SeatKarma is an event search engine that scours ticket resellers to find the best second-hand market prices for the sporting, theatrical and musical events you want to attend.

On top of the basic ticket price aggregation, Seat Karma has seating maps for over 1600 venues—similar, but more comprehensive than previously reviewed SeatQuest. Of those venues, 1300 of them are live maps where the available seats are mapped out with markers to give you an idea of where you'll be relative to the action. Out of the live maps, there are currently 140 venues with actual photos taken from the stands in various positions throughout the venues to give you an actual perspective on how you'll see the court or stage. For venues that have more complicated seating arrangements than simple stadium tiers, such as small theaters, Seat Karma has 3D-style seating maps to show how the various balconies mezzanine levels overlap.
