Eventbrite, the San Francisco startup run by husband and wife team Kevin and Julia Hartz, just launched a suite of tools event-organizers can use to sell reserved seating.
Eventbrite sent us a bunch of GIFs to show how their software works. It looks really simple and handy.
Here's how event-organizers can plot out their seating arrangement:

This tool lets event-organizers set where the stage is relative to the seats, giving ticket buyers an idea of where they might have the best vantage points:

This gif shows how reserved seating is handy for more than just performances. Event-organizers can put people nearer to the dance floor and bar. They can make sure the right people sit next to each other:
