Abstract
A method and system for distributing electronic ticket status information over a network to a remote subscriber portable computing device for a live event includes providing an electronic ticket manager application to a subscriber for installation on the remote subscriber portable computing device. Ticket data for the live event is received over the Internet with a transmission server which has a microprocessor and a memory that stores a remote subscriber's preferences for ticket information format and destination address. The microprocessor filters the ticket data based on past live events and other subscribers who have attended past live events with the subscriber in a group seating arrangement. The microprocessor generates an alert that activates the portable computing device to display a message that suggests the subscriber may attend the live event and invite other subscribers to sit with the subscriber at the event.
