats in the middle of a row and limit them to the left and right side of the aisle. To do so, from the “Details” tab > “Options” section, “seating chart” box, choose the proper option.
You can always unblock the automatically blocked seats from the “Add/Update tickets” page.
Round-table / cabaret-style events
For round-table events, you may want to make sure that the whole table is being purchased by 1 party only and so the parties cannot share tables.
To do so, edit the price level / variation and set the “Minimum number to purchase” to the size of the table.
Timed-events (events with time-slots)
Recurring events, with time-slots, that can be used to limit the visitors to an event or activity are explained in details at the following blog and video:

Capacity Cap
In all type of events, you can specify a maximum capacity to ensure not more than certain number of tickets are sold across all the price levels and regardless of the seating arrangement.
To do so go to the 'Edit Event' page for the event, go to 'Tickets Tab' and set the 'Capacity Cap' to the maximum number of tickets you want to sell.
Outdoor Events
Considering the COVID-19 situation, it may be safer and less restricted to move the events outdoor, in a parks or an open area.
