Systems and methods for facilitating event access through payment accounts

Abstract:

Exemplary systems and methods for facilitating access to events based on associations between payment accounts and such access are disclosed. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a computing device, an access request for an event where the access request is associated with a consumer requesting access to the event, and searching, by the computing device, in a data structure for a payment account identified in the request. When the identified payment account is found, the method includes verifying, by the computing device, that the identified payment account is associated with the event. And, when association of the payment account and the event is verified, the method includes causing, by the computing device, an access output to be generated at the event, whereby the consumer is permitted access to the event, based on the access output, without separately presenting credentials.
