 ABSTRUCT

This project is aimed at developing a tap card ticketing and ticket reservation for cinema.
The Tap Card Ticketing and Reservation System is an Internet based application that can be
accessed throughout the Net and can be accessed by anyone who has net connection. This
application will automate the reservation of tickets.

This online ticket reservation system provides a website for a cinema hall where any user of
internet can access it. This cinema hall is a multiplex with 3 screens and each screen has three
different types of classes/seats. Only 50% of seats can be reserved online. User required to login
to the system and needs a credit card for booking the tickets. Tickets can be collected at the
counter or in a member tap card accessed.
Watching movies with family and friends in theaters is one of the best medium of entertainment
after having a hectic schedule. But all this excitement vanishes after standing in hour in long
queues to get tickets booked.

The website provides complete information regarding currently running movies online the
screens with details of show timings. Available seats and fare charges of different classes. Seats
can be reserved for different classes as well for same show and screen also. Ticket reservation
are done using credit card and can be cancelled if needed.

Our online tickets reservation system is one of the best opportunities for those who cannot afford
enough time to get their tickets reserved standing in long queues. People can book tickets online
at any time.
 INTRODUCTION
This project is aimed at developing a tap card ticketing and ticket online reservation system for
Cinema Hall. Tap Card Ticking and Ticket Online Reservation System is an Internet based
application that can be accesses throughout the Net can be accessed by anyone who has a net
connection. This application will automate the reservation of tickets and Enquires about
availability of the tickets. This application includes email confirmation for the tickets.

This is one of the important features of our system. By examining the existing system on the
internet, we found that there is on such function available at this moment, so we try to include it
in our system. To protect the benefit of the cinema, we will not give the money back to customer,
instead the customer has to visit cinema hall for further process. So the customer can get the
money from the cinema hall. Hence both the customer and the cinema can sort our further
matter.

Functional components of the project:

Following is a list of functionalities of the system. More functionality that you find appropriate
can be added to this list. And, in place where the description of functionality is not adequate, you
make appropriate assumptions and proceed.

The Cinema hall has a web site any user of internet can access this. The cinema hall is a
multiplex which has 2 or more screens. Each screen has 3 different type of seats/classes
depending on the rate of the class/seat. Only 100% of the seats are available for online
reservation.

1. A person should be able to

 Choose the film which he/she wish to see the Movie
 Query the films on show for one weeks (Only one week advance reservation is
available) should be there.
 Able to choose the seats which are available for a certain class.
 Can select seats from different classes as well for same show and screen also.
 Give details about the credit card or tap card through which he is doing payment.
 Able collect tickets at the counter presenting the unique id send to his/her through
email.
2. A mail should be send to the concerned person about the confirmation of the ticket to the
specified email address.
 3. The system should automatically show the fare for the corresponding shows and amount
of money needs to be pay for selected seats.

1.3 Review of Related Literature

Old theatre booking system

The theatre provides infrastructure and facilities for a performance to take place,The same way
in which a cinema provides screen and projectors to show movies.
An audience patronize this for a fee. A booking system is used to ensure customers can purchase
tickets for a given performance well in advance and avoid being disappointed at the last minute.
Theatre owners also prefer tickets to be sold as early as possible, both for financial reasons and
to avoid a long queue at the entrance just before the performance is due to start. The theatre box
office is the section where the booing are made, being the first point of contact between the
theatre an the public.

Before electronic printers were introduced in box office, ticket books were used. The theatre staff
would also have a plan for each performance, with a corresponding ticket book.
The customers would have access to a diagram of the theatre to indicate their preferred seats.
The staff was also expected to know about the performance in question, so that customer
questions could be dealt with in satisfactory manner. The customer would finally pay for the
agreed seats and receive tickets printed with the respective seat numbers. The staff would have to
carefully mark off the seats on the seating plan for every ticket sold, to avoid double booking.

Seats were also sold by telephone or mail order to those customers who would not readily pay a
visit to the box office. In the mail order system, the customer would post a cheque with an order
for the desired seats, date and time, with a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
IF the order arrives early enough, the box office would book the seat requested, and post the
appropriate tickets back to the customers, who would receive them at least two days after the
order was first sent, However, if the order had been sent after desired seats had been sold, the
box office would have to send the customers a refund, with the list of the remaining seats. This
process would then ne repeated until the customers either accept an alternative booking, or
demand a refund if all desirable seats had been sold out. Therefore, mail order could also result
in disappointment to the customer and a revenue loss to the cinema. To make the mail ordering
process more effective, theatre also sold seats for a whole season of performance. On some
occasions, not every ticket would have been sold out, and some ticket holders would not attend.
In order to maximize profits, the box office would sell any unreserved seats subsidized rates a
few hours before the show starts and the subsidized tickets would be clearly indicated on the
tickets stub (which is retained in the box office) for easy accountabilities at the end of the days.
Sales were sometimes deduced by counting the number of unsold tickets after the performance
had begun, but due consideration would have to be given regarding any discounting ticket sold.
The theatre manager was concerned with various tickets sales report, such as master statement
showing the number of seats at each price and the total potential income on ticket sales, daily
reports, weekly reports, weekly reports and seasonal reports.

An example of a "weekly return" (gives the seats occupation as a percentage and total money
collected for each day of the week) and "Final Returns" (which gives the total money collected in
advance booking, at the doors and percentage of seats occupied).

Therefore, theatre managers in the past made use of ticket sales reports and the reporting style
varied from one theatre to the other.

Modern Theatre Booking Systems

Although the fundamental principles of a theatre booking system have remained unchanged
overtime, developments in communication and other technologies have major impact on their
implementation. In 1969, Sweeting speculated that perhaps theatres could benefits from
computerized ticketing system, similar to what airlines at the time had started to adopt.
In the late 1960's the personal computer was not common and were bulky, expensive industrial
machines which would set up to execute tasks specific to the organization in question, making
them too expensive for small and medium enterprises to acquire.

Langley in 1980 suggested that computer-based ticket system was only feasible for large theatre
operations.
However, with today's comparatively low hardware cost, the computer has become affordable
and is common in most offices.
 1.2 Background of the Study
A movie theater or movie theatre (also called a cinema, movie house, film house, film theater or
picture house) is a venue, usually a building, fir viewing movies (films). Most but not all movie
theater are commercial operations catering to the general public, who attend by purchasing a
ticket. The movie is projected with a movie projector onto a large projection screen at the front
of the auditorium. Most movie theaters are now equipped for digital cinema projection, removing
the need to create and transport a physical film print.

1.5 Statement of the Problem

There is a problem of having online access to the booking system of most cinema viewing
centers. Tickets may have to be purchased on site and seat booking not feasible over the internet.

1.6 Objectives of the Study

The main purpose of the online ticket booking and purchasing system is to provide a convenient
way for customers to buy cinema tickets. It is a real time system and though there are similar
system for more advanced countries.
The objective of this study is to:
 Design and implement a web based cinema management system.
 Test the system online using test data
 Explain the benefits of using computers in information management
 Design and implement a tap card ticketing cinema management system.

1.6.1 General Objective
