1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to newly designed website cinema ticket booking is a faster,
cleaner and a tad more personal website, specially designed to make
your booking experience better. Log on, navigate and find out for
yourselves and if time permits leave your valuable feedback. Customers
may view the contents of any movie show at any time and may book
any movie ticket as needed. The program automatically calculates the
subtotal and grand total. When a visitor decides to finally book the
ticket, the order information including the buyer's name, address and
billing instruction is stored in the database securely and payment has
been made. The combo booking is also provided at the time of booking
the ticket and there’s a wonderful facility of delivering the combos at
your seat when you are watching the movie. You need to register a new
user whenever you have first visited or site then for future it will be
stored in our database permanently and you can book you movie ticket
at any time you want with this username and password.

used in the following application:
o A request for booking/cancellation of tickets from any source to any
theatre or show.
o Calculation fares and calculating appropriate
o Reward points for these who booked the tickets.

3. SYSTEM FEATURES

DESCRIPTION AND PRIORITY

The Online movie ticketing maintains information on theatres, classes of
seats, shows, prices and bookings.
Of course this project has high priority because it is very difficult to
book tickets across India without theatres.

▪ STIMULUS/RESPONSE SEQUENCES

▪ Search for movies in the city.

▪ Displays a detailed list of available movies and make a

“Reservation” or Book a ticket on a particular movie.

▪ Cancel an existing movie.

▪ FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

▪ DISTRIBUTED DATA BASE:

Distributed database implies that a single application should

be able to operate transparently on data that is spread across a variety of
different databases and connected by a communication network as
shown in below figure.

▪ CLIENT/SERVER SYSTEM

A client/server system is a distributed system in which

(a) Some sites are client sites and others are serer sites.
(b) All data resides at the server sites.
(c) All applications execute at the client sites.The term client/server
refers primarily to an architecture, or logical division of responsibilities,
the client is the application (also known as the front-end), and the server
is the DBMS (also known as the back-end).

4. EXTERNAL INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS

4.1 USER INTERFACES
▪ Front-end software: Vb.net version
▪ Back-end software: SQL+
4.2 HARDWARE INTERFACES
▪ Windows XP.
▪ Browser which supports CGI, HTML & Java script.

4.3 SOFTWARE INTERFACES

Software used Description

We have chosen Windows XP operating system

Operating system for its best support.

To save the PVR records, Passengers records

Database we have chosen SQL+ database.

To implement the project we have chosen

Vb.Net language for its more interactive

VB.Net support.
4.4 COMMUNICATION INTERFACES:
This project supports all types of web browsers.
We are using simple electronic forms for the reservation forms, ticket
booking etc.

5. OTHER NONFUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
The steps involved to perform the implementation of airline data base are as listed
below.

1)E-R DIAGRAM

E-R Diagram constitute a technique for representing the logical structure

of a database in a pictorial manner. This analysis is then used to organize
data as a relation, normalizing relation and finally obtaining a relation
database.
ENTITIES: Which specify distinct real-world items in an application.

PROPERTIES / ATTRIBUTES: Which specify properties of an entity and

relationships.

RELATIONSHIPS: Which connect entities and represent meaningful

dependencies between them.
B) NORMALIZATION:
The basic objective of normalization is to be reduce redundancy which
means that information is to be stored only once. Storing information
several times leads to wastage of storage space and increase in the total
size of the data stored.
If a Database is not properly designed it can give rise to modification
anomalies. Modification anomalies arise when data is added to, changed
or deleted from a database table. Similarly, in traditional databases as
well as improperly designed relational databases, data redundancy can
be a problem. These can be eliminated by normalizing a database.
Normalization is the process of breaking down a table into smaller
tables. So that each table deals with a single theme. There are three
different kinds of modifications of anomalies and formulated the first,
second and third normal forms (3NF) is considered sufficient for most
practical purposes. It should be considered only after a thorough analysis
and complete understanding of its implications.

5.2 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

If there is extensive damage to a wide portion of the database due to
catastrophic failure, such as a disk crash, the recovery method restores a
past copy of the database that was backed up to archival storage
(typically tape) and reconstructs a more current state by reapplying or
redoing the operations of committed transactions from the backed up
log, up to the time of failure.

5.3 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

Security systems need database storage just like many other

applications. However, the special requirements of the security market
mean that vendors must choose their database partner carefully.
5.4 SOFTWARE QUALITY ATTRIBUTES

▪ AVAILABILITY: The movies should be available on the specified

date and specified time as many customers are doing advance
reservations.
▪ CORRECTNESS: The movies should start from correct time and
should complete at correct time.
▪ MAINTAINABILITY: The administrators and movie in chargers
should maintain correct schedules of movies.
▪ USABILITY: The movie schedules should satisfy maximum number
of customer needs.

6.Testing

➢ Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and

represent the ultimate review of specification, design, coding.
 ➢ The purpose of product testing is to verify and validate the various
work products viz. units, integrated unit, final product to ensure
that they meet their requirements.
“In E-ticket System for Cinema Halls we used Black Box Testing”

VALIDATIONS

➢ No record can be saved till all the necessary entries are done.
➢ Only administrator can perform sophisticated tasks like printing of
Reports, register new member and/or delete an existing member
etc.
➢ For security purposes the E-mail of user is required in case he/she
forgets his/her password and wants to retrieve that.
System Security Measures

➢ Security prompting the user for a user id and password in our

application is a potential security threat. So credential
information is transferred from the browser to server are
encrypted.
➢ Cookies are an easy and useful way to keep user-specific
information available. However, because cookies are sent to
the browser's computer, they are vulnerable to spoofing or
other malicious use. So we follow these guidelines:
 Do not store any critical information in cookies. For example, do
not store a user's password in a cookie, even temporarily.

➢ Avoid permanent cookies if possible. Consider encrypting

information in cookies. Set expiration dates on cookies to the
shortest practical time we can.

7.FLOW CHART
8.Future scope and further enhancement of the
Project

Future Scope

➢ The project E-ticket System for Cinema Hall is flexible enough to

meet the requirements of the Customers. This project also has the
scope of enhancements like:

1- Home delivery of tickets may be provided.

2 -Online Booking of Purchases of eatables (cool drinks, popcorn etc.)

can be provided.

3-Corporate booking: Multimedia support for corporate

presentation can be provided. Conference facility can be provided for
corporate meetings in the hall. This will increase the profit of cinema
halls as well as the company organizing event.

4 Group booking: Any institute/company can book the tickets for

students/clients and special discount will be provided to them

End User Support

➢ The proposed system is developed in ASP.NET and SQL Server.

➢ If organization increases users, it just has to add more machines
and install the software on it, which is in the form of exe.
Security

➢ Security features are implemented. No unauthorized access the

package, as the security is implemented through login and
password.
