TicketBooking – Flexible Event Commerce Platform

A multilingual, real-time ticketing stack for marathons, theater seasons, comedy nights, and festivals—built with live seat locking, QR-powered access, and organizer-grade analytics.

Key Features:

• Live Seat Selection & Locking – Interactive maps with SSE updates, best-available suggestions, accessibility flags, and countdown timers that auto-release seats if checkout isn’t finished.
• Flexible Ticket Models – Mix assigned seating, general-admission sectors, and family/group fee bundles with per-reservation limits and sector-level pricing.
• Admin & Seating Dashboard – Multi-tenant event management with sector manager, pricing tiers, templates, and real-time occupancy/analytics for every show.
• Payments & Proof Review – Upload/review payment proofs, approve reservations, and trigger instant PDF tickets with unique QR codes; auto-regenerate and resend when details change.
• QR Check-in Toolkit – Door staff can scan with the built-in QR scanner, validate status, and keep entry lines moving without third-party apps.
• Internationalized Growth – English, Spanish, French, and German metadata with canonical/hreflang tags, structured Event JSON-LD, dynamic sitemap/robots, and localized landing copy.
• Reliability & Safety – Postgres row-level locks on seats/GA counts, FOR UPDATE seat checks, trigger-based cleanup of expired reservations, and explicit limits to prevent oversells.
