Have you ever started talking to your friends about going to a concert or show and then tried to get tickets in the same area they planned on sitting, but couldn’t always coordinate in time? Or how about this one – you wait for what seems like an eternity for your friends to decide if you will go as a group to a concert or show, and a gaffe in communication happens where one set of people buy tickets but don’t tell the other set until it’s too late?

These things happen, I can personally attest to that.

But what if a solution to these conundrums was available? What if you could let your friends know that you bought your tickets and then show them exactly where you’ll be sitting on a live seating chart? Or what if your procrastination can finally come to an end, because your friends purchased their seats and instantly notified you via Facebook?

You don’t need to wonder any longer. Facebook, Live Nation and Ticketmaster have created a system that can help take your purchasing anxiety down a notch or four.

Mashable recently reported how this new feature will work.

• You can view if any of your Facebook friends have tagged themselves into the seats they purchased
• You can tag yourself into the seats you purchased, so your friends can see where you are sitting
• Tagged seats are slight “virtual pokes in the shoulder” to friends contemplating going to the same show/concert; a direct cause and affect action will occur with more people purchasing tickets

Mashable quoted Ticketmaster’s e-vp of ecommerce Kip Levin, of likining this process back to the “olden” (cringe!) days of buying tickets at the record store. Anyone remember Peaches? Please tell me I’m not the only one!

This latest innovation from Ticketmaster was made possible by doing the smartest thing any company can ever do… they listened to what their customers wanted.

Now if they would only go ahead and listen to us about some of the service fees! Kidding. Well, kind of.

With over 9,000 Ticketmaster and Live Nation events already active with Facebook tagging,  have you participated yet or are you planning to? We want to know!
