Facebook + Ticketmaster = Sit Next To Your Friends
It's an integration so smart and simple that it's amazing no one has done it sooner: Ticketmaster has launched a new social integration that allows fans to instantly share and see where their friends are sitting at live events through a Facebook integration with Ticketmaster's Interactive Seat Maps.
Currently launched in the UK only, fans can visit an event on Ticketmaster.co.uk then select and purchase from available seats via the Interactive Seat Map and tag themselves to their seats. Fans have already been able to RSVP their attendance at events via Facebook and share that with their friends, but seat locations is a new feature that will inevitably spread to other Ticketmaster markets.

Somebody is laughing his Azoff for sure as the cash register is ringing. Facebook, Ticketmaster, LiveNation, Universal Records – what a conglomerate! Truly universal.
Was it this what Kevin Godley had in mind when he instigated “One World, One Voice, One Tribe, One Choice” some 20 years ago? Probably not.
