Overview

This project involved developing a comprehensive event ticket booking system, with distinct domains for the frontend and backend (admin portal). The system is built using Laravel and deployed on AWS for scalability and reliability. Users can register, log in via Google or Facebook, book tickets, receive email confirmations, view and download tickets with QR codes, and manage their bookings. The admin portal allows event organizers to add sellers, merchants, manage events, set ticket prices and availability, and track ticket sales. The system also includes advanced features like marking tickets as issued upon QR scan, ensuring secure and efficient event management.

The project’s architecture is designed to handle high traffic and provide a seamless user experience. Email notifications, including ticket details and event updates, are automated, enhancing user engagement and satisfaction. The QR code functionality integrates with the system to provide real-time ticket validation and management.

Code Structure

The codebase follows Laravel’s MVC architecture, ensuring maintainability and scalability. The system is modular, with separate components for user authentication, event management, ticket handling, and QR code generation. Middleware is employed for security features such as authentication, role-based access control, and input validation. The admin portal and frontend share a common backend but operate on separate domains to streamline the user experience and administrative tasks. The use of Laravel's job queues and email services ensures that operations like sending ticket confirmations and marking tickets as issued are handled asynchronously, improving overall performance.
