A method of controlling venue access and a computer controlled turnstile system are disclosed. The turnstile system comprises a turnstile, including a computer interface; and a computer system coupled to the turnstile and to user terminals. The computer system includes program code configured to receive an order from a user for a plurality of admissions to an event; associate the plurality of admissions with a single first ticket; provide a user interface via which the user can re-associate a first quantity of the plurality of admissions with a second ticket; store in memory information related to the re-association; at least partly in response to information obtained from the second ticket at a venue associated with the event, access the information and enable the turnstile to admit a number of persons that corresponds to the first quantity. The order is received from a user terminal; Also disclosed is a networked access control system comprising a network interface configured to receive user communications over a network and to receive ticket data read from tickets via a ticket reader located at an event venue; and program code stored in a computer readable medium, configured to receive a request for a first plurality of admissions for an event from a user; cause, at least in part, a user interface to be presented via which the user can associate a second plurality of admissions, which is a first subset of the first plurality of admissions, with a first ticket, and a second subset of the first plurality of admissions with a second ticket; store a definition of the first subset and the second subset received from the user; receive data from a ticket reader corresponding to the first ticket; use the first ticket data read from the first ticket to determine how many admissions are associated with the first ticket; and at least in part enable a number of people that correspond to the determination as how many admissions are associated with the first ticket to gain admission to the event. |
