First Claim
1. A method of dynamically setting event ticket prices:
- setting an initial seat ticket price for a first event based at least in part on historical ticket sales data and on historical event income data;
monitoring ticket sales data for the first event and storing ticket sales data in computer readable; and
setting a second seat ticket price after a ticket sale for the event has begun based at least in part on ticket sales data for the first event, on historical ticket sales data for at least one previous event, and on a specified price adjustment limit that indicates how much the second seat ticket price can vary from the initial seat ticket price.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for processing queue data and for providing queue messaging over a network. An illustrative queuing system includes a first queue configured to hold resource requests from a plurality of users, and program code stored in computer readable memory configured to determine or estimate whether a resource requested by a first resource request submitted by a first requester will be available when the first resource request will be serviced, and to transmit a message over a network to the first requester indicating that the requested resource will not be available when the queued request is serviced if it is estimated or determined that the requested resource will not be available when the first request is serviced.
