Abstract
A computer implemented method and system includes receiving a request to participate in an electronic seating optimization algorithm and retrieving data about an existing electronic ticket, the data including a location of a seat within a venue. A first list of one or more requests to participate in the electronic seating optimization algorithm may be generated where the first list is ranked in accordance with at least a location of each seat associated with an electronic ticket. Subsequently, a seating optimization algorithm is executed to identify optimal and available seats corresponding to one or more seats from each request to participate. A second list of the one or more requests to participate is generated where the second list is ranked in accordance with the results of the electronic seating optimization algorithm. The location of a seat is then transmitted over a communications network in response to at least one request.
