Abstract
The present invention is a method and apparatus that allows for the verification and substantiation of the purchase of access or admission to those facilities, sites, businesses, venues, sporting events, or reserved services that traditionally have controlled access by means of tickets, passes, admission documents, reservations, reservation confirmations, or other substantiation. The invention provides several methods for the buyer to provide an ID at the time of purchase, which is then transmitted electronically to the facility, site, business, venue, sporting event, or reserved service. That buyer ID is then confirmed by the facility, site, business, or venue by means of readers or scanners of the magnetic, smart, or optical ID cards or by other electronic means. This confirmation may automatically result in the printing of the tickets, passes, admission documents, reservation confirmations, or other documents required for admittance or automatic and immediate physical admittance of the buyer or ID holder.
