  • Ticket listing triggered by URL links
    Patent number: 11257138
    Abstract: A ticket purchase application is installed in a communication device to facilitate event ticket purchase.

The URL includes a unique code associated with a specific event. The operating system of the communication device may detect user interactions that trigger the URL. When the URL is triggered, the ticket purchase application may be started and the unique code in the URL may be parsed and forwarded to the ticket purchase application. The ticket purchase application uses the unique code to identify the event and searches for tickets associated with the event. The ticket purchase application may list available tickets of the event in an order based on the user's preference.
