Abstract: Today an individual attending an event must undertake a second registration and purchasing sequence in order to attend a subsequent occurrence of the event. However, by the time they remember to re-register their interest may have waned or the event is sold out. In other instances, they forget even though the event does not sell out. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide registrants of an event with a means to re-register for the next occurrence of the event in a manner that was quick, simple, independent of execution of the registration/purchase steps with a service provider, and independent of completion of service provider support for the next event. Further, it would be beneficial to leverage the credential provided to the registrant for the current event in progress or just completed in the re-registration of the registrant for the next event. It would be further beneficial for said method to leverage the technology and devices of portable electronic devices associated with the registrant.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a user with re-registration for an event by presenting a previously used credential to a preceding occurrence of the event. The method includes: providing a registrant with a credential relating to an authorization for a first event from a microprocessor based computer system; and terminating the credential's ability to authorize the registrant for the first event. The microprocessor based computer system then receives a representation of the credential issues to the registrant and automatically registers the participant for a second event.
