After buying Zvents, StubHub has acquired Peekspy, a technology company that produces 3D technology that allows users to drill down to the seat level when choosing their seat for an event. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Peekspy’s site, Fanvenues, gives users a 3d view into sports and concert venues to make a more informed purchase about tickets. You can hover over a ticket group within a venue to highlight the section on the map and display a 3D view, which users can actually see their vantage point of the stage, court etc from.

Peepsky’s team will be moving from Singapore to San Francisco. eBay acquired StubHub back in 2007 for $310 million.
