Abstract: A ticket transaction system includes auction logic coupled with a database of ticket inventory. The auction logic periodically executes online auctions among sellers of the ticket inventory to determine placement of tickets in a user interface view to potential buyers of the tickets. Real time event engine logic coupled with the auction logic provides real time updates of ticket inventory availability to mobile devices over a machine network. The system is adapted with logic to substitute in real time a next best value ticket for a sold ticket in the user interface.

Abstract: A ticket transfer system includes a ticket analyzer system includes logic adapted to receive an image of a ticket to an event.

The ticket analyzer system includes logic adapted to apply received signals on weather, time, and crowd conditions for the event to affect a price displayed for the ticket on an online exchange.
