QuickShow – Movie Ticket Booking Platform

Overview

QuickShow is a full-stack MERN movie ticket booking application that provides a seamless experience for discovering movies, selecting seats, booking tickets, and making secure online payments. The platform enables users to explore the latest movies, watch trailers, choose show timings, and complete bookings through an intuitive and responsive interface.

By integrating real-time movie information, secure authentication, and Stripe payment processing, QuickShow delivers a modern cinema booking experience similar to commercial ticket booking platforms.

Problem Statement

Traditional movie ticket booking systems often involve multiple steps, poor user interfaces, and limited accessibility across devices. Managing user authentication, seat booking, and secure online payments efficiently can also be challenging.

QuickShow addresses these challenges by providing a centralized platform where users can browse movies, book tickets, and make secure online payments while administrators can manage movies, shows, and bookings through an organized backend.
