The Pomegranate

Question: Describe about make booking and technical specifications of three distinct systems. Answer: A detailed case entitled make booking The actor which is been identified in the above entitled make booking, is referring as tickets of The Playhouse Theatre. Without having tickets no one can enter in any theatre around the world (Mazer 479-481, 2011). The playhouse theatre has two auditoria- 1. The stearne and 2. The pomegranate. the ticket booking system of these two auditoria are same but their activities are different. tickets are collected from the auditorium doors and counted to provide the informations. The current ticket booking system is paper-based and very antiquated. Tickets may be purchased from the Theatre Box Office, during business or performance hours (Paterson, 2013). This involves either face-to-face transactions, or telephone sales. The Playhouse management also allocates some tickets which to be returned to the theatre two days before the relevant performance. The current system only involves card tickets - so tickets purchased by phone must be collected physically from the box office. Tickets may be returned up to twenty-four hours before a performance, with a sliding scale of refunds. The theatre has the principle that disabled people should not have to pay more for special services, but there are availability restrictions. wheelchairs are available. in the stearne auditoria there are restricted 4 seats and in the pomegranate there are restricted 3 seats. apart from these there are few more section of people who dont need the tickets of playhouse. the persons are bab ies, playhouse members, students, elderly, children, and some sponsors. The achievement of the theatre is proud of probation of people with handicaps. 15% of the UK population is registered as disabled. the theatre has wheelchair facility in both the auditoria allocating few seats for the handicapped people. One problem with booking the four Sterne seats is that it involves physically removing the seat, the seat behind it, and that seat's in-aisle neighbor, - so each such booking removes three seats from the auditorium. Theatre policy is to keep these seats available until two weeks before a performance, and then let them go - so disabled people would probably not be able to book after that. Of course, many wheelchair users can use ordinary seats; but such seats are restricted to being at the end of rows and there is currently no system in force to reserve them in any way (Shimko and Freeman, 2012). The success of the scenario is the process that how the theatre sell their tickets. the buying processes of the theatre are by the cash or credit from the box office, agencies. in the pomegranate auditoria there are some process on the performance basis ("Book Reviews" 118-126, 2006). There are also have some returning and selling tickets within 24 hours of purchasing, before a performance. Technical specifications of three distinct systems They achieve a numbers of audience who can entertain themselves by just booking a ticket. they have few discounts of several sections of people. for the disable ones they have a particular facilities to entertain them. they have very simple way of booking their tickets. they have separate programmes for the two separate auditoria. they have their own process of cancelling the tickets and recalling them (Mure). The pre condition systems of booking a ticket were- by the cash or credit from the box office, agencies. in the pomegranate auditoria there are some process on the performance basis (Das, 2010). The people have to stand all day long just to book their tickets or they have to call up which was very expensive. there were no online system of booking the tickets. the people have to book the tickets by their own. It is so hard to be sure about the booking system status at present that tickets which could be sold often remain untaken and double-bookings often occur. Ancillary information on tickets is hard to make out and confusing at the same time. A web based booking system would be ideal. However the categories of discounts available are so complicated that this would be something of a challenge! The theatre management accept that the discount system has to be clarified. Reconciliation of agency returns with ticket sales is done by paper and hand and is a nightmare. Data on past sales and performances is urgently needed. The essential functions of this process is need to be well organized. so for that reasons these following functions need to be done. 1.An easy to use human interface for staff with minimal training (many of the staff are(temporary or voluntary). 2.On-line HELP facilities. Access control by username and password. Secure automatic daily back-up. 5.It is desirable that the system should port to other platforms (so that the Playhouse can sell it on). 6.The system should automate ticket production and remove most of the burden relating to issuing tickets just before performance.
