Find Where Your Facebook Friends Are Sitting At Events
If you use Ticketmaster online, you already know about its interactive seat maps feature for zooming in on seats and checking out reviews of the them by previous event-goers. Now you can also find where your Facebook friends are sitting at events you're considering attending, so you can book seats near them, or you can "tag" yourself so others can find you when they look to buy tickets.
The "see who's sitting where" feature went live Wednesday for more than 9,000 Ticketmaster and LiveNation events.
"Since first launching interactive seat maps, our fans have regularly told us how great the maps are for getting tickets close to family and friends," a Ticketmaster product manager says in a video explaining the new service. "That got us thinking: What if we made it easier to find where your friends were sitting directly in the map?"

Couldn't people just post the location of their seats on facebook?
I think people are crazy to post on Facebook exactly when/where they are going. They are just broadcasting to the world they are not home.....or to a stalker, where they will be.
Anonymous 11:18, only your friends would see where you would be, not everyone. A stalker or thief prob won't be on your friend list.
The stalker would have to be on their friends list.
