20140143021 | DETERMINING A PRICE - A machine may be configured to generate a user interface that proposes an event to be scheduled in the future and solicits attendee bids, venue offers, sponsorship offers, or any suitable combination thereof. In some situations, the event includes one or more appearances by talent. The machine may be configured to receive the attendee bids from potential purchasers, venue offers from venue providers, sponsorship offers from potential sponsors, or any suitable combination thereof, via the user interface. The machine may identify a portion of the potential purchasers as winning bidders on tickets for the event, based on an attendee capacity supported by a venue, based on a portion of the attendee bids specifying higher prices per attendee than a remainder of the attendee bids, or based on both. The machine may assign a common price per attendee to each of the portion of the potential purchasers. | 05-22-2014 |
