Ticketmaster lets gig goers share seating info
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 26 October 2011
Ticketmaster UK has announced a new bit of Facebook integration which will mean friends on the social network going to the same events will be able to see where their pals are sitting (a service also useful for assassins I guess).
When punters buy tickets via the Ticketmaster website they can already alert their friends to that fact via a Facebook plug-in, and that service – called Event RSVP – will now integrate with the ticketing giant’s interactive seating maps system when tickets are bought for seated events.
Ticketmaster UK MD Chris Edmonds told CMU: “Through extending our Event RSVP functionality to our Interactive Seating Maps, we are delivering a social experience for our consumers, extending consumer interaction. Consumers also have full control over the information they’re sharing. If they want to tag themselves into seats they can select whether to share that information with their Facebook friends or with the wider community”.
