1. A hosting system for distributing one or more access licenses, comprising:
one or more servers in association with one or more processors, wherein the one or more servers are communicatively linked to a communications network; and a computer readable medium with one or more software instructions residing thereon, the software instructions executable by the one or more processors to direct the performance of operations comprising: enabling a first user to purchase one or more of a plurality of access licenses associated with a venue event, each respective access license authorizing access for an individual with respect to the venue event; distributing the one or more access licenses to the first user, and assigning at least a first identification token to the first user; enabling a second user to obtain one or more of the access licenses distributed to the first user; distributing to the second user the one or more access licenses obtained from the first user, and assigning a second identification token to the second user, wherein the second identification token is different from the first identification token and at least a third identification token retained by the first user in association with one or more access licenses that were not distributed to the second user; storing information associated with each of the second and third identification tokens in a data repository, and invalidating the first identification token; receiving identification token information from a verification device associated with an attempted access to the venue event; comparing the received identification token information with information stored in the data repository to determine if received identification token information is associated with an access license for the venue event; generating a validation determination that an identification token corresponding to the received identification token information is either a valid identification token or an invalid identification token; and transmitting the validation determination to one or more of a first user device, a second user device, or the verification device.
