Ticketmaster UK, a Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV) company, has launched the latest addition to their social integration which allows fans to instantly share and see where their friends are sitting at live events through Facebook integration with Ticketmaster Interactive Seat Maps.  

This consumer engagement tool is delivering a new innovative opportunity for fans to involve their friends in their live event plans. Fans can visit an event on Ticketmaster.co.uk then select and purchase from available seats via the Interactive Seat Map and tag themselves to their seats.

The latest social integration on Ticketmaster UK continues Ticketmaster's fan engagement initiatives and extends the sociability and excitement of the live entertainment experience. Fans have been able to RSVP their attendance at events via Facebook and share that with their friends, whilst also keeping up to date with events and the latest competitions via Ticketmaster's Facebook Page.

"Through extending our Event RSVP functionality to our Interactive Seating Maps, we are delivering a social experience for our consumers, extending consumer interaction," said Chris Edmonds, Managing Director, Ticketmaster UK. "Consumers also have full control over the information they're sharing. If they want to tag themselves into seats they can select whether to share that information with their Facebook friends or with the wider community."

With over 1000 Interactive Seat Maps currently available in the UK, Ticketmaster's latest Facebook integration represents another tool in our continued drive to build social connectivity online with Ticketmaster.co.uk.
