Ticketmaster introduces new interactive seat chart

For years Stubhub has used a seating map where you could simply click the section and it would tell you the row and the price. Well now Ticketmaster has taken it one step further, introducing a new interactive seating chart for Yankee tickets where you can check the exact seat you want. You can tell if the seat is on the aisle, how many seats are available and even determine if you are covered by an overhang.

I searched through a few games and realized the obvious, tons of expensive seats are available, even for premium games like this weekends series against the Red Sox, the following week against the Mets and even for weekend summer games like old timers day against the Rockies.

This is helpful though, because I realized that the Yankees aren't lying when they say all the bleacher seats are sold out, but I also realize that they hold back a lot of seats to sell as packages. If Ticketmaster and the Yankees could just lower the charges (Yanks the ticket prices, and Ticketmaster handling fees) I know I would rather be able to buy the exact seats I want knowing that they are possibly the first row or possibly aisle seats.
