The invention provides, in some aspects, a digital ticketing system, comprising first and second digital data devices (e.g., cell phones, PDAs, etc.) that are coupled, at least intermittently, with a server via a network. The server responds to a request, e.g., from the first digital data device, by electronically issuing to it a ticket (or option therefor) for use by a holder thereof in gaining a seating (or other selected attendance) at an event. The server responds to a subsequent request, e.g., by the second digital data device, by (re)issuing the ticket (and/or option) to it for use by a holder of that second device in gaining the aforesaid seating (or other selected attendance) at the event in lieu of that by the holder of the first digital data device. |
