Hot Spot Seating Chart

Has anyone worked on coding a "Hot Spot Seating Chart" in which there is a graphical layout of a theater, for example, and the user is able to select the seat(s) for which they want to purchase a ticket based on available seats? I am working on a Laravel project that would really benefit from this feature but after doing some looking online I am at a blank as to the best way in which to proceed.

Thanks, Ken

All the ones that I know of are created with flash. A couple other ways would be to use image maps (ahhh memories) or a lot of absolute positioning with CSS

I had thought about Flash, but since it isn't exactly mobile/iPad friendly discounted it as a solution. Any suggestions on where to look for a good start on other methods?
