Blockchain Ticketing APP (Front-end)

This repository represents the Front-end element to our project, while the Sinatra/Ruby Back-end "blockchain" repository can be found here.

A blockchain-based ticketing app that allows users to purchase concert tickets and stores the validated transactions on a blockchain network. Created as part of our final project for the Makers Academy bootcamp during August 2018.

The Front-end allows a user to enter their personal information and select a concert ticket they would like to go to. The concert ticket information is currently being provided by a third party API SongKick. When the user buys a ticket the purchase is recorded as an unverified transaction in our blockchain. This will then be verified on the back-end when it is 'mined'.

You can read our full project log here.

Initial MVP

  • Project setup (Trello, Github, Travis CI, Heroku, ESLinter)
  • A simple app that allows a user to see available concert tickets and make a purchase.
  • A 'dummy' blockchain built on Ruby that sends ticket transactions to a Postgres database.

Final product

  • Ticket app takes user information.
  • Connect to an API for concerts information.
  • Sends information as a JSON to the backend server.

Our final presentation on demo day can be found here

User stories purchaser

As a frequent concert goer,
So that I can see what concerts are available,

Learning Outcomes

  • As a team we got a good understanding on how blockchain works
  • We were introduced to the REACT framework
  • The project was built on good AGILE practices
  • GitHub collaboration as a team
  • Exposure to the full stack of this project

Future/Further Improvements

  • Payment page to allow users to pay for their tickets
  • Currently the prices of tickets are hard coded as the third party API does not provide this information
  • The
  • Given more time we would like to refactor and improve our REACT code structure
  • Build a ticket validation system for the venues to verify the tickets
