Paperless Tickets

Ticketmaster though has the solid relationship built with the client and works differently as they only work to sell tickets at the pre-determined price set by the client they work for. Stubhub is different in that they are a niche ticket market for consumers seeking tickets to events only. Ebay in fact purchased Stubhub as to acquire market share in this sector. Stubhub also provides consumers the option to buy directly from each other but this is the only specialty service they provide. They are the industry leader in the type of ticket sales. Stubhub has been very innovative in providing some specialized services such as VIP packages. They also split the commission cost with the buyer and seller. So although the price of the ticket is the same, the seller retains more of the revenue from the sale of the ticket. This obviously entices sellers to use Stubhub. They also have partnered with Fedex to be able to guarantee delivery of the tickets to the buyer. This eliminates some of the potential problems of buying and selling tickets through such a service as Stubhub. Tickets are guaranteed for both the buyer and seller from Stubhub.

* Impacts of technology e.g. on traditional operational practices for selling travel services, issuing e-tickets, offering dynamic packaging

Southwest employs a relatively simple fare structure, featuring low, unrestricted, unlimited, everyday coach fares as well as even lower fares available on a restricted basis (Bailey, et. al., 2009). In January 1995, Southwest Airlines became the first major airline to introduce a Ticketless Travel option, eliminating the need to print and process a paper ticket altogether (About, 2012). This innovation was born out of necessity after it was tossed out of three other computer reservation systems (United, Continental and Delta’s, as these airlines felt threatened by Southwest’s competitiveness). This innovation allows customers to completely bypass the computer reservation systems of major airlines by

This is important because it just adds on to the price people already have to pay for the sport and tournaments but they also have to pay for equipment. All this goes to show that playing travel sports can be very expensive, which is why they should be banned.

Airlines are now able to expand their outreach directly to consumers through e-commerce. For example, airlines like Qantas are able to introduce ticketless travel through the use of technology (Thompson and Gamble, 2012).

The other popular belief that I have read is that it helps curb costs so that owners don’t have to spend as much out of their own pockets. Which would make sense however the sports franchises in themselves are investments that cost hundreds of millions to even multiple billions of dollars. So the idea they would need to pinch pennies once the initial investment is made doesn’t add up or sit well with the fans who find their rooting interests at the bottom end of the financial

Events that are in high demand would be subject to higher fees than those with lower demand. This would be beneficial to StubHub cause the lower fees could help stimulate the user into purchasing the event tickets purely because psychologically they feel as if they 're receiving a good bargain. In addition, StubHub could look to its parent company, eBay, for a unique pricing model to attract customer. If StubHub were to introduce an auction style selling system, they could help boost the sales of tickets by having users bid for thickets causing the price to increase accordingly. This unique action style selling of tickets would give them a large competitive advantage over any other online ticketing site, that doesn 't have a feature similar to this. The implementation of these new pricing models would be an ERP improvement step. By controlling and presenting the service fees and prices of tickets, they are able to control their supply cain of ticket and have lower demanded tickets selling even if its for a lower fee. Overall, StubHub would see higher ticket sales and customer satisfaction because users would be inclined to purchase more if they 're paying less and feel happier when evaluating the purchase post-sale.

The Better Online Ticket Sale Act will prohibit the usage of computer softwares to purchase large amounts of tickets and reselling them at a higher price, claiming the ticket scalping is unfair. If I was a member of congress, I would have supported this act because using softwares to buy and resell tickets drives up the price for the buyers, who had less chance of purchasing it competing with the software at the original price. Aristotle would have also been supportive of this act, who believe retail trade and money making are unnatural ways of attaining wealth. Moreover, John Ruskin would make similar decision, due to his concern with the way we obtain wealth, and inequality in the economy. However, Andrew Carnegie would have thought

The Online Event Ticket Sales industry has grown rapidly amid a large shift from physical ticket sale to a fully digitized online ticketing experience. Over the past half-decade, the disposable incomes of consumers have grown alongside the music industry 's continued shift toward live performances and shows. The ease of online shopping, particularly through mobile wallets, online banking, cryptocurrency and digital ticketing, has

This is inefficient as the forms are sorted, scanned and manually placed in the paper file. This is not only inefficient, it is time consuming. Additionally, due to limitations of the software, all electronically received forms are printed, scanned into the electronic file and placed into the paper copy file. Again, causing redundancy and creating additional work.

Also, EVMs could be hacked unlike paper ballots. Malicious software was discovered transfering votes from one candidate to the other in 2007. Security risk have been found in voting machines made my every major manufacturer, paper doesn't have a security risk. In virginia 2014, EVMs were shut down after voters reported machines recording the wrong votes. These are a few reasons why paper ballots are better than EVMs.

Ticket sales for movie theaters are at their lowest point since 1996. With the core demographic group expected to grow slower than the US population and with technological advances growing at speeds faster than the industry can keep up, ticket sales will continue to decline if the current business strategy continues to be followed.

Sports Betting Should be Legal claims that if you become addicted to gambling, you can over gamble and gamble with money you don’t have. Although this is true, there is an easy way to stop this from happening. A person could limit their budget while at the sports stadium. They could have twenty dollars set aside for food and spend that. A person could bring maybe thirty dollars for souvenirs. Instead of spending their money on that, they want to make a profit. Betting only a little bit of money would not affect you if you lost as much as it would if you brought a lot of money. Gambling would not be a problem as long as person uses common sense and limits how much they

In fact, Spirit Airlines distribute tickets through both Direct and Indirect channels to exploit the profits (Tnooz, 2011). With direct distribution, the airline directly distributes tickets conventionally to the customers, using the internet as its primary disbursement channel. Whereas the indirect channel involves selling through channel intermediaries like wholesalers and retailers.

Under UK law, ticket touting is currently legal. However, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (CRA) conditions that if a ticket is being resold, the seller must ‘ensure that the person who buys the ticket is given the information specified in subsection (3);’ the seat number, restrictions and the face value. In despite of this law, key information is still being missed in selling instances, which shows a clear breach of the law. This can therefore conclude that even with this law in place, it is still in need of revision to tackle down this issue to protect fans. However, the touting of football tickets is illegal under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 where it is an offence for an ‘an unauthorised person to sell a ticket
