Event ticketing platform development.
Sell your own tickets and keep the booking fee.
Ticketing platforms charge a fee on every ticket, and for a venue or promoter doing volume that adds up to a substantial annual cost. Running your own is very achievable — the parts that need care are capacity control under load, valid tickets that cannot be duplicated, and a door process that works when a queue is forming.
What’s included
- Ticket types, tiers and early-bird pricing
- Seat and table selection where relevant
- Capacity control that holds under simultaneous demand
- QR or barcode tickets with scan-based check-in
- Door check-in that works offline if wifi fails
- Refunds, exchanges and name transfers
- Post-event settlement and sales reporting
On-sale is a load problem
A popular on-sale means every buyer arrives in the same sixty seconds. Overselling is unacceptable and a crashed site is worse. That means atomic inventory, a holding window while payment completes, and releasing abandoned holds promptly.
The door has to work without wifi
Venue connectivity fails at exactly the wrong moment. Check-in should validate offline against a downloaded list and sync afterwards, so a queue never stops because the connection dropped.
Common questions
Can we do reserved seating?
Yes, with a seat map. It is more complex than general admission, so worth confirming you need it.
How does check-in work?
QR code on the ticket, scanned with a phone or scanner, validated against the guest list with offline fallback.
Can we handle refunds and transfers?
Yes, with your rules on deadlines and fees, including name changes for transferred tickets.
