Abstract
A venue is associated with various parking lots, with different parking lots associated with different prices. A venue management system associated with the venue maintains information identifying a number of spaces in different parking lots that have previously been purchased. Additionally, the venue management system receives information identifying a number of currently occupied spaces in different parking lots. From the number of previously purchased spaces and the number of currently occupied spaces in different parking lots, the venue management system determines numbers of available spaces in various parking lots. Based on the numbers of available spaces, the venue management system may communicate notifications to users via client devices identifying parking lots with available spaces. The notification messages may be communicated to a user based in part on a location associated with the user so the user receives a notification message before the user reaches certain parking lots.
