Introduction

Our group project title is Movie Ticketing System. This system is created to allow computer users to register and become a member of the cinema. Our membership is open to everyone who is interested to join as member. All Internet users will know what movie and when the movie is showing for the day. User can check what movie is coming out soon and book an early ticket for the movie.

With this movie ticketing system, members can check the availability and book tickets of a movie. Movies showing time is displayed on the website for all members and non-members to see. Members can select the movie and the show time that they want and make a reservation. The system will then reply the member with a reference number which is the member’s IC number once the booking has been confirmed.

By using this system, members who have registered need not waste their precise time of queuing up in front of the ticket counter. They can straight away go to the reservation counter and get their ticket after giving their reference number to the counter.
