Abstract
Amenity service point data is stored, where the amenity service point data specifies, for a plurality of amenities in a venue, a respective plurality of different geographic points at which the amenities are located within the venue. Locations of a plurality of mobile computing devices that are within the venue are determined. For each particular amenity among the plurality of amenities, a crowdedness level of the particular amenity is determined based in part on the locations of the plurality of mobile computing devices relative to the geographic point corresponding to the particular amenity. A request to view information relating to a certain amenity is received. Particular information relating to the certain amenity, where the information includes an indication of the crowdedness level of the certain amenity is caused to display. The crowdedness level of the certain amenity is periodically re-determined during duration of an event at the venue.
