Event Management System for Facilitating User Interactions at a Venue

A method comprising:

• detecting, by a first event computing device located at a first area of an event venue, a plurality of unique identifiers each being periodically transmitted by a respective one of a plurality of user computing devices;
• comparing, by the first event computing device, each of the detected unique identifiers to a list having a plurality of valid unique identifiers that permit access to the first area and a subset of the valid unique identifiers that also permit access to a second area of the event venue;
• determining, from the comparison performed by the first event computing device, whether each of the detected unique identifiers are valid unique identifiers permitting access to the first area;
• enabling access to the first area to a user holding one of the plurality of user computing devices transmitting one of the unique identifiers determined to be a valid unique identifier;
• detecting, by a second event computing device located at the second area, at least one of the unique identifiers determined to be in the subset of valid unique identifiers;
• comparing, by the second event computing device, each of the detected unique identifiers to the list of valid unique identifiers;
• determining, from the comparison performed by the second event computing device, that at least one of the detected unique identifiers is in the subset of valid unique identifiers permitting access to the second area;
• enabling access to the second area to a user holding the respective user computing device transmitting the at least one detected unique identifier determined to be in the subset of valid unique identifiers.

An event management system, comprising:

• a first event computing device located at a first area of an event venue, the first event computing device having a first processor configured with a first instruction set that, when executed, causes the first processor to:
• detect a plurality of unique identifiers each being periodically transmitted by a respective one of a plurality of user computing devices;
• determine, for each of the detected plurality of unique identifiers, that a first subset of the detected plurality of unique identifiers are valid unique identifiers permitting access to the first area;
• enable access to the first area to a user holding one of the plurality of user computing devices transmitting one of the first subset of the detected unique identifiers determined to be a valid unique identifier;
• a second event computing device located at a second area of the event venue, the second event computing device having a second processor configured with a second instruction set that, when executed, causes the second processor to:
• detect at least one of the first subset of the detected plurality of unique identifiers being periodically transmitted;
• determine that the at least one of the first subset of the detected plurality of unique identifiers is a valid unique identifier permitting access to the second area;
• and
• enable access to the second area to a user holding a user computing device the at least one of the first subset of the detected plurality of unique identifiers determined to be a valid unique identifier permitting access to the second area.
