With the rapid increase in performance venues — including NHN Link's Link the Space opening — centered around Daehangno and Seoul Arts Center, audiences lack seat-specific sightline and acoustics information for new venues, wasting an average of 15-20 minutes on seat selection when purchasing tickets. This often results in dissatisfied seat purchases followed by refunds and repurchases, costing $2.25-3.75 (~3,000-5,000 KRW) in fees per transaction. New venues especially have zero reviews, making 'seat gambling' unavoidable.
Solution
Crowdsource seat-specific sightline photos and 360-degree views per venue, combined with AI-based acoustic simulation (predicting quality based on seat distance and angle) to provide seat recommendations. Core features: (1) Upload and browse real photos by seat, (2) Optimal seat recommendations by performance genre (classical/musical/theater), (3) Deep-link integration with ticket booking sites.
Target: Ages 20-40 who attend performances at least once per month, with annual performance spending of $375+ (~50만원+)
Revenue Model: Premium Subscription at $2.15/month (~2,900 KRW) per account (basic views free; 360-degree views & AI recommendations are Premium). Venue operators: official seat view registration at $74/month (~9.9만원) per venue.
