ABSTRACT
This
project is aimed at developing an online ticket reservation system for Movies. The
Ticket Reservation System is an Internet based application that can be accessed
through the use of the internet and can be accessed by anyone who has a network
connection. This application will automate the reservation of tickets. This
online ticket reservation system
provides a website where any user of internet can access it. The Movie hall
should have at least multiplex with 3 screens and each screen has three
different types of classes/seats. Only 50% of seats can be reserved online.
User is required to login to the system and needs a bank credit card for booking
the tickets. Tickets can be collected at
the counter. Watching movies with family and friends in theatres is one of the
best medium of entertainment and relaxation after the daily hectic schedule. But
all this excitement vanishes after standing for hours on long queues to get
tickets booked. The website provides complete information regarding current
running movies on all the screens with details of show timings, available seats
and fare charges for different classes. Seats
can be reserved for different classes as well for same show and screen also.
Ticket reservations are done using credit card and can be cancelled if needed.
The online tickets reservation system is one of the best opportunities for those
who do not have enough time to get their tickets reserved standing in long
queues. People can book tickets online at any time of day or night. Our
reservation system also provides option to cancel the tickets which are reserve
previously.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The
online Electronic Ticket System (ETS) is a web-based system used in developed
countries for booking seats by customers for concerts, movies and other social
events requiring customers to show interest in up-coming social events. The
customers can buy ticket online and cancel seat reservations at any suitable
time which could be two days before the show to one hour before the show. To
enhance the refund function, all the customer has to do is to register to
become a member before buying tickets.
Staffs
can use the system to add and delete data such as film description, time, and
seat reservations among other things and this will update the webpage; the
webpage is a dynamic page, changing according to the data input in the database.
Also, staffs can check the statistic information from the system.
This
project will produce an online ticket ordering system, showing the design,
implementation and testing details of the system.
1.1 OBJECTIVE
OF THE PROJECT
The
main purpose of the online ticket booking system is to provide a simple and
convenient way for the customers to buy movie ticket. It is an automated system
which operates on the data input to the database; Staffs need not deal with the
order receive through the system. In fact, there is similar system on the
internet, but there is no refund method found in the existing system. This system is basically aimed at providing
the customers the complete information of the currently running movie,
according to which the customer can book the tickets and the refund facility
provides more flexibility to the system. The goals of the system are:
1.
To
provide a convenient, anytime and anyplace ticket booking service for movie
viewers
2.
To
minimize the numbers of staffs at ticket box.
3.
To
increase the profit margin of movie houses/galleria.
4.
To promote a healthy use
of internet through movies ticket booking on the internet
5.
To reduce queue at ticket
stands.
6.
To obtain statistic
information from the booking record for research purpose.
1.2 PROBLEM DEFINITION:
Ø Manual
Process: Customers queue at
box office to first check for currently playing movies before buying tickets
which may take hours.
Ø New System
Here is a detail flow diagram about now playing movies and number
of tickets available in a particular theatre for particular movie, movie details,
ticket cost for registered users and queue awaiting sale of ticket through
manual process such as booking through telephone or booking at designated box
office.
1.3
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
The main significance of online
ticket reservation system is to provide another way for the customer to book for
movie. The Ticket Reservation System is an internet based application
that can be accessed through the use of the internet and can be accessed by any
one who has an internet connection. It is an automated system, where we
will automate the reservation of tickets and enquiries about availability of
tickets. After inserting the data to the database, staffs need not to worry
about the orders received through the system and hence reduces the manual
labour.
1.4 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The main scope of this
project is to create room for reservation online and to enable customers choose
the most desirable movie; It saves the customer’s time and labour. On the other
hand, half of the tickets of the movie are provided for booking online while
the remaining is for manual box office sale. This reduces the labour of staffs
and the system can be accessed by anyone who has internet connection at any
time of the day or night, thus providing customer’s comfort. And also plays a
major role in promoting the multiplex and the movies.
