Abstract
An alterable ticket and a system and method for controlling access to and within a venue using the alterable ticket. As described in one aspect of the disclosure, a ticket holder purchases such a ticket that conveys a right to access the venue. The ticket is altered in order to modify that right. Because the ticket is altered, it cannot be used by the ticket holder to gain access to the venue. A computer system tracks that the ticket has been altered and enables a refund to be provided to the ticket holder. In this way, a second ticket, conveying the same right as the altered ticket, may be sold to a second ticket holder. According to another aspect of the disclosure, a ticket holder purchases a ticket that conveys a right to occupy a first seat in a venue. The ticket is physically altered in order to upgrade the first seat to a second seat.
