1. A method for a user to make event reservations by using a tangible computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions implemented by a computing system for formatting and storing event information indicative of pre-established crowd-drawing events wherein said event information is either provided by an external database or generated internally in response to pre-established crowd-drawing events, said method comprising:
determining, at one or more remote servers, primary and/or secondary geo-fence perimeter bands corresponding to said pre-established crowd-drawing events;
receiving, at said one or more remote servers, input from a speculator electronic device, wherein said input includes at least one offer of legally controlling a peak occupancy demand band corresponding with said geo-fence perimeter bands around said pre-established crowd-drawing events;
generating, at said one or more remote servers, a legal contract generator which operates in response to said at least one offer of legally controlling a peak occupancy demand band;
generating, at said one or more remote servers, a contract for occupancy by said legal contract generator, in which said contract is generated corresponding to said pre-established crowd-drawing events in response to acceptance by a lodging reservation supervisor;
evaluating, at said one or more remote servers, potential pricing for speculator listed properties corresponding to said pre-established crowd-drawing events;
wherein said user activates a browser associated with a first URL which is associated with said lodging reservation supervisor, and in turn, said user is redirected to a second URL associated with an online marketplace wherein said user is able to selectively filter marketplace listings by criteria such as but not limited to event, country, or date and wherein said user selects from said filtered criteria and then makes a bid on a specific listing reservation; and
wherein said lodging reservation supervisor ascertains if a room reservation is acceptable based on specific information received, and if the reservation is acceptable and if availability exists, said lodging reservation supervisor transmits acceptance of said reservation, said user's payment and contact credentials are presented to said lodging reservation supervisor to hold said reservation, said acceptance of said reservation is transmitted to said user, and said user's personal information, credit card and contact credentials are transmitted to said lodging reservation supervisor who in turn processes said payment and removes available room prices from public websites enabling participation of said user in said event reservations.
