The correct sentence is "a number of seats have been made available," since "seats" is plural in this case. If the word was "seat," then the correct sentence would be "a seat has been made available."
My humble opinion is:It is quite valid to argue that as number is a noun in the singular then its verb has should also be singular. It's a little confusing because a number refers to more than one item so there is a tendency to use a verb in the the plural form.
Fortunately, or not, these rules of English are not widely understood and are not always followed, so few people would worry which version you use.
