Digitizing venue maps

A computer assisted method embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium for generating an interactive digitized map of a venue seating arrangement, comprising:

• receiving a data source file with a venue seating arrangement, the venue seating arrangement comprising a plurality of sections, each section having a location in the venue seating arrangement, each section further having at least one row;
• generating from the data source file, a vectorized venue map comprising a plurality of section outlines, each section outline corresponding to a section of the venue seating arrangement;
• associating section labels with corresponding section outlines in the venue map;
• for at least one of the section outlines:
• determining locations of the rows within the section outline, based on the number of rows with the section outline and a distance between a front edge of a section outline and a back edge of the section outline;
• generating, within the section outline, lines indicating the determined locations of the rows within the section;
• placing within the venue map, the section label for the section outline and a row label for each row within the section outline;
• and
• storing in a computer storage medium the vectorized venue map in a vectorized representation including the section outlines, section labels, and row labels.
