The problem

Small venues and organizers pay a fee on every ticket a big vendor sells, and the buyer list ends up in the vendor's hands. The question: could an organizer run their own show night, seats to door, without paying that per-ticket fee?

What I built

  • Event admin: events, ticket types, fee options, capacity, sales recording, Google sign-in.
  • A reserved seat map that works on a phone. Pick your seats and check out in a few taps.
  • PDF tickets, sent right after checkout.
  • A door scanner a volunteer can run from their phone. A ticket that's already been used says "already scanned."
  • An orders list with CSV export, so the organizer keeps its own buyer list.

A proof of concept, not in production and not for sale. It's here to show the range: full-service builds at any scale. You describe the problem, I go build it.
