ABSTRACT:
A theater-ticket concierge system in which individual kiosks are in wireless communication with a central station so that, based upon programming from the central station, the individual events of interest can be selected by a patron who can view an excerpt or scene and, upon indicating interest, can then view available seating on a seating plan or the like. By selecting an available seat from the seating plan, the patron can be provided with a display of the stage or performance from that seat and, once seat selection is confirmed, the kiosk can, by communication with the central station, charge the patron's credit card and issue an information carrier in the form of a ticket to the event or a coupon which can be redeemed for such ticket.
