Today we are excited to announce that we have entered into a partnership with to integrate our view from seat ticketing technology, Seat Preevue, with their box office system.

The initiative is part of LW Theatres' ongoing commitment to adopting innovative solutions that address evolving customer expectations and streamline the ticket purchasing process.

Martin Crosier, Director of Ticketing and Data at LW Theatres, said: “We’re delighted to have partnered with Preevue. Their advanced ‘view from seat’ technology will elevate the booking experience for audiences across our six West End venues. Following the recent rollout of our new ticketing system powered by Line-Up, this is another important milestone as we continue to innovate to prioritise our audiences’ needs at every stage of the booking journey.”

Ryan Metcalfe, CEO at Preevue, expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership: "We are excited to partner with LW Theatres to integrate our view from seat technology into some of the most iconic theatres not just in London's West End but globally. This collaboration is about more than just technology; it's about providing total transparency to audiences during the booking process. Our aim is to empower patrons with information about seats that enables them to make informed decisions at any price point. The potential of this technology extends beyond seat selection; it's an innovative tool for productions to engage audiences even before the curtain rises. By presenting the spectacular designs of sets, stages, and the venues themselves during the booking process, we're not just selling a seat - we're offering a glimpse into the spectacular experience that awaits.”

As we continue to grow our presence in the Media & Entertainment and Heritage sectors, let's not forget where it all started: the world of Theatre.

It's where our passion met purpose, LiDAR scanning and building millimetre-accurate digital twins of the world's most iconic stages, enhancing productions with previz and lighting visualization, and improving producers' and audiences' experiences with Sightline Analysis and Seat Preevue technology. For us, theatre will always be our home.

From London, to New York and LA and back again - the last couple of months have been some of our busiest yet at Preevue.

Take a look at some of the incredible spaces we've recently LiDAR scanned, including Disney's New Amsterdam Theatre, The Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, and ATG's King's Theatre in Brooklyn.

Each of these scans took our team around half a day to complete; half a day onsite to open up a vast array of visualisation and creative opportunities.
