Flashseats.com (the "website") is an electronic marketplace that allows persons holding rights to enter events (e.g. professional sports games, concerts, etc.), to park during events and/or to access concessions during events (individually or collectively, "Rights"), and to sell or transfer such Rights to other persons. Holders of Right(s), whether they are the original holder, a transferee or a purchaser, may redeem such Right(s) at the venue of the event for which they hold Rights. To redeem the Right(s), the holder will scan a credit card, state issued identification card, and/or mobile device that they have previously registered on our website when they enter the venue. The holder will then be able to enter the event, park and/or purchase a preset dollar value of concessions, depending upon the type of Right that they are redeeming. Our technology that enables this process is patented under U.S. Patent No. 6,496,809 and/or other pending patents.
