As a task in my computing lesson just before the new year, we were tasked with making a theatre ticket machine system that allowed the user to select different films, their own seat and additionally, select if they wanted to buy a parking ticket (+£15).

With this project I used my prior knowledge of databases to make this feasible.

Task:

Create a theatre ticket system

Including:
Allowing the customer to buy a theatre ticket and/or parking ticket
Allow the customers details to be changed
Allow the tickets to be deleted or printed
Allow an admin to view all the tickets sold

Final Outcome:

I completed this task using a GUI, and a Database. I used the database to create individual tables for each ticket bought within each of the films and a table for all the tickets bought. With this table I also use it to tell the customer whether the ticket they have selected is available or not by searching the database table to see if that seat is already within a record.

When the customer finishes purchasing their ticket, they can also save it and/or print the ticket. If they chose to save the ticket they can also view the ticket at a later date.

At Admin level, tickets can be edited and deleted
