Abstract

There is provided systems and method for event purchase and upgrade options based on user parameters. A user may attend an event at a venue and have purchased admission for the event. Prior to attending the event, the user'"'"'s actions throughout the day may be tracked, such as an amount of sleep the user had the previous night and/or a workload throughout a day. Additionally, information about the venue may be collected, such as weather parameters and available ticketing. Based on the parameters of the user and/or the expected parameters of the user at the venue, the user may be offered upgrades to the user'"'"'s admission. Thus, the user may be able to sit in VIP seating if the user is tired or find a covered seating during warm weather. Moreover, items from merchants at the venue may be offered to the user based on the user'"'"'s parameters.

Claims

13. A method comprising:

accessing admission information for a user at a venue;

accessing at least one parameter corresponding to the user;

determining, using one or more hardware processors, a purchase option for the user for the venue based on the admission information and the at least one parameter; and

communicating the purchase option to the user.

1. A system comprising:

a non-transitory memory storing user information comprising admission information for a user at a venue; and

one or more hardware processors in communication with the non-transitory memory and configured to;

access the admission information for the user at the venue;

access at least one parameter corresponding to the user;

determine a purchase option for the user for the venue based on the admission information and the at least one parameter; and

communicate the purchase option to the user.

2. The system of claim 1, where the at least one parameter comprises at least one of a physical parameter of the user, financial information of the user, and a preference of the user.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more hardware processors is further configured to:

determine the at least one parameter of the user.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the at least one parameter is determined using a user history of the user comprising at least one of user purchases, user physical activity, user work activity, and a user financial account.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the at least one parameter is determined using weather parameters for the venue and temperature levels at a location of the user within the venue.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein the one or more hardware processors is further configured to:

receive information corresponding to the at least one parameter from at least one of the venue, a user device of the user, and another user attending the venue,

wherein the at least one parameter is determined using the information.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one parameter comprises a present parameter of the user while at the venue.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the purchase option comprises a change in seating or admission for the admission information.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more hardware processors is further configured to:

receive an acceptance of the purchase option; and

process the admission information with the acceptance to include the change of seating.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the purchase option is for an item available at the venue.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the one or more hardware processors is further configured to:

process an acceptance of the purchase option; and

transmit the acceptance to a merchant holding the item at the venue.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the merchant delivers the item to the user.

14. The method of claim 13, where the at least one parameter comprises at least one of a physical parameter of the user, financial information of the user, and a preference of the user.

15. The method of claim 13 further comprising:

determining the at least one parameter of the user using a user history of the user comprising at least one of user purchases, user physical activity, user work activity, and a user financial account.

16. The method of claim 13 further comprising:

receiving information corresponding to the at least one parameter from at least one of the venue, a user device of the user, and another user attending the venue,

wherein the at least one parameter is determined using the information.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the purchase option comprises a change in seating or admission for the admission information.

18. The method of claim 17 further comprising:

receiving an acceptance of the purchase option; and

processing the admission information with the acceptance to include the change of seating.

19. The method of claim 12, wherein the purchase option is for an item available at the venue, and wherein a merchant at the venue delivers the item to the user.

15-1. The method of claim 13 further comprising:

determining the at least one parameter of the user weather parameters for the venue and temperature levels at a location of the user within the venue.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a plurality of machine-readable instructions which when executed by one or more processors of a server are adapted to cause the server to perform a method comprising:

accessing admission information for a user at a venue;

accessing at least one parameter corresponding to the user;

determining a purchase option for the user for the venue based on the admission information and the at least one parameter; and

communicating the purchase option to the user.
