## Abstract

A system transforms one or more inputs to determine a price for a ticket and presents this price for single action selection.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A ticket transfer system, comprising:
a periodic clock device;
a server to accumulate demand signals generated by a plurality of client devices, the demand signals for access to an upcoming event;
a tracker applying an output of the periodic clock device to track a current time in relation to a window of time before the upcoming event;
algorithm logic adapted to apply the current time in relation to the window of time from the tracker and accumulated demand signals from the server to determine a logarithmic decay to a price of an electronic ticket as a start time for the event approaches, and an exponential decay to the price of the electronic ticket after the start time passes; and
a user interface configured to be displayed on a machine display of a client device, the user interface periodically reconfigured by the server to display the ticket price in conjunction with a single action control, activation of the single action control:
effecting a transfer of ownership of the electronic ticket; and
initiating one or more machines to regenerate the ticket and to send a regenerated version of the ticket to a client device of a purchaser of the ticket.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The ticket transfer system of claim 1, further comprising:
the algorithm logic obtaining inputs from sensors identifying physical locations of client devices of potential buyers of the ticket within a determined distance of a venue of the event and applying the locations to affect the ticket price.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The ticket transfer system of claim 2, further comprising:
logic adapted to apply traffic conditions to identify the potential buyers of the ticket.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The ticket transfer system of claim 1, further comprising:
logic adapted to apply bid velocity or bid acceleration for the ticket to the displayed price.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The ticket transfer system of claim 1, further comprising:
logic adapted to apply bidding history for tickets having similar properties as the ticket to affect the displayed price.
