1. A method comprising:
receiving, from a first server associated with a first entity, at a web browser on a device, a webpage with a ticket inventory from the first server;
receiving, from a second server associated with a second entity, a map, pre-defined according to an event and a venue, wherein the first entity and the second entity are different entities and the map is one of an interactive map or a static map;
verifying whether the interactive map is available and switching to the static map when the interactive map is not available, wherein an availability of the interactive map is based on one of an unauthorized access and a connectivity issue;
when the interactive map is available, mapping, on the device with the web browser, seats from the ticket inventory with respective sections on the map until each ticket of the ticket inventory received from the first server is mapped against a section;
when the interactive map is not available, generating a tabular ticket list of available tickets on the webpage displayed on the device;
rendering, on the webpage displayed on the device, a combination of the map and an indication of a quantity of tickets in the ticket inventory, an amount for each ticket of the ticket inventory, and a location on the map for each ticket of the ticket inventory, without altering the ticket inventory from the first server;
providing, on the device with the web browser a three-dimensional view of the venue as viewed from the section of the ticket; and
facilitating selection of a ticket by providing the map.
