Computer-based right distribution system
First Claim
1. A method of distributing a plurality of priority rights, the method comprising:
- receiving over a network at a computing system a plurality of bid records from a plurality of users, the bid records including bid amount data, wherein the bid amount data is associated with a quantity of priority rights being bid on;
correlating, via the computing system, a selected bid record received from a selected user with a subset of priority rights, wherein;
(a) the subset of priority rights is selected from the plurality of priority rights at least partially based on the selected bid record bid amount data, and(b) the subset of priority rights includes a quantity of priority rights that corresponds to the quantity of priority rights being bid on,wherein the computing system is configured to perform such correlation;
anddistributing the subset of priority rights to the selected user.

Abstract
An automated ticket auctioning system receives and evaluates bid information records received from a plurality of remote terminals. Each bid information record corresponds to at least one bid for one or more desired seats at a venue. Each bid information record may also include a plurality of additional bids identified for different seats in the venue. The separate bids in each bid information record are prioritized. The automated ticket auctioning system includes a central controlling computer operable to receive the bid information records and determine, in order of priority, whether any of the bids in a bid information record is accepted. If one bid in a bid information record is accepted, all lower priority bids in that bid information record are dismissed.
