Ace Seating

Back on site at Clyde today with the project now complete. Getting the final photos & content to show you the features of this amazing venue.

Amazing project from the ground up, bringing a premium experience to Crest Education.

Keep your eyes peeled for this one.

1,600 seats. Four days. No structural rebuild.

Our first major New Zealand installation is complete — the Due Drop Events Centre in Auckland, fitted out with new Centura CT302 Falcon chairs by local partner Seating Solutions Ltd.

What makes it stand out is how it was done. The venue's original bracket and rail structure, installed back in the early 2000s, stayed exactly where it was. The CT302 Falcon is designed to fit straight onto it — so 1,600 end-of-life seats were swapped for new ones, seat for seat, in just four working days.

The result: up to 70% less installation time versus a full replacement, with far less cost, labour and disruption to the venue. Stage two lands in 2027, with another 1,000 seats to follow.

Our team never stops innovating — finding solutions, finding better ways to bring premium seating to every venue in the country. And now, we've cracked something big.

Introducing the Falcon Mount.

For twenty years, replacing seats on legacy bracket-and-rail systems meant one thing — rip out the whole structure and start over.
Slow. Expensive. Disruptive. We've made it obsolete.

The Falcon Mount drops straight onto the existing under-structure — old seats out, new seats in, seat for seat. 1,600 seats proven in just four days. No rebuild. No downtime. No compromise.

This is the upgrade venues have been waiting for.

Pictured here is our Luxura Seat in an MCG Corporate Suite. But if you look closely, this is the same chair used at:

— Anfield, home of Liverpool FC (Commentary & VIP Seating)
— Wembley Stadium (VIP)
— Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Players' Seating)
— Amex Stadium (Dressing Room)
— Vantelin Dome, Nagoya, Japan

Backed by the biggest stadiums and the most prestigious clubs, the Luxura is the perfect upgrade to any suite — with additional options such as wireless phone charging, custom embroidery, and USB power available at every seat.

Maximising space, comfort and utility. A real fan experience.
The Best Seat in the House.

Meet Dale. A Managing Director at Ace Seating.
Captured in Clyde mid-installation for Crest Education, Dale is at the forefront of each installation we do.⁠
⁠
Whether it's a school, a stadium, a lecture theatre or a corporate box, Dale is one of our key team members making sure every seat goes in straight, level and to spec — no matter how big the job or how tight the timeframe.

Away from the tools, you'll find him at Lancefield Football and Netball Club most weekends — an ex-player who still attends for the love of the club and the community. Oh, and a proud Collingwood supporter.
We don't hold it against him though.

On-site or on the sideline, Dale gives everything he's got. The kind of person you want leading every installation. We're glad he's on our team.

A little behind the scenes for you.

Our team is currently onsite at Ballarat installing 5,000+ Centura CT300 seats into the new grandstand. It's a big one, and there's still a bit to go before it's fully handed over — but we thought some in-progress shots would give a proper feel for the scale of the job and what goes into a fit-out of this size.

What a finish to the World Cup — and what better time to take a closer look at some of the biggest names in world football.

First up: the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City.
The chair installed in the premium areas at the Etihad is the same one we supply to corporate boxes and members' spaces here in Australia — the Luxura. Deep cushioning, a supportive back, and a finish that holds up in a top-tier hospitality setting.

It's a seat that's already proven itself at one of the most famous grounds in world football, so when you're specifying for a corporate box, members' area or premium fit-out, you're not just getting a good-looking chair. You're getting one that's doing the job at the highest level overseas.

Did you know? We provide seats for stadiums, but also the corporate boxes.

When people think of stadium seating, most picture the tiered rows and the main bowl. But behind the scenes, the corporate suites, media boxes and hospitality areas need just as much attention — often with a very different brief. Premium finishes, tailored layouts, better upholstery, more space per seat, and a look that matches the fit-out of the room.

Every box has its own feel, and the designs are customised down to the fabric, configurations and additions.

Here's a look at one of our recently completed upgrades.

A closer look at the recently installed Centura with Scribe Table Addition.

Designed for lecture theatres, training rooms and any space where people need to take notes or work from a laptop, the scribe tablet folds neatly out of the way when it's not in use and sits at a comfortable working height when it is.

Suited for many of the variations of our Centura seat, it's a solid (literally) option where comfort over long sessions matters just as much as the look of the room. Durable, Strong, and the perfect fit.

Installed recently at the AFL Umpires Lecture Theatre, Windy Hill.
