  • venues can be movie theaters, playhouses, zoos, theme parks and the like.
  • Specific events are particular movies, plays or shows that are occurring within the venue.
  • One embodiment of the invention is a ticketless system for providing a consumer with admission to a particular venue to attend a particular event.
  • This embodiment includes: a venue inventory database configured to store an inventory of admissions to particular events at a venue; a payment module that obtains a consumer identifier and charges an amount for an admission on an account corresponding to the consumer identifier; a purchased admission database configured to record the consumer identifier along with the admissions to the venue purchased on the account corresponding to the consumer identifier; and a ticketless admission gate configured to capture and verify a consumer identifier against the purchased admission database.
  • Another embodiment of the invention is a ticketless system for providing a consumer with admission to a particular venue to attend a particular event.
  • This embodiment provides: means for storing an inventory of admissions to particular events at particular venues; means for charging an amount for an admission on an account corresponding to a consumer identifier; means for recording purchased admissions and associated consumer identifiers; and means for capturing a consumer identifier upon entry of a consumer into a venue.
  • Yet another embodiment of the invention is a method for providing a number of admissions to an event at a venue to a consumer with a consumer identifier.
  • This method includes: querying a venue inventory database to determine if the number of admissions is available; requesting authorization for the price of the number of admissions on an account corresponding to the consumer identifier if the number of admissions is available; recording the number of admissions with the consumer identifier in a purchased admission database if the authorization is granted; subtracting the number of admissions from the venue inventory database if the authorization is granted; capturing the consumer identifier during entry of the consumer into the venue; and verifying the consumer identifier against the purchased admission database.
  • One other embodiment of the invention is a method for selling a number of admissions to an event at a venue to a consumer with a consumer identifier that provides: determining if the number of admissions to the event is available; requesting authorization for the price of the number of admissions on an account corresponding to the consumer identifier if the number of admissions is available; recording the number of admissions with the consumer identifier if the authorization is granted; reducing an inventory of admissions to the event by the number of admissions if the authorization is granted; capturing the consumer identifier during entry of the consumer into the venue; and admitting into the venue a number of entrants equal to the number of admissions after verification of the consumer identifier.
  • Still another embodiment of the invention is a system for providing a consumer with admission to a venue that provides: a first module comprising instructions for receiving a first consumer identifier and using the identifier to electronically pay for one or more admissions to an event at a venue; an entry gate at the venue, comprising a data entry terminal for receiving a second consumer identifier; and a second module for comparing the first consumer identifier with the second consumer identifier, and responsive to a match of the first and second consumer identifiers, providing the consumer with admission to the venue.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de prix de places ou d'admission sans billets à des événements se déroulant dans divers lieux. Ce système comprend un logiciel servant à l'achat de prix de places ou d'admissions, par présentation d'une carte de crédit/débit à un site de réservation sur l'Internet, le numéro de la carte de crédit étant alors stocké dans une base de données d'admissions. Le consommateur peut ensuite se rendre sur le lieu de l'événement approprié et passer sa carte de crédit/débit dans un lecteur, au niveau de l'entrée du lieu ou du moyen de transport. Si l'appareil détecte que cette carte de crédit/débit possède une autorisation, le client est admis à entrer et à pénétrer dans le lieu ou dans le véhicule de transport.
