Patent US 9,747,285

A computer-implemented method for presenting an entertainment requester with a selection of entertainment events comprises determining a geographic location of the entertainment requester and conducting, with the aid of a processor, a search for at least one entertainment event within a search area encompassing in whole or in part the geographic location of the entertainment requester. A geographic location of one or more entertainment events revealed upon the search is then displayed to the user on a graphical user interface (GUI) of an electronic device of the entertainment requester. The entertainment requester may then check into an entertainment event selected from the one or more entertainment events.
