Help me build a ticketing system

Hey! My idea is pretty straight forward but I need help implementing it. Willing to pay.

I am throwing a party and want to accept ADA in exchange for a ticket.

Here is the link to my party: https://thisiseverybody.live

I would like to set up an address that will automatically send out a ticket or image or code or any type of confirmation that the customer can use to show at the door of the show.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the community! I can introduce you to a couple of group that are working on something very similar.

Awesome! @QuasarChains – Please introduce me! I am hoping since a year has past that there has been much more in development.

Thanks!

I know a team that can definitely help with this, they’ve built some cool dev tools on Cardano. Let me know if interested :100:.

Hey @QuasarChains it has been 2 years and I have still not found anyone that is able to make a ticketing system. Can you find someone to help me with this?

This sounds pretty straight forward to build.
First create a native token for the ticket to the party.
Create a web page that allows people to swap ADA for the native token.
On the day of the event, get a list of all of the addresses that hold that token.
People attending the party would have to show the QR Code of their wallet address and the gate keeper would check if the wallet is on the list.
I wrote something similar to this: https://3dprinting.caringforcardano.com/

How do you prevent that I look on-chain who has a ticket and present a QR code of their wallet address at the gate?

Good question. One possible way is that the guest would have to show the QR code from their mobile wallet on their phone.

So? It’s their phone. They can manipulate however they like to show other peoples’ addresses.

You can make it secure by requiring a signature from them (which should also always be done when gating an online service by an NFT). But getting the UX right, ensuring that people have the right version of the right wallet app, managing the queues waiting until everyone has figured out how, … sounds a little nightmareish.

Yes, it would be a challenge to pair the wallet address with the individual.
So, I have an even simpler idea.
If I were to build this, I would just create a couple of web apps, an API to service the web apps. And a back end process to email the QR codes.
The first web app will connect the wallet and send the ADA amount at the same time collect the event name, time and email address. All of that information can be saved in a JSON payload and stored in a table. The back end process will check if the ADA is received and use the event name, time and email to create a unique string to create a QR code. That process will also email the QR code to the guest. The second web app can take the string from the QR code and call an endpoint that checks if the string is in a database. At the time of the even, the service will mark that record as entered. This way no one can use the same QR code to enter the event.

Thank you guys for chiming in here. I have already been in discussion with another developer to move forward on the idea.

It seems NFT format would be the best route to go here. I would love if either of you two had the time to look over this outline and highlight any potential risks or problems associated with the proposal.

ADA EVENTS PROPOSAL

What if one person buys the unique NFT and on the day of the event, uses the NFT to gain access. Once he is inside, what if he transfers the NFT to his buddy’s wallet and then his friends can gain access by showing the NFT in their wallet. In the approach I outlined, the QR code is in their email and the QR code will be checked and marked as entered once the entry web app enter is used to verify the ticket.

Yes that makes sense. We would definitely need some sort of web app of some sort for this. Good point thanks!
