SEAT GUIDE SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seat guide system that allows easily reaching a designated seat position even if there are a large number of seats. SOLUTION: The seat guide system includes a plurality of terminals each having a radio tag reading sensor for reading a tag number that matches a seat number recorded on an admission ticket brought close thereto; and a database for storing the correspondence between the tag number and the seat position and the relationship between each of a plurality of seating lists and each of the terminals, the plurality of seating lists obtained when the seat positions in an entire hall are separated into the seating lists corresponding to the number of the terminals. Each of the terminals searches the database for the seat position corresponding to the tag number read from the admission ticket and for the terminal that displays the seating list for the seat position. A means is provided which, if the terminal resulting from the search is the terminal that did the search, displays the seating list where there is the seat position corresponding to the tag number read from the admission ticket to provide guidance to the corresponding seat position and which, if the terminal is a different one, displays an overall seating list showing the installation location and direction of the different terminal so as to provide guidance to the positions of the terminals capable of displaying the seat position.
