Entertainment

Ticket Sales
People wishing to order tickets call an IVRS and select from a menu of upcoming events. They are prompted to enter the area of the arena or hall where they wish to sit and are told if seats are available and in what section.

Concert & Movie Schedules
Information on upcoming concerts & movies can be provided more effectively by an IVRS. Callers are presented with a menu of choices and are able to select the concert information they are interested in, instead of having to listen to a long list of current events. Sponsors of each event are given an access number to record late-breaking information, or they can have the performing artist leave a message for callers.

Horoscopes
A computer can be programmed to take information from callers and generate a personalized horoscope instead of the standard ones normally offered over the phone. Fax-on-demand options can deliver a printed copy.

Crossword Puzzles
Crossword puzzle fans who get stuck trying to complete the daily puzzle in the newspaper call and get answers by entering the "down" or "across" number of the clue.

News and other information
IVRS can provide pre-recorded information or entertainment services such as news, sports results, or weather.

Sports Results
Callers dial to hear up-to-the-minute sports scores or results.

Music online
Callers dial in and listen to samples of the latest CDs/music. If they wish to buy one, they press a touch tone digit. A more sophisticated system can automate the ordering process by prompting callers to enter their address and credit card number.
