I would look up a general procedure or template online (e.g., search for a "VIP seating plan guide") to get a basic idea.
I would try to find a team member who has done the task before and ask them to briefly explain the first two steps.
I would wait until my Event Manager is less busy and ask them to explain the entire task again from the beginning.
I would immediately ask the Event Manager, "Can you just show me the first step, so I know where to begin?"
I would put the task aside and focus on other duties I already know how to complete, hoping to figure it out later.
