All pro sports teams experience no-shows (sold ticket, unused seat), reducing per-caps and causing unnecessary waste, even at “sold-out” events. The unmet opportunity is enormous. Teams cannot only fill their stadiums, they can make sure the right fans are in the best places. Built on patent-pending “Customer-First”, technology, the FanUp™ System generates immediate value by filing empty seats by identifying probable no-shows before they happen. FanUp’s in-game upgrades activate a powerful rewards engine that builds long-term ticket liquidity. It simultaneously generates more efficient inventory turns by matching available seats with selected users in a behind-the-scenes game of musical chairs, maximizing revenue while uniquely enabling the team’s proprietary first-party consumer data streams.
