Ticketing and Live Events App Development
Ticketing apps are judged twice: once when someone buys, and once when they stand at a gate in the rain. Both moments have to be fast, and only one of them has good connectivity.
Seat selection and inventory
Interactive seat maps need held-seat locks, timeout release and consistent inventory across web, app and box office. Overselling is a product failure, not an edge case.
Wallets, transfer and resale
Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes, rotating barcodes, ticket transfer and controlled resale reduce fraud and support load at the same time.
Entry scanning offline
Scanners must work with no signal and reconcile later. Cache the entitlement list on device, sign it, and sync duplicates when the network returns.
Traffic that arrives all at once
On-sale moments are the same shape as a sports kickoff: a wall, not a curve. Queueing, pre-warmed capacity and a hardened payment path decide whether launch day is a success story.
