  • Publication number: 20230419194
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for improved ticket purchasing/selling process using a ticketing system. The purchasing process of tickets for a user can be facilitated by a web interface having an event selection menu configured to display one or more events having tickets available for purchase. Available inventories for tickets to one or more events can be displayed on an interactive venue map of the web interface. The user can choose desired seats for purchase via the venue map. Additional menus can facilitate the ability for a user to compare show dates, showtimes, and seating availability across different events. The ticketing system can also be configured to collect and process customer data through tracking pixels configured within the one or more pages of the web interface. Subsequently, bidding on digital marketing and advertisement can be conducted using the gathered customer data.

  • Patent number: 11107012
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying seat inventory at a venue and facilitating planning of ticket prices for events at the venue is presented. Methods to predict total revenue for an event are described. Also presented are systems and methods for determining at what price and when to release so-called ‘flex’ price tickets during an on-sale using the sales velocity and sales/inquiry ratios. Determining demand of seats from secondary markets is also described with methods to use the demand for either repricing the seats in the primary market or presenting ‘best value’ seats to a prospective purchaser.
