Happy Ticket - Sports & Events Ticketing Platform
Enterprise ticketing for matches, conferences, and live events in Saudi Arabia
Sports venues and event organizers in Saudi Arabia relied on manual ticketing.
Ticket fraud was common because there was no validation at the gate.
Fans couldn't transfer tickets to friends without reselling.
Venue owners had no real-time data on which seats sold or which events performed.
Multiple venues needed isolated systems but didn't want separate platforms.
The result: lost revenue, fraud exposure, and zero visibility into ticket operations.
Project Screenshots
We built a multi-tenant platform with complete tenant isolation so each venue runs independently on one codebase.
The ticketing engine handles two ticket types: seat-based match tickets with stadium block and seat selection, and event-based conference tickets with speaker management.
We added a gift ticket system where fans send tickets to friends with automatic expiration via Hangfire background jobs.
Gate validation uses QR codes generated with QRCoder and scanned with ZXing.
Payments go through Telr with HMAC-signed requests and callback verification.
Real-time updates push through 2 SignalR hubs for instant ticket status and notification delivery.
The permission system enforces 88 granular permissions across 15 categories.
