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 extract information about the ticket from the image. The ticket analyzer includes logic adapted to apply the extracted information to identify a primary market system for the ticket and to verify validity of the ticket with the primary market system. 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.

Claims

1. A ticket transfer system, comprising:

a ticket analyzer system comprising logic adapted to receive an image of a ticket to an event;

the ticket analyzer system comprising logic adapted to extract information about the ticket from the image;
