Ticketing and e-commerce platform

An international dance festival needed to sell to dancers from many countries, check every guest in at the door and coordinate a large volunteer team. We built the platform that does all three.

The challenge

Dancers buy from abroad, in their own language, often in groups and at the last minute. Passes change hands. And on the day, dozens of volunteers need to know where to be and what to do.

Ticketing and e-commerce platform

01

Ticket shop

Passes and options in six languages, promo codes, card payments through Revolut and confirmation emails.

02

QR tickets and check-in

Each pass carries a QR code checked at the door, with transfers between dancers when plans change.

03

Merchandise

A merch shop alongside the tickets, in euros, for dancers who want to take the festival home.

04

Team applications

A public form for volunteers and team members, and a private dashboard to review and answer them.

05

Operations dashboard

Task boards for seven teams, volunteer shifts, the programme, run-of-shows and artist logistics, with a full history of changes.

06

Back office

Orders, customers and passes in one place for the festival team.

How it runs

Five small services, each with its own database, sit behind the storefront: catalogue, orders, tickets, email and payments. Every change is built, tested and deployed automatically, and can be rolled back in minutes.

What it changed

The festival sells, checks in and coordinates its teams on its own platform. Every lesson goes straight into the next version — and into what we build for clients.
