Let\u2019s start first with the user side.<\/span><\/p><br><\/br><h5>FEATURES FOR USERS<\/h5><br><\/br><h3><b>User Registration<\/b><b> and Login Screen<\/b><\/h3><br><\/br><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">User registration and login screen are the basic features of the ticket booking platform. Generally, the user gets two options on registration or login page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>I. Create a platform-specific account <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The user provides the necessary details such as email address or phone number and creates a password for the platform. Once done he has to enter the created credential to log in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>II. Register with social accounts <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Here users can sign up using their existing social accounts such as Gmail or Facebook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4585 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techuz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Sign_in-and-Sign_up.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techuz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Sign_in-and-Sign_up.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.techuz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Sign_in-and-Sign_up-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techuz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Sign_in-and-Sign_up-282x260.jpg 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>(Login and registration page &#8211; Fandango)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Apart from these two, you can also provide an additional option to use your platform without registration or login.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this option, there is no need for registration and the user can purchase tickets as a guest through guest checkout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><br><\/br><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although this option is not mandatory to have, adding it on the platform has its own benefits. As per a report by <a href=\"https:\/\/baymard.com\/lists\/cart-abandonment-rate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Baymard Institute<\/a>, 34% of the user abandon at the checkout because they don\u2019t want to create an account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, if you want to motivate the user to signup for the process, you can add rewards programs for the registered users along with the guest checkout. This way your platform would serve to both types of users who just want to make a purchase without registering and the frequent users who would like to register and earn rewards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><br><\/br><br><\/br><h3><b>Location Selection<\/b><\/h3><br><\/br><p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform must identify the user&#8217;s location to provide the information about the venues, movie shows and timings in their vicinity.

However, it\u2019s not just the features but also the revenue model that you need to consider for your platform. Popular ticket booking platforms follow the two common revenue models. They are commission on tickets and advertisements on the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2><br><\/br><h2><b>Revenue Model<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>Commission on tickets &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform charges a certain amount of commission on the ticket booking either from the consumer or theaters or even both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Advertisements and promotions &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with the commission, you can also earn revenue by displaying advertisements on the platform.
