Ticketmaster Lets You Sit With Facebook Friends
An anonymous reader writes "Ticketmaster has added Facebook integration to its interactive seat maps. The new feature allows you to share your live event plans by tagging yourself into your seat, and thus allowing your Facebook friends to see where you are sitting. If you have already purchased tickets for an event, you can also tag yourself at a later date."
Too bad I will never take advantage of it, because I despise TicketMaster. Also, I don't have any Facebook friends.
...But I'm going to book my tickets with the friends I want to sit with. I could just imagine that one awkward person on your friends list coming and sitting next to you.
I absolutely can not believe that it took some stupid facebook integration bs to actually get this done. It's ridiculous that ticketmaster hasn't allowed you to choose seats all along. Every time I get tickets, you get to choose from 1 of 3 broad regions (main floor, lower bowl, and upper bowl). That's it. You can't even choose a specific section, much less a row or seat. A few months ago, a friend wanted tickets for a specific section of the arena, and we actually had to wait 4 days before enough tickets had sold that it began selling in the section he wanted. That's absolutely ridiculous.
The odds of your house being burglarized while the entire world knows you are not at home, however, are considerably higher.
