A purchased ticket may be electronically received by the user and saved to a database accessible by the computing device. The ticket may be assigned a unique fingerprint to prevent fraudulent activity. The ticketing application receives a selection of one or more tickets to be transferred to another party. A transfer recipient (having access to the ticketing application) is identified. In one embodiment, a user may request a payment amount from the transfer recipient for the transferred ticket. Once a user has identified a transfer recipient and payment amount (if applicable), the user may then confirm and/or authorize the transfer. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for ticket transfer, the method comprising: storing a ticketing application in memory of a computing device; and executing instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions are executable by a processor to: receive at least one ticket on the computing device; assign a fingerprint to the at least one ticket; receive an indication of one or more tickets from a plurality of tickets stored in a database to transfer to a transfer recipient; confirm the transfer of the one or more tickets to the transfer recipient; and receive an indication on the computing device of acceptance or refusal of the transfer of the one or more tickets from the transfer recipient. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one ticket received on the computing device is purchased by the user associated with the computing device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the user purchases the at least one ticket received on the computing device as a digital ticket. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the user purchases at least one ticket received on the computing device as a print-at-home ticket. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the user purchases the at least one ticket received on the computing device from a ticket vendor. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the user purchases the at least one ticket received on the computing device from a second user of the ticketing application. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the user identifies the transfer recipient by name, e-mail address, or username. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising requesting a payment amount from the transfer recipient for the ticket. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein a user specifies the payment amount. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the user chooses the payment amount from a list of pre-set dollar amounts. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising sending the transfer recipient identified in a notification of the transfer. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising presenting details associated with the transfer to the transfer recipient. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the details include event details, transferor details, and ticket details. ### Claim 14 Cancelled ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising setting a predetermined expiration time for the transfer recipient to accept or refuse the transfer. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the user sets the expiration time. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the recipient accepts the transfer, and further comprising: removing the ticket from an account associated with the user; and moving the ticket to an account associated with the transfer recipient. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the recipient refuses the transfer, and further comprising: returning the ticket to an account associated with the user; and allowing the user to transfer the ticket to a different party. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising allowing the user to view all pending incoming transfers, outgoing transfers, and a history of all prior ticket transfers. ### Claim 20 A system for ticket transfer, the system comprising: a server that generates a graphical interface, the server including: memory; and at least one processor; and non-transitory instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to: receive at least one ticket; assign a fingerprint to the at least one ticket; select one or more tickets from a plurality of tickets stored in a database; identify a transfer recipient; and confirm the transfer of the one or more tickets to the transfer recipient; and receive an indication of acceptance or refusal of the transfer of the one or more tickets from the transfer recipient.
