In both cases, the occupancy of the seat is detected, an amount owed is determined based on the occupancy of the seat, and an ecommerce transaction is initiated via the mobile device to pay the amount. The determination of the amount may be delayed for a period after the individual has stopped moving to ensure they have made their final choice. The individual may be required to verify a relevant characteristic, such as age or membership in a discounted group.

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for transaction auditing. One example method includes receiving text submitted with a request. Token values are automatically extracted for selected token types from the text using a machine learning model. Tokens are identified in the text, and for each token, features and a token type of the token are determined, along with a score that indicates a likelihood that the token has the token type. A token value is extracted for the token from the text. Extracted token values are compared to request data values. A request value for the selected token type is identified in the data values for each selected token type. The extracted token value for each selected token type is compared to the request value. An audit alert is generated in response to determining that an extracted token value does not match a corresponding request value.

A ticket exchange server is configured to monitor seat usage in a stadium during an event. The ticket exchange server provides a first ticket for a seat to a first client device in response to a request from a first user of the first client device. The ticket exchange server unlocks the seat in response to detecting a presence of the first user at the seat. The ticket exchange server receives an indication from the first user surrendering the seat prior to completion of the event and locks the seat. The ticket exchange server provides a second ticket for the seat for a remainder of the event to a second client device of a second user in response to a request for the seat from the second client device. The ticket exchange server unlocks the seat in response to detecting a presence of the second user at the seat.
