  • Patent number: 11295244
    Abstract: A system and methods for mapping price and location of tickets in an event venue are described. An interactive event venue seat map is provided by a network-based system that implements an online marketplace for tickets for upcoming events. The interactive event venue seat map enables sellers to view pricing information and transaction information for both sold and current event listings for any section or zone in an event venue. The interactive event venue seat map allows sellers to browse and click on sections to see sold and listed data for any section and zone in the event venue and to compare a proposed sale price to available pricing information of sold and current event listings in comparable sections. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11157137
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for providing a dynamic interactive seat map are disclosed. A computer-implemented method may include receiving a base map illustrating locations of sections within an event venue, receiving polygon coordinates for a section depicted in the base map, determining a plurality of characteristics comprising a fill color, a stroke color, and a transparency for the section, and displaying an interactive seat map having the determined characteristics applied to the section of the base map.

  • Patent number: 9367848
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an interactive seat map showing locations of available tickets in an event venue are described. A client computer receives, from a network-based system, a base map illustrating locations of sections within the event venue, a coded image map for building a map overlay having a polygon for each section depicted in the base map, and an inventory for an event at the event venue. The inventory provides, for each section, section data that includes available tickets for each section within the event venue. The client computer displays an interactive seat map by loading the base map and building the map overlay on top of the base map so that each polygon of the map overlay aligns with the respective section of the base map. The client computer determines one or more characteristics for each polygon of the map overlay based on the received section data corresponding to each polygon.
