Abstract: A computer-implemented method of remotely influencing a performer at a live event is disclosed herein. The method, for example, can be implemented via a customer device including a display, a processor, and a memory configured to store an application that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the method. The method can include displaying a graphical user interface configured to receive user inputs, receiving a first user input including a user request for the performer to take a user-specified action during the live event, displaying terms and conditions associated with the user request, receiving a second user input including a user acceptance of the terms and conditions associated with the user request, and transmitting the user request to a performer device upon receiving the user acceptance of the terms and conditions associated with the user request.
