Hi, So glad you like FanSnap! We've made more improvements to the site that we think will help fans find those just-right tickets even easier than before. A key focus has been our interactive (clickable) maps that fans can use to see all the tickets in a venue at a glance. We hope our maps will make it even easier for fans to find the seats they want in the row they want at the price they want from the provider they want. Please let us know what you think.
