I like what SeatQuest is trying to do. But when I used it I found it tough to actually find a venue where there was a map available and when I did the tickets they had were Ticketsnow. I may start using them once they have everything in order. I currently use the other ticket comparison places, mainly www.tickex.com, because it is quick and simple to use.

I like using seatquest, and though there are not maps to every venue, most of the major sporting events are covered (MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA) and a good number of theatres and concerts. The tickets are not all Ticketsnow tickets, there are also StubHub, and Ticketnetwork. They collect the tickets for sale from various sources to display on the maps, which are actually pretty cool. But there is a chance that they've updated since you were last there.

Another site operating much like Seatquest that just got off the ground is <a href="http://ticketsftw.com">TicketsFTW</a>. It operates on the same principle of aggregate pricing for event tickets much like a Priceline/Orbitz does for travel/hotel pricing. They also have interactive seating charts for most events as well as a Google maps inset and some photos of the actual venue in which the event is being held.
