First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for interactively selecting one or more tickets to seats at a venue by an end user over a network, the method comprising:
- transmitting first data to an application running on a personal computing device, the first data including information descriptive of available individual seats at the venue, the first data processed by the application to generate a graphical user interface on the personal computing device that comprises an interactive seating map representing individual seats at the venue;
receiving from the personal computing device second data representing one or more seats selected by a touch screen input; and
receiving over the network from the personal computing device third data representing payment information.
