On the other hand, the above services are limited to those that can be enjoyed only by the ticket purchaser, and do not provide benefits to friends and acquaintances of the ticket purchaser, for example. If there are merits other than the ticket purchaser, it is expected that the appeal of the performance will be transmitted directly through the purchaser, which will eventually spread the sum of the communication related to the performance and contribute to the improvement of ticket sales. it can.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a service that not only has a merit for a ticket purchaser but also can provide merit to a person around it through the ticket purchaser.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration. In addition, in order to make an understanding of this invention easy, the reference sign of an accompanying drawing is attached in parenthesis writing, However, This invention is not limited to the aspect of illustration.

  The information processing apparatus (2) according to the present invention includes a first determination unit (4, 18) for determining whether or not a right to use the first area where the event is performed is given to any user; Second determination means for determining whether or not a right to use the second area related to the first area is given to any user (4, 18); It is determined that the right to use one area is granted to any user, and it is determined by the second determination means that the right to use the second area is not granted to any user. A granting means (4, 26) for granting a right to use the second area to a user who is granted the right to use the first area at no charge or a price lower than a predetermined price; ,including.

  In addition, the right granting method according to the present invention includes a first determination step for determining whether or not a right to use the first area in which an event is performed has been granted to any user, and related to the first area. A second determination step for determining whether or not the right to use the second area is granted to any user, and the right to use the first area in the first determination step to any user If it is determined that the right to use the second area is not granted to any user in the second determination step, the right to use the second area is determined. And a granting step of granting the user who is granted the right to use the first area free of charge or at a price lower than a predetermined price.

  In addition, the program according to the present invention includes a first determination unit that determines whether or not a right to use the first area where the event is performed is given to any user, and a second related to the first area. The right to use the first area is given to any user by the second judging means for judging whether or not the right to use the area is given to any user, the first judging means. The right to use the second area is determined when the second determining means determines that no right to use the second area is given to any user. This is a program for causing a computer to function as granting means for granting a user who is granted the right to use one area free of charge or at a price lower than a predetermined price.

  A computer-readable information storage medium according to the present invention is a computer-readable information storage medium in which the program is stored.

  According to the present invention, the number of visitors can be increased by granting a right to use another place that has not been granted to anyone to a person who already holds the right to use a place in the event venue. Is possible.

  That is, for example, a vacant seat ticket is given to a user who has already purchased a stadium watching ticket. As a result, users who have already purchased tickets will be satisfied because they will receive vacant tickets, and they will be able to give their tickets to their friends and acquaintances and give them cheaply. You can deepen friendship.

  On the other hand, friends who get tickets or give away cheaply feel joy and thank the users, and communication between them deepens. In addition, friends will know the existence of such a service directly through the user, so friends will be motivated to purchase tickets for the service in the future, improving ticket sales. Can contribute.

  Here, the place of the vacant ticket is the second area related to the first area, for example, next to the user who is the ticket purchaser, before and after or close to the ticket purchaser and his friend, etc. It is a place where you can enjoy. That is, when a ticket at such a place is vacant, the ticket is given to the user.

  In one aspect of the present invention, the granting unit determines that the right to use the first area is granted to any user by the first determining unit, and the second determining unit When it is determined that no right to use the second area is granted to any user, and a user who is granted the right to use the first area satisfies a predetermined user condition, the first The right to use two areas may be granted to a user who has been granted the right to use the first area for free or at a price lower than a predetermined price.

  According to this aspect, for example, when a person who already holds the right to use a certain place in the event venue is a user having a predetermined attribute, the right to use another place can be granted. That is, as will be described later, for example, when a user who has already purchased a ticket for watching a stadium has purchased a ticket in the past, a vacant seat ticket is given. The past ticket purchase history may be one time, but may be limited to, for example, a case where three or more tickets have been purchased within the past year. This condition can be set arbitrarily.

  Moreover, even if it is not the same event, as long as the performers are the same as will be described later, it may be given when tickets for other events are purchased. For example, if there is a past history of purchasing a concert ticket held by the same performer, a vacant seat ticket may be given after purchasing a stadium ticket.

  In the aspect of the invention, the second area may be related not only to the first area but also to the third area. The third area is used by the third determination means (4, 18) for determining whether or not the right to use the third area is given to any user and the first determination means. When it is determined that the right to use is granted to any user and the right to use the third area is determined to be given to any user by the third determination unit, The evaluation information indicating the evaluation of the first user who is a user who is granted the right to use the first area, and the evaluation of the second user who is a user who is granted the right to use the third area Comparing means (4, 24) for comparing the evaluation information is further provided, and the granting means grants any user the right to use the first area by the first determining means. And when the right to use the second area is determined not to be granted to any user by the second determination means, the right to use the second area is given free of charge, or It is determined that a right to use the third area is given to any user by a first granting unit that grants the first user at a price lower than a predetermined price and the third determination unit. In addition, when it is determined by the second determination means that no right to use the second area is granted to any user, the right to use the second area is given free of charge or from a predetermined price. It is determined that a right to use the first area is given to any user by a second granting unit that grants the second user at a low price, and the first determination unit. In addition, it is determined by the third determining means that the right to use the third area is given to any user, and the right to use the second area is determined by the second determining means. A restricting unit that restricts the right to use the second area by either one of the first granting unit and the second granting unit when it is determined that the user is not granted to the user. 4, 28), and when the comparison result of the comparison means satisfies a predetermined condition, the restriction means restricts the right to use the second area by the first grant means, and the comparison If the result does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the grant of the right to use the second area by the second grant unit may be restricted.

  According to this aspect, when there are two persons who are qualified to be granted the right to use a certain place in the event venue, for example, in preference to the other person who has a higher evaluation than one, The right to use the location can be granted. As an example, there is a case where a vacant seat is sandwiched between seats of two users who have purchased tickets. Here, if both of them have a history of ticket purchases in the past, both satisfy the conditions for granting a vacant ticket. However, since one vacant seat is sandwiched, Must be selected. Therefore, as will be described later, for example, the past ticket purchase histories of two people are compared, and the ticket with the larger number of ticket purchases is set as the vacant seat grant target.

  In the aspect of the invention, the first grant unit may determine that the right to use the first area is given to any user by the first determination unit, and the second grant unit. The determination means determines that no right to use the second area is granted to any user, and the first user who is granted the right to use the first area is a predetermined user. If the condition is satisfied, the right to use the second area is granted to the first user free of charge or at a price lower than a predetermined price, and the second granting means is provided by the third determining means, It is determined that the right to use the third area is granted to any user, and the right to use the second area is granted to any user by the second determination means. A right to use the second area when the second user, who is determined to be not and the right to use the third area, satisfies the user condition, or And granting to the second user at a price lower than a predetermined price, the limiting means is determined by the first determination means that the right to use the first area is granted to any user, In addition, it is determined by the third determination means that the right to use the third area is given to any user, and the right to use the second area is determined by the second determination means. If both the first user and the second user satisfy the user condition, the first granting unit and the second granting unit According to the deviation or one may limit the application of the right to use the second area.

  According to this aspect, for example, when there are two persons who are qualified to be granted the right to use a certain place in the event venue, for example, priority is given to the other person who has a higher evaluation than one person. The right to use the location can be granted. As an example, there is a case where a vacant seat is sandwiched between seats of two users who have purchased tickets. Here, if both of them have a history of ticket purchases in the past, both satisfy the conditions for granting a vacant ticket. However, since one vacant seat is sandwiched, Must be selected. Therefore, as will be described later, for example, the past ticket purchase histories of two people are compared, and the ticket with the larger number of ticket purchases is set as the vacant seat grant target.

  A first evaluation unit configured to acquire the evaluation information indicating the evaluation of the first user based on information indicating a past participation history in a related event related to the event of the first user; The evaluation information indicating the user's evaluation may further include second evaluation means for acquiring the evaluation information based on the information indicating the past participation history of the second user in the related event.

  According to this aspect, when there are two persons who are qualified to be granted the right to use a certain place in the event venue, for example, to the other person who participates in the event more frequently than one, The right to use the location can be given preferentially. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the user to participate in the event continuously.

  Further, in one aspect of the present invention, a determination unit that determines whether or not a user satisfies the user condition based on information indicating a past participation history in a related event related to the user's event, May further be included.

  According to this aspect, even if the ticket purchased by the user in the past is not the same event (for example, professional baseball at A Stadium), if the event organizer is the same, the ticket for another event is purchased You may make it give a vacant seat ticket to. For example, if there is a past history of purchasing a ticket for a concert held by the same performer, a vacant seat ticket may be given to purchase a ticket for watching a professional baseball stadium.

  The information processing apparatus (2) according to the present invention includes a first determination unit (4, 18) for determining whether or not the right to use the first area is granted to the first user; By the second determination means (4, 18) for determining whether or not the right to use the second area related to one area is granted to users including the first user, and the first determination means, It is determined that the right to use the first area is granted to the first user, and that the right to use the second area is not granted to any user by the second determination means. And granting means for granting the right to use the second area to the first user when the first user satisfies a predetermined condition, or for a price set based on the predetermined condition. (4, 26) Including.

  According to the present invention, for example, a person who already holds the right to use a certain place in the event venue is given a right to use another place that is not granted to anyone, thereby increasing the number of visitors. It becomes possible.

  That is, for example, a vacant seat ticket is given to a user who has purchased a ticket for watching a stadium (first user). As a result, users who have already purchased tickets will be satisfied because they will receive vacant tickets, and they will be able to give their tickets to their friends and acquaintances and give them cheaply. You can deepen friendship.

  On the other hand, friends who get tickets or give away cheaply feel joy and thank the users, and communication between them deepens. In addition, friends will know the existence of such a service directly through the user, so friends will be motivated to purchase tickets for the service in the future, improving ticket sales. Can contribute.

  Here, the place of the vacant ticket is the second area related to the first area, for example, next to the user who is the ticket purchaser, before and after or close to the ticket purchaser and his friend, etc. It is a place where you can enjoy. That is, when a ticket at such a place is vacant, the ticket is given to the user.

  In the aspect of the invention, the predetermined condition may be a condition related to a past participation history of the first user to a related event related to an event of the first area.

  According to this aspect, for example, when a person who already holds the right to use a certain place in the event venue is a user who has a relatively large number of participation in the event, the right to use another place is given. Can be granted. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the user to participate in the event continuously.

  Hereinafter, examples of embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[Watching ticket sales server]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a watching ticket sales server 2 as an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The watching ticket sales server 2 is a server computer owned by the owner company of the professional baseball team “W” (hereinafter referred to as “W team”) or the stadium or stadium where the watching game is held. A hard disk 8 and a network interface 10.

  The control unit 4 is a microprocessor and executes various types of information processing according to programs stored in the main memory 6. The main memory 6 is a RAM and a ROM, and the main memory 6 stores data necessary for various information processing in addition to the above programs. The program is read from an information storage medium such as a DVD (registered trademark) -ROM and stored in the main memory 6. The program may be downloaded from the network and stored in the main memory 6. The hard disk 8 stores various data. The network interface 10 is an interface for connecting the watching ticket sales server 2 to a network. The watching ticket sales server 2 can exchange data with the client terminals 5 and the plurality of ticket vending machines 7 of the plurality of users who are fan club members of the W team via the network.

  Team W belongs to a professional baseball league to which six professional baseball teams belong, and performs a league game with the other five professional baseball teams on a predetermined schedule. In the case of the present embodiment, the watching ticket sales server 2 is used to sell watching tickets for the matches of the team W performed at the home stadium of the team W. Specifically, after the user accesses the watching ticket sales server 2 with his / her client terminal 5, he / she designates a game and a watching place where he / she wants to watch the game, and performs an order confirmation operation.

  Supplement the explanation about the specification of the watching place. In the case of this embodiment, the W team's home stadium stand is partitioned into a plurality of blocks. FIG. 2 shows one block. As shown in the figure, a plurality of seat units (areas) represented by squares are set in the block. Specifically, the block includes N (N ≧ 2) seat unit columns L each including M (M ≧ 2) seat units. One seat unit corresponds to one seat, and the user designates a seat unit as a watching place. Although not shown, the baseball field is located above the block in FIG.

  When the order confirmation operation described above is performed, the watching ticket sales server 2 notifies the user of a unique order code by e-mail. The user receives the watching ticket issued from the ticket vending machine 7 by inputting the order code into the ticket vending machine 7 installed in a retail store such as a convenience store and paying an amount corresponding to the regular price of the watching ticket. Here, the watching ticket is a right certificate certifying the right to watch the game in units of seats (hereinafter referred to as the watching right), and purchasing the watching ticket means purchasing the watching right. It can be said that the watching ticket is a right certificate certifying the right to use the seat unit in the game.

  Hereinafter, an arbitrary seat unit row L may be referred to as a seat row L [i]. The seat row L [i] indicates the “i” -th seat row from the top in FIG. “I” is an integer from “1” to “N”. Further, an arbitrary seat unit may be described as a seat unit S [i, k]. The seat unit S [i, k] indicates the “k” th seat unit from the left in the seat row L [i]. “K” is an integer from “1” to “M”. A watching ticket that proves the right to watch a game in the seat unit S [i, k] may be referred to as “a watching ticket in the seat unit S [i, k]”. Further, a user who has been given a watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, k], in other words, a user who has purchased the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, k] is referred to as a user [i, k]. There is a case. A seat unit related to a watching ticket that has not been purchased by anyone is referred to as “unsold seat unit”. In addition, a seat unit related to a watching ticket purchased by someone is referred to as “unsold seat unit”.

  By the way, when the number of visitors is small, various harmful effects occur. For example, the morale of the players will be reduced. In addition, the W team's performance deteriorates due to a decrease in the morale of the players. Moreover, the W team's results deteriorate, and the number of visitors further decreases, resulting in a decrease in ticket sales revenue.

In this regard, the watching ticket sales server 2 is devised to increase the number of visitors. That is, in this watching ticket sales server 2, when a game approaches, the unsold watching ticket for each seat holds the watching ticket for the game, that is, the watching ticket for the game. It is presented to users free of charge. This is because the user can expect to come with friends and the number of visitors is expected to increase. Specifically, in this spectator ticket sales server 2, when a game approaches, an e-mail (hereinafter referred to as the following) offers to the user holding the spectator ticket of the game that the unsold spectator ticket is presented. (Referred to as a specific email). In addition, the user who has received the offer mail can obtain a watching ticket for the unsold seat unit by following the procedure described in the offer mail. For example, the following text is the text of the statement email.
“User A

Thank you for purchasing a ticket for a match with Team X that will be held three days later.
Thank you for your visit.

Are there any W team fans among User A's friends?
We wanted to have user A's friend watch the game, so we arranged a seating ticket for each seat next to user A's.

By entering the unique ID “XXX” in the nearest ticket vending machine, you can receive watching tickets.
Please enjoy the game with your friends. "

  A user who receives a watching ticket for the unsold seat unit invites a friend to visit.

  This is not the only feature. That is, a friend does not necessarily respond to the user's invitation just because the user has presented the unsold seat-based watching ticket to the user. For example, even when watching a game far away from the user, in many cases, friends cannot share the excitement of the game with the user. Therefore, a friend may refuse the user's invitation.

  Therefore, in this spectator ticket sales server 2, the unsold spectator ticket holds the spectator ticket of the seat unit adjacent to the seat unit so that the friend who receives the user's invitation surely comes to visit. It will be presented to existing users. That is, in this spectator ticket sales server 2, the above-mentioned specific email for offering the spectator ticket for the unsold seat unit is not transmitted to an arbitrary user, but the spectator unit for the seat unit adjacent to the seat unit is sent. It is sent to the user holding the ticket. For this reason, there is a high possibility that a friend invited by the user will come to the home stadium, and as a result, the number of visitors is surely increased.

  Hereinafter, a technique for presenting to a user a watching ticket for each unsold seat so that the number of visitors can be surely increased will be described.

[Function block]
FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing a function group realized by the watching ticket sales server 2. As shown in the figure, in the watching ticket sales server 2, the game schedule table storage unit 12, the free space storage unit 14, the watching history storage unit 16, the determination unit 18, the evaluation unit 20, and the user determination unit 22. And the comparison part 24, the provision part 26, and the restriction | limiting part 28 are implement | achieved. The game schedule table storage unit 12, the free space storage unit 14, and the watching history storage unit 16 are realized by the hard disk 8. Further, the determination unit 18, the evaluation unit 20, the user determination unit 22, the comparison unit 24, the grant unit 26, and the restriction unit 28 operate according to the program stored in the main memory 6 by the control unit 4. Is realized.

  The determination unit 18 corresponds to a “first determination unit”, a “second determination unit”, and a “third determination unit”. The evaluation unit 20 corresponds to “first evaluation means” and “second evaluation means”. The user determination unit 22 corresponds to “determination means”. The comparison unit 24 corresponds to “comparison means”. The granting unit 26 corresponds to a “first granting unit” and a “second granting unit”.

[Game schedule table storage]
The game schedule table storage unit 12 stores a game schedule table representing a game schedule of a game played by the W team at the home stadium. FIG. 4 shows a game schedule. In the game schedule, each game is represented by its implementation date, and for each game, the W team opponents in that game and the game results of that game are held. The game result is data indicating the final result of the game. The left side of the hyphen symbol indicates the score of the W team, and the right side of the hyphen symbol indicates the score of the opponent. The game result of an unimplemented game is a “null” value.

[Availability storage section]
The vacancy status storage unit 14 stores, for each game held in the game schedule, vacancy status data indicating the vacancy status of each seat unit in the game. FIG. 5 shows a part of availability data of a certain game. In the figure, the free space data for one block is shown. As shown in the figure, the availability data is table data in which the ID of each seat unit is associated with the availability of the seat unit. The vacant status of each seat unit stores the ID of the user assigned to that seat unit, in other words, the user holding the watching ticket for that seat unit. In addition, information “vacant” indicating that is stored in the vacant state of the seat unit to which no one is assigned, that is, the unsold seat unit.

[Watching game history storage]
The watching history storage unit 16 stores the watching history of the user for each user. In the watching history, a history (participation history) of matches of the W team that the user has watched in the past is recorded. FIG. 6 shows a watching history of a certain user. As shown in the figure, in the watching history, information indicating the game in which the watching ticket is purchased by the user (that is, the date of the game) is held. Among the games recorded in the watching history, there are games that have been played and games that have not been played. The completed game recorded in the watching history indicates the history of the game of the W team that the user watched in the past.

[Determining part]
The determination unit 18 determines, for each seat unit, whether or not the watching ticket for that seat unit of the unexecuted game X is held by any user based on the game schedule and availability data. In the case of the present embodiment, the game X is a game played three days later at the home stadium. The game X corresponds to an “event”. The processing executed by the determination unit 18 will be described later (see S101 in FIG. 7 described later).

[Evaluation Department]
Evaluation part 20 is evaluation which shows evaluation of a user holding a watching ticket of the seat unit of game X for every seat unit concerning a watching ticket of game X judged to be held by any user Information is acquired based on the watching history of the user. In the case of this embodiment, the evaluation unit 20 acquires the number of past games recorded in the user's watching history (hereinafter referred to as the number of visits C) as evaluation information indicating the user's evaluation. Past matches correspond to “related events”. Note that the evaluation unit 20 may acquire the number of all games recorded in the user's watching history as evaluation information. Moreover, the evaluation part 20 may acquire the number of the games played within the past predetermined period (for example, within the past one year) among the past games recorded in the user's watching history as the evaluation information. . The process executed by the evaluation unit 20 will be described later (see S102 in FIG. 7 described later).

[Processing-1]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating processing executed by the control unit 4 in order to realize the determination unit 18 and the evaluation unit 20. In the present embodiment, this process is performed once a day.

  In the process illustrated in FIG. 7, steps S101 to S103 are performed for each seat unit S [i, k] in the block. That is, first, the control unit 4 determines whether or not the seat unit S [i, k] is unsold at the present time with reference to the availability data (see FIG. 5) of the game X to be played three days later (see FIG. 5). S101). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the vacancy status of the seat unit S [i, k] is “vacant”.

  When the seat unit S [i, k] remains unsold (YES in S101), the control unit 4 executes the steps after S101 for the next seat unit. On the other hand, if the seat unit S [i, k] is not sold, that is, if a watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, k] is held by any user (NO in S101), the control unit 4 Referring to the watching history (see FIG. 6) of the user [i, k] holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, k], the above-mentioned number of visits C is acquired (S102).

  The control unit 4 generates unit data including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k], the ID of the user [i, k], and the number of visits C, and stores the generated unit data in the main memory 6. (S103). FIG. 8 shows unit data.

[User determination unit]
For each seat unit related to a game X watching ticket that is determined to be held by any user, the user determination unit 22 is good at the user holding the watching ticket for that seat unit of the game X. Whether or not the user is a customer who satisfies the conditions is determined based on evaluation information indicating the evaluation of the user. Although there are various definitions of customer users, here, the customer user is defined as “a user who has purchased a watching ticket three times or more in the past” (see S203 in FIG. 10A and S210C in FIG. 10B). . Incidentally, the customer user may be defined as “a user who has purchased a watching ticket even once”.

  Processing executed by the user determination unit 22 will be described later (see S203 in FIG. 10A and S210C in FIG. 10B).

[Granting part]
If it is determined that any user holds the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, k] of the game X, the granting unit 26 holds the watching ticket for the user [i, k]. If it is determined that the user is a customer, the user [i, k] is given a watching ticket for each unsold seat of the game X.

  That is, when the first condition shown below is satisfied, the granting unit 26 gives the seat to the customer user [i, k] holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, k] of the game X. A watching ticket for a seat unit S [i, k−1] on the left side of the unit S [i, k] is given. The first condition is shown below.

[First condition]
(1) The seat unit S [i, k-1] on the left side of the seat unit S [i, k] is unsold.

  FIG. 9A is a diagram illustrating a first example of a state of a certain seat unit row L [i]. A blank seat unit indicates that the seat unit is unsold. A hatched seat unit indicates that the seat unit is not sold. That is, the hatched seat unit indicates that any user holds the watching ticket for the seat unit. In FIG. 9A, seat units S [i, 1], S [i, 2], S [i, 4], and S [i, 6] remain unsold.

  Focusing on the unsold seat unit S [i, 3] (corresponding to the first area), the seat unit S [i, 2] (corresponding to the second area) adjacent to the left of the seat unit S [i, 3] Unsold. Therefore, when the user [i, 3] (corresponding to the first user) holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 3] is a good customer, the grant unit 26 (first grant means) , The watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 2] is given to the customer user [i, 3] (FIGS. 205A to S207A in FIG. 10A, S211Cb and S212C in FIG. 10B, FIG. (See S403 in FIG. 13). Focusing on the unsold seat unit S [i, 7] (corresponding to the first area), the seat unit S [i, 6] (corresponding to the second area) adjacent to the left of the seat unit S [i, 7]. ) Is unsold. Accordingly, when the user [i, 7] (corresponding to the first user) holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 7] is a good customer, the granting unit 26 (first granting means) Then, a watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 6] is given to the customer user [i, 7] (FIGS. 205A to S207A in FIG. 10A, S211Cb and S212C in FIG. 10B, FIG. 11, and FIG. 13 S403).

  In addition, if the first condition is not satisfied, the granting unit 26 holds the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, k] when the second condition below is satisfied. The user [i, k] is given a watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, k + 1] on the right side instead of on the left side of the seat unit S [i, k]. The second condition is shown below.

[Second condition]
(2) The seat unit S [i, k-1] on the left side of the seat unit S [i, k] is not sold and the seat unit S [i on the right side of the seat unit S [i, k]. , K + 1] remain unsold. However, the meaning that “the seat unit S [i, k−1] has not been sold” includes that “S [i, k−1] does not exist in the first place”.

  FIG. 9B is a diagram illustrating a second example of the state of the seat unit row L [i]. In FIG. 9B, the seat units S [i, 2], S [i, 3], S [i, 6], and S [i, 7] remain unsold.

  Focusing on the unsold seat unit S [i, 1] (corresponding to the third area), the seat unit S [i, 1] has no seat unit on the left and the seat unit S [i, 1 ], The seat unit S [i, 2] (second area) on the right is unsold. Therefore, when the user [i, 1] (corresponding to the second user) holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 1] is a good customer, the grant unit 26 (second grant means) Then, the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 2] is given to the customer user [i, 1] (see S403 in FIGS. 10B, 11 and 13). Focusing on the unsold seat unit S [i, 5] (corresponding to the third area), the seat unit S [i, 4] on the left side of the seat unit S [i, 5] is not sold, In addition, the seat unit S [i, 6] (second area) on the right side of the seat unit S [i, 5] remains unsold. Therefore, when the user [i, 5] (corresponding to the second user) holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 5] is a good customer, the granting unit 26 (second granting unit) Then, the watching ticket of the seat unit S [i, 6] is given to the customer user [i, 5] (see S403 in FIGS. 10B, 11 and 13).

[Comparison part, restriction part]
FIG. 9C is a diagram illustrating a third example of the state of the seat unit row L [i]. In FIG. 9C, the user [i, 1] holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 1] and the user [i, 3] holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 3]. ], The user [i, 5] holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 5] and the user [i, 7] holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 7] It is assumed that all the users are determined to be customer users.

  In the case shown in FIG. 9C, the seat unit S [i, 2] (second area) on the left side of the seat unit S [i, 3] (first area) remains unsold. Is to be given to the customer user [i, 3] (first user). In the case shown in FIG. 9C, there is no seat unit adjacent to the left of the seat unit S [i, 1] (third area), and the seat unit S [ Since i, 2] (second area) remains unsold, the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 2] should be given to the customer user [i, 1] (second user). Become. That is, one seat unit watching ticket is to be given to two users, and it is necessary to select a user to which a watching ticket is to be given.

  Therefore, in the case shown in FIG. 9C, the comparison unit 24 evaluates the customer user [i, 1] (second user) who holds the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 1] (third area). And the evaluation information indicating the evaluation of the customer user [i, 3] (first user) holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 3] (first area) Are compared (see S211Ca in FIG. 10B). Further, the restricting unit 28 determines whether the loyalty user [i, 1] and the loyal customer user [i, 3] are watching tickets for the seat unit S [i, 2] (second area). The assignment to any one of them is restricted based on the comparison result by the comparison unit 24 (see S211Cb and S212C in FIG. 10B, S403 in FIG. 11 and FIG. 13). Here, as shown in FIG. 9D, the restricting unit 28 has a seat unit S [i, 2] watching ticket for the other customer user whose number of visits C as evaluation information is smaller than one customer user. Restrict granting of That is, when the number of visits C of the customer user [i, 3] is equal to or greater than the number of visits C of the customer user [i, 1], the restricting unit 28 is a watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 2]. If the number of visits C of the customer user [i, 3] is less than the number of visits C of the customer user [i, 1] Restrict the granting of the unit S [i, 2] watching ticket to the user [i, 3]. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9D, the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 2] is given only to the customer user [i, 3] whose visit count C is larger than the customer user [i, 1]. The In other words, the restriction unit 28 targets a user who has a larger number of purchases of a watching ticket out of two users who are eligible to receive a watching ticket for each unsold seat as a target for the watching ticket. is there.

  In the case shown in FIG. 9C, since the seat unit S [i, 6] (second area) on the left side of the seat unit S [i, 7] (first area) remains unsold, the seat unit S [i, 6] should be given to the customer user [i, 7] (first user). Also, the seat unit S [i, 4] on the left side of the seat unit S [i, 5] (third area) is not sold, and the seat unit S on the right side of the seat unit S [i, 5]. Since [i, 6] (second area) remains unsold, the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 6] should be given to the customer user [i, 5] (second user). Also become. Therefore, in the case shown in FIG. 9C, the comparison unit 24 gives the evaluation information indicating the evaluation of the customer user [i, 5] (second user) and the customer user [i, 7] (first user). Comparison with the above-described evaluation information indicating the evaluation of is also performed. Further, the restriction unit 28 restricts the seat ticket S [i, 6] to be given to the other customer user whose visit number C is smaller than one customer user. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9D, the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, 6] is given only to the customer user [i, 5] whose visit count C is larger than the customer user [i, 7]. It will be done.

  In this way, in the watching ticket sales server 2, the unsold seat unit watching ticket is given to the user holding the watching unit seat ticket adjacent to the seat unit. Therefore, the possibility that the friend refuses the invitation of the user who is given the watching ticket for the unsold seat unit is reduced, and as a result, the number of visitors is surely increased.

  In addition, the user can be satisfied that a game ticket for unsold seats has been given. In addition, the user can communicate with a friend by relying on the given watching ticket, such as giving the given watching ticket to a friend or giving it cheaply.

  On the other hand, a friend who has handed over an unsold watching ticket from the user will thank the user and can deepen communication with the user. Further, since the friend knows through the user the service provided by the watching ticket sales server 2, that is, the service that grants the unsold watching game ticket, the friend can receive the service. They will also purchase tickets for watching games. Therefore, it is possible to expect an increase in sales of watching tickets.

  That is, the watching ticket sales server 2 realizes a service that not only has a merit for the user who has purchased the watching ticket but also has a merit for the people around the user who has purchased the watching ticket.

  In addition, since the unsold watching ticket is given only to the customer user, the motivation for visiting the game of the W team game, in other words, the motivation for becoming the customer user, is given to the user. Can be done. As a result, it is possible to make it possible for the user to visit the game continuously.

  In addition, in this spectator ticket sales server 2, when there are two users who are eligible to receive spectator tickets for unsold seat units, the spectator ticket is given priority over the other user who has a higher evaluation than one user. Is granted. In this respect, the user can be motivated to visit the watching game of the W team.

[Processing-2]
10A and 10B are flowcharts showing processing executed by the control unit 4 in order to realize the user determination unit 22, the comparison unit 24, the provision unit 26, and the restriction unit 28. In the case of the present embodiment, this process is executed following the process shown in FIG. In the process shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, each of the seat unit rows L [i] in the block is selected in order. Every time the seat unit row L [i] is selected, the steps after S201 are executed.

  That is, the control unit 4 selects the leftmost seat unit S [i, k (k = 1)] of the selected seat unit row L [i] (S201). Then, the control unit 4 determines whether or not the seat unit S [i, k] remains unsold (S202). Specifically, in S202, the control unit 4 determines whether or not unit data (see FIG. 8) including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k] is stored in the main memory 6. When unit data including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k] is not stored in the main memory 6, it is determined that the seat unit S [i, k] is not sold.

  When the seat unit S [i, k] is not sold (NO in S202), the control unit 4 determines that the user [i, k] holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, k] of the game X It is determined whether or not the user is a customer (S203). That is, in S203, the control unit 4 determines that the number of visits C included in the unit data including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k] (hereinafter referred to as the number of visits C of the user [i, k]) is the threshold number. It is determined whether or not it is greater than TH (here, TH = 3).

  When the seat unit S [i, k] remains unsold (YES in S202), or when the user [i, k] is not the preferred user even if the seat unit S [i, k] remains unsold (S203) NO), the control unit 4 determines whether or not the seat unit S [i, k] is the rightmost seat unit S [i, M] (S204). When the seat unit S [i, k] is the rightmost seat unit S [i, M] (YES in S204), the control unit 4 selects the next seat unit row L [i] and selects the seat unit. If S [i, k] is not the rightmost seat unit S [i, M] (NO in S204), the seat unit on the right side of the seat unit S [i, k] is selected (S205), and after S202. Re-execute the step.

  On the other hand, when the seat unit S [i, k] is not sold (NO in S202) and the user [i, k] is a good customer (YES in S203), the control unit 4 It is determined whether S [i, k] is the leftmost seat unit S [i, 1] (S204A). When the seat unit S [i, k] is not the leftmost seat unit S [i, 1] (NO in S204A), the control unit 4 determines the seat unit S [i, k] on the left side of the seat unit S [i, k]. k-1] is unsold (S205A). That is, in S205A, the control unit 4 determines whether or not unit data (see FIG. 8) including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k-1] is stored in the main memory 6. If the unit data including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k-1] is not stored in the main memory 6, it is determined that the seat unit S [i, k-1] remains unsold.

  When the seat unit S [i, k] is not the leftmost seat unit S [i, 1] (NO in S204A) and the seat unit S [i, k-1] remains unsold (YES in S205A), The control unit 4 sets the implementation date of the game X as information indicating “granting target game”, sets the ID of the user [i, k] as information indicating “grantee user”, and sets the seat unit The ID of S [i, k−1] is set as information indicating “granting seat unit” (S206A). And the control part 4 will perform the step after S204, after performing the provision routine shown in FIG. 11 (S207A).

  The giving routine will be described with reference to FIG. In the assigning routine, the control unit 4 issues a unique unique ID (S301) and notifies the issued unique ID to the user [i, k] (S302). Specifically, in S <b> 302, the control unit 4 transmits the above-described specific mail for notifying the issued unique ID to the mail address of the user [i, k]. Then, the control unit 4 generates grant data including the issued unique ID, information indicating the grant target game, information indicating the grant destination user, and information indicating the grant target coordinate unit (S303), and the generated grant data Is stored in the hard disk 8. FIG. 12 shows the assignment data.

  When the seat unit S [i, k] is the leftmost seat unit S [i, 1] (YES in S204A), the control unit 4 proceeds to step S207B. The control unit 4 also proceeds to step S207B when the seat unit S [i, k-1] is not sold (NO in S205A). However, when the seat unit S [i, k] is the rightmost seat unit S [i, M] (YES in S206B), the control unit 4 does not proceed to the step of S207B, but the next seat unit row L [ i] will be selected.

  Next, steps after S207B will be described. In S207B, the control unit 4 determines whether the seat unit S [i, k + 1] on the right side of the seat unit S [i, k] remains unsold (S207B). That is, in S207B, the control unit 4 determines whether or not unit data including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k + 1] is stored in the main memory 6. If the unit data including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k + 1] is not stored in the main memory 6, it is determined that the seat unit S [i, k + 1] remains unsold.

  When the seat unit S [i, k + 1] is not sold (NO in S207B), the control unit 4 selects the seat unit on the right side of the seat unit S [i, k] (S208D), and the steps after S203 Try again.

  On the other hand, when the seat unit S [i, k + 1] remains unsold (YES in S207B), the control unit 4 determines whether the seat unit S [i, k + 1] is the rightmost seat unit S [i, M]. Is determined (S208B). When the seat unit S [i, k + 1] is the rightmost seat unit S [i, M] (YES in S208B), the control unit 4 sets the implementation date of the game X as information indicating “granting game”. In addition, the ID of the user [i, k] is set as information indicating “grantee user”, and the ID of the seat unit S [i, k + 1] is set as information indicating “granting seat unit” ( S209B). And the control part 4 will select the next seat unit row | line | column L [i], after performing the provision routine shown in FIG. 11 (S210B).

  On the other hand, when the seat unit S [i, k + 1] is not the rightmost seat unit S [i, M] (NO in S208B), the control unit 4 determines that the seat unit S [i, k] is two right-side seat units S. It is determined whether [i, k + 2] is unsold (S209C). That is, in S209C, the control unit 4 determines whether or not unit data including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k + 2] is stored in the main memory 6. When the unit data including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k + 2] is not stored in the main memory 6, it is determined that the seat unit S [i, k + 2] is not sold.

  When the seat unit S [i, k + 2] is not sold (NO in S209C), the control unit 4 determines that the user [i, k + 2] holding the watching ticket for the seat unit S [i, k + 2] of the game X is displayed. It is determined whether or not the user is a customer (S210C). That is, in S210C, the control unit 4 determines that the number of visits C included in the unit data including the ID of the seat unit S [i, k + 2] (hereinafter referred to as the number of visits C of the user [i, k + 2]) is the threshold value. It is determined whether the number of times is equal to or greater than TH.

  When the seat unit S [i, k + 2] remains unsold (YES in S209C), or when the user [i, k + 2] is not the best customer even if the seat unit S [i, k + 2] remains unsold (S210C) The control unit 4 sets the implementation date of the game X as information indicating “granting target game” and sets the ID of the user [i, k] as “granting user” in the same manner as in S209B. The ID of the seat unit S [i, k + 1] is set as information indicating the “granting seat unit” (S211C). Further, after executing the granting routine shown in FIG. 11 (S212C), the control unit 4 determines whether or not the seat unit S [i, k + 2] is the rightmost seat unit S [i, M] (S213C). ).

  When the seat unit S [i, k + 2] is not the rightmost seat unit S [i, M] (NO in S213C), the control unit 4 selects the right three seat units of the seat unit S [i, k]. Then, the steps after S202 are re-executed. When the seat unit S [i, k + 2] is the rightmost seat unit S [i, M] (YES in S213C), the control unit 4 selects the next seat unit row L [i]. .

  On the other hand, when the seat unit S [i, k + 2] is not sold (NO in S209C) and the user [i, k + 2] is a good customer (YES in S210C), the control unit 4 determines that the user [ The number of visits C of i, k] is compared with the number of visits C of user [i, k + 2] (S211Ca). Further, the control unit 4 selects one of the user [i, k] and the user [i, k + 2] as the user X based on the comparison result. Here, when the number of visits C of the user [i, k + 2] is equal to or greater than the number of visits C of the user [i, k], the control unit 4 selects the user [i, k + 2] as the user X and , K + 2] is less than the number of visits C of the user [i, k], the user [i, k] is selected as the user X. And the control part 4 sets the implementation date of the game X as information which shows "granting object game", sets the ID of the user X as information which shows "grantee user", and seat unit S [ ID of i, k + 1] is set as information indicating “granting seat unit” (S211Cb). Then, the steps after S212C are executed.

[Process-3]
The user who has confirmed the specific mail with his client terminal 5 inputs the unique ID described in the specific mail to the nearest ticket vending machine 7 in order to obtain the watching ticket. When the unique ID is input to the ticket vending machine 7, the unique ID is transmitted from the ticket vending machine 7 to the watching ticket sales server 2, and the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 13 in the watching ticket sales server 2 that has received the unique ID. Is executed.

  That is, the control unit 4 reads grant data including the received unique ID (hereinafter referred to as grant data X) from the hard disk 8 (S401), and sends the grant data X to the ticket vending machine 7 that transmitted the unique ID. Transmit (S402).

  Then, the control unit 4 updates the vacancy status data (see FIG. 5) of the grant target game specified by the grant data X as follows (S403). That is, the control unit 4 overwrites the vacancy status of the grant target seat unit specified by the grant data X with the ID of the grantee user specified by the grant data X in the vacancy status data of the grant target game. That is, the control unit 4 assigns the grant destination user to the grant target seat unit. Thereby, a watching ticket for each grant destination target seat is given to the grant destination user.

  And the control part 4 deletes the provision data X (S404).

  The ticket vending machine 7 that has received the grant data X issues a watching ticket for watching the grant target game in units of grant target seats based on the grant data X.

[Others]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

  For example, in the above, the watching ticket for the unsold seat unit is given free of charge, but the watching ticket for the unsold seat unit is given at a price lower than the regular price (predetermined consideration) of the watching ticket. May be made subject to payment. That is, the granting unit 26 may grant the watching ticket for the unsold seat unit on condition that the amount corresponding to the special price lower than the regular price of the watching ticket is paid. In this case, after receiving the information indicating that the amount corresponding to the special price has been paid from the ticket vending machine 7 after the step of S402 in FIG. 13, the control unit 4 performs the processing after S403 and the watching ticket. What is necessary is just to perform to the ticket vending machine 7 of a ticket issue instruction | indication. Here, the control unit 4 may control the special price based on the number of visits C of the grantee user. For example, a candidate for a special price is stored in advance in the hard disk 8 in association with the condition regarding the number of visits C, and the control unit 4 is based on the candidate associated with the above condition that the number of visits C of the grantee user satisfies. A special price can be determined.

  In addition, for example, the watching ticket may be an electronic certificate (electronic ticket) stored in a mobile phone, a mobile terminal, or the like instead of a paper certificate.

  For example, the seat unit may correspond to a seat for a plurality of people.

  In addition, for example, the granting unit 26 holds an unsold seat unit (second area) watching ticket and a seat unit (first area) watching ticket within a predetermined distance from the seat unit. It may be given to the customer user (first user) who is.
