Event Ticket Booking System with Multi-Tier Quotas & Scheduled Releases

Phased ticket pricing is one of the most effective psychological drivers in event marketing. By offering a strictly limited 'Early Bird' allocation at a 25% discount, organizers create genuine urgency that motivates attendees to purchase weeks before the event rather than delaying until the final 48 hours.

Traditional ticketing portals require organizers to manually watch sales counters and update prices late at night when tiers sell out. URPASS automates the entire lifecycle: you configure the Early Bird tier with a maximum quota of 50 tickets and a deadline date. Whichever condition is met first, the system automatically marks Early Bird as 'Sold Out' and activates the General tier instantly with zero downtime.

When an event with limited capacity launches ticket sales, dozens of buyers often reach the final payment step at the exact same moment. In poorly engineered ticketing systems that use optimistic concurrency, the database checks available seats before payment begins, finds 2 seats available, and allows 5 buyers to complete payment simultaneously—resulting in 3 angry attendees who must be refunded.

URPASS utilizes database row locks to place an atomic 10-minute hold on the requested seats the moment checkout begins. While the hold is active, other buyers see those seats as 'Reserved'. If the buyer completes payment, the seats are permanently allocated; if the session times out, the seats release back to the available pool automatically.
