GitHub trending 124-star StadiView proves there's already demand for seat visualization from fans — but it's a solo dev demo; the gap is the platform-integrated consumer product.
StubHub launched a 'Virtual View' 360° feature and Ticketmaster offers seat previews, while AViewFromMySeat.com is a long-running consumer site and the StadiView prototype tweet drew 127 replies — confirming real pull from both platforms and fans.StubHub Announces 'Virtual View' - Preview Your Seat In 360 Degrees ↗A View From My Seat ↗Why do we still buy stadium tickets without ever seeing what the view from the seat actually looks like? ↗
The big platforms (StubHub, Ticketmaster) have built this in-house, and AViewFromMySeat.com covers the consumer-photo niche — a B2B embeddable widget for mid-market ticketers is a real but narrow gap, not a blue ocean.StubHub Announces 'Virtual View' - Preview Your Seat In 360 Degrees ↗A View From My Seat ↗

Live events, sports and concerts are durable categories and 3D/AR previews are an adoption-rising trend, not a fad — likely 5+ year relevance.
StadiView's solo-dev prototype proved the core 3D seat-preview loop works, but scaling to thousands of real venues with accurate sun-angle and pitch-distance data is a heavy content/3D-asset problem that slows a real product.football-stadium/README.md at main - GitHub ↗thebuggeddev/football-stadium — GitHub trending stats & insights ↗
