TicketLounge Platform Development -- 2

Job ID: 40401472

Budget: $2 – $8 USD

I’m building TicketLounge, a professional-grade ticketing marketplace in the spirit of Computicket or Webtickets. The site must let organisers list events on a self-service basis while giving fans a smooth path to purchase and receive their tickets instantly in PDF form by email.

Public-facing experience
• Modern, responsive pages styled in a clean, corporate look that matches a trustworthy brand.
• Secure checkout supporting Credit/Debit Cards and PayPal from day one.
• Auto-generated, uniquely bar-coded PDFs and confirmation emails delivered the moment payment clears.

Organiser journey
New organisers create an account and submit events for manual approval; once vetted they earn a blue-badge and can publish future events instantly. Each organiser needs a real-time dashboard that shows ticket counts, revenue, and demographic stats, with CSV download available for deeper analysis.

Back-office control
The admin panel must recognise three roles—Admin, Event Organiser, and Sub-admin—each with granular permissions. From here I want to:
• Review and approve new organisers and events.
• Trigger manual payouts when settlement is due.
• Monitor live sales with charts and tables that refresh in real time.
• Export any report to CSV for reconciliations or audits.

Entry management
A lightweight mobile web app—or native scanner if you prefer—should read the PDF barcodes/QRs and update the database instantly to prevent duplicate entries.

Deliverables
1. Responsive website with ticket catalogue, checkout, and confirmation flow.
2. Self-service organiser portal tied to the role system and approval logic.
3. Full admin suite with analytics, CSV export, and manual payout tools.
4. Scanning solution for on-site validation (mobile-web or small native app).
5. Source code, deployment scripts, and brief hand-over documentation.

Acceptance criteria: pages load smoothly on modern desktop and mobile browsers, payments process without error, PDFs scan correctly at the gate, and live dashboards reflect ticket scans within a few seconds.

If you already work with frameworks such as Laravel, Django, Node.js, React, or similar—and have payment gateway experience—this build should feel familiar. I look forward to a robust, well-documented release that’s ready for real events.
