The thesis presents an online system, or rather a web application, for ticket
reservations. The problem we set out to address stems from our own experi-
ences of an avid concert-goer. These events typically have a limited number
of tickets available, as venues can only accommodate a certain number of
people at a time. The biggest issue arises during the reservation process –
when tickets are selected, and a purchase is about to be made, only to find
out that the ticket we wanted has been sold "right under our nose." Alter-
natively, there can be situations where, due to poor system design, the same
ticket is sold multiple times, leading to significant confusion at the event. To
prevent such unfortunate incidents, we developed a ticket reservation system
that operates by updating seat statuses in real time. Thus, when a seat is
selected, reserved, or purchased by a customer, these changes are reflected in
the web application immediately. This ensures that from the very start, the
aforementioned problems are avoided, as the seat statuses are updated both
functionally and visually in real time
