In order to exchange waiting time, troublesomeness, and labor incurred in the receiving of goods and services with a monetary value, and acquire a priority with respect to the provision of goods and services, an auction system receives bids for queuing exemption rights from bidder terminals, decides upon a successful bidder for the queuing exemption rights, sends an exemption rights password corresponding to the queuing exemption rights to the terminal of the decided upon bidder, and sends the exemption rights password to an exemption rights authentication system. When the exemption rights authentication system acquires the exemption rights password from the successful bidder, the exemption rights password acquired from the successful bidder and the exemption rights password acquired from the auction system are collated, and when the result of this collation is a match, a signal indicating that the result of this collation is a match is outputted to exemption notification means.
