“We’ve done away with archaic two dimensional seat maps in most of our amphitheaters across the country and we believe the fans are going to love it,” said Bryan Perez, Live Nation Global Digital President. “Our new maps provide music fans with a direct link to their seat, wherever it may be in the venue, in just seconds.”

With these 3D seat models, which are animated three-dimensional images of Live Nation amphitheaters, users will be able to familiarize themselves with the venue in just seconds on their computer. Fans can see a realistic view of the facility and test out the different seating options and their corresponding view of the stage prior to purchasing tickets. Music fans can also make selections for premium seats and VIP boxes. Links to each of the new maps are listed below.

LiveNation.com is a leading destination for music fans as a live music search engine offering tour dates and information on artists and venues to fans around the world, as well as an important access point for concert tickets for registered ticket club members, VIP parking and club access. Collectively, Live Nation’s websites are the second most visited event websites in the United States, according to Nielsen//NetRatings. The company expects to roll out 3D seat maps for additional Live Nation venues in the coming year.
