Abstract
Computing systems and methods for enhanced ticket sales are provided. The enhanced ticket sales may include presentation of community-sourced seat information to a potential ticket buyer that describes the human experience of sitting in each particular seat at a venue. The community-sourced seat information for each particular seat can be photos, comments, or other data that have been gathered by a ticket server from online content posted by people that have attended previous events in that seat. The online content can be gathered from email accounts, social network accounts, or other online sources. In this way, the human experience of some or all of the people who have sat in a particular seat at various events, as recorded in photos, comments, articles or other online data, can be collected, filtered, and provided to a potential purchaser of a ticked for that seat.
