Sell Tickets/Update Ticket Prices

SeatFreak allows the user to sell tickets or update prices of their tickets currently on sale with ease. The Sell/Update buttons simply open up a modal, allowing the user to set/update the price of the ticket.

Search for Events, Performers, and Venues From Anywhere

SeatFreak uses PGSearch multisearch on the back-end to populate the search results. The Ruby gem allows to efficiently populate results from multiple tables using the provided search query.

On the front-end, SeatFreak uses a debounced input to optimize search performance. The input waits for a minimum of 3 characters to send a request to populate results. It also waits for 0.5s between keypresses, minimizing the number of database queries.

Tracker

SeatFreak uses Rails Polymorphic associations for tracking. It gives users the ability to track events, performers (artists and teams), and venues in a single table, resulting in DRYer code and less database tables.

Future Plans:

• Notifications
• JWT Authentication
• Venue Seat Maps
