Described are systems and methods for designing certain aspects of an event venue and for communicating information regarding the event and the event venue to others. Certain embodiments provide a dynamic seat map via which an operator can assign certain characteristics to specific seats and/or seating sections. Certain embodiments generate interactive maps for users, via which information from a plurality of sources may be integrated and visually displayed. The user may specify certain criteria, and the interactive map may identify to the user seats and/or sections that match such criteria. Certain embodiments provide an interactive seat map via which users can select seats and share information.

1. A system for providing a seat map, comprising: computing hardware;a non-transitory medium storing instructions that when executed by the computing hardware, cause the computing hardware to perform operations comprising: providing a first user interface that includes an interactive seat map to each user in a plurality of users, wherein the first user interface enables each user in the plurality of users to identify a particular seat within a venue and request a ticket for the particular seat;detecting one or more first user inputs, received via the first user interface, that identifies a particular seat within a venue and that requests a ticket for the particular seat for an event;identifying a first ticket for the event that corresponds to the particular seat;enabling the first user in the plurality of users to purchase the first ticket;determining that user activity by the plurality of users is interfering with providing, to a plurality of user terminals, substantially real-time updates to an interactive seat map;at least partly in response to determining that user activity is interfering with providing, to the plurality of user terminals, substantially real-time updates to the interactive seat map:providing a second user interface to a second user, wherein the second user interface enables a second user to identify a characteristic of a seat or ticket but does not enable the second user to identify a particular seat. 2. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the characteristic includes a location characteristic. 3. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the operations further include: notifying the second user of the determined interference;providing an option to the user to use the second user interface; anddetecting option-selection input corresponding to a request to use the second user interface. 4. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the characteristic includes a price constraint. 5. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein determining that user activity is interfering with providing, to the plurality of user terminals, substantially real-time updates to the interactive seat map, further comprises determining that changes in seat status information, indicating whether a given seat is available or unavailable, cannot be reflected in the interactive seat map in substantially real time. 6. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the operations further include measuring the user activity by quantifying traffic using the first interface or by tracking a number of ticket reservations. 7. A computer-implemented method comprising: providing a first user interface that includes an interactive seat map to each user in a plurality of users, wherein the first user interface enables each user in the plurality of users to identify a particular seat within a venue and request a ticket for the particular seat;detecting one or more first user inputs, received via the first user interface, that identifies a particular seat within a venue and that requests a ticket for the particular seat for an event;identifying a first ticket for the event that corresponds to the particular seat;enabling the first user in the plurality of users to purchase the first ticket;determining that user activity by the plurality of users is interfering with providing, to a plurality of user terminals, substantially real-time updates to an interactive seat map;at least partly in response to determining that user activity is interfering with providing, to the plurality of user terminals, substantially real-time updates to the interactive seat map:providing a second user interface to a second user, wherein the second user interface enables a second user to identify a characteristic of a seat or ticket but does not enable the second user to identify a particular seat. 8. The method as recited in claim 7, wherein the characteristic includes a location characteristic. 9. The method as recited in claim 7, further comprising: notifying the second user of the determined interference;providing an option to the user to use the second user interface; anddetecting option-selection input corresponding to a request to use the second user interface. 10. The method as recited in claim 7, wherein the characteristic includes a price constraint. 11. The method as recited in claim 7, wherein determining that user activity is interfering with providing, to the plurality of user terminals, substantially real-time updates to the interactive seat map, further comprises determining that changes in seat status information, indicating whether a given seat is available or unavailable, cannot be reflected in the interactive seat map in substantially real time. 12. The method as recited in claim 7, further comprising measuring the user activity by quantifying traffic using the first interface or by tracking a number of ticket reservations. 13. A non-transitory computer-program product having instructions that, when executed by the computing hardware, cause the computing hardware to perform operations comprising: providing a first user interface that includes an interactive seat map to each user in a plurality of users, wherein the first user interface enables each user in the plurality of users to identify a particular seat within a venue and request a ticket for the particular seat;detecting one or more first user inputs, received via the first user interface, that identifies a particular seat within a venue and that requests a ticket for the particular seat for an event;identifying a first ticket for the event that corresponds to the particular seat;enabling the first user in the plurality of users to purchase the first ticket;determining that user activity by the plurality of users is interfering with providing, to a plurality of user terminals, substantially real-time updates to an interactive seat map;at least partly in response to determining that user activity is interfering with providing, to the plurality of user terminals, substantially real-time updates to the interactive seat map:providing a second user interface to a second user, wherein the second user interface enables a second user to identify a characteristic of a seat or ticket but does not enable the second user to identify a particular seat. 14. The computer-program product as recited in claim 13, wherein the characteristic includes a location characteristic. 15. The computer-program product as recited in claim 13, wherein the operations further include: notifying the second user of the determined interference;providing an option to the user to use the second user interface; anddetecting option-selection input corresponding to a request to use the second user interface. 16. The computer-program product as recited in claim 13, wherein the characteristic includes a price constraint. 17. The computer-program product as recited in claim 13, wherein determining that user activity is interfering with providing, to the plurality of user terminals, substantially real-time updates to the interactive seat map, further comprises determining that changes in seat status information, indicating whether a given seat is available or unavailable, cannot be reflected in the interactive seat map in substantially real time. 18. The computer-program product as recited in claim 13, wherein the operations further include measuring the user activity by quantifying traffic using the first interface or by tracking a number of ticket reservations.
