Many leagues provide their teams with XY coordinates for every seat in every arena/stadium (NBA, NHL have league deals for this). Other teams occasionally use a third party like PTP to provide this data.
KORE requires two things to map these XY coordinates to seats in our warehouse. The first is a CSV listing the section, row, seat, x, and y coordinates (a fairly standard TXT or CSV file). The second is a matching image that has the correct dimensions to match the XY coordinates provided in the file. This will allow us to create Tableau reports with live seats that have a background of the stadium.
Sample Mapping File
An example of the seating map document would go as follows:
- A large image that has your seat map on it, about 5000 px wide.
- A CSV file containing the XY Coordinates for each seat with the X and Y in two columns. The X and Y should be the distance from the top left of the image. (example below)

In the past, some teams have worked with PTP to collect this information.
