ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods provide access to services. A base ticket value is determined based on a price range for a subject service. A ticket manager engine translates the price range into a ticket level. End users/ticket holders present the leveled ticket for redemption of the particular service from a participant's service provider. Tickets are redeemable for a particular service or experience such as concerts, sports events, theatrical shows, broadway shows, family events, golf courses, movie theaters, spas, etc., each at different levels. Tickets are thus redeemed at variable rates for equivalent services. An online distributor or portal in the primary and/or secondary market may employ the ticket manager engine and ticket leveling. As a result, the distributor offers/sells leveled tickets.
