160 FanSnap Maps, at Your Service!
When we launched the public beta of FanSnap this past Fall, we started with about twenty dynamic FanSnap Maps (patent pending). The plan was that fans could take them for a test drive, and we could learn a bit more, before we rolled them out.
Fans told us how much they appreciate being able to using the colored “heat map” markers to see ticket price ranges at a glance. Fans still can’t believe that when you ZOOM into our maps, you can actually see specific ticket offers from multiple providers with specific row labeling. Quickly spotting those light-colored low price tickets among the pricier tickets on the map appears to be among many fans’ “top three” delights, along with scoring a backstage pass, and catching a fly ball.
We learned a lot from how you used the maps, and from your thoughtful suggestions. We made some improvements (stay tuned for more surprises very soon). Then we unleashed our map team, who have been absolutely on fire! I am pleased to say that, with today’s release, we now have more than 160 FanSnap Maps live on FanSnap. … and many more coming!
If you haven’t already, give FanSnap Maps a spin. We made them just for you.
