About the Company

Eventbook is one of the ticketing industry’s leading booking platforms. It offers a full range of services to event promoters. Multi-day concerts, festivals and album release tours are among the events that use Eventbook. Concert and show promoters can use the platform to sell tickets, rent or buy equipment, and even hire extra personnel for events.

For users, it’s an easy way to buy tickets, and it is highly respected in the events industry. It represents events hosted by the country’s most prestigious film festivals, independent movie premieres, concert venues, museums and book promoters. A fully functional app would help bring all these events and people together.

Client Brief & Challenges

The client wanted a concert ticket app that would provide a better buying experience for users of the Eventbook platform. The company’s current app is the primary way ticket buyers interact with events. An enhanced, updated ticketing app would offer more to account holders and help position the client as a strategic partner to key industry figures.

The app had to deliver high-end benefits to users, offer the most advanced booking features, provide a range of exclusive features, and handle complicated ticketing requests. It had to do all this while being intuitive and easy to use.

The client’s existing event ticketing app worked well at giving users a smooth ticket buying experience. However, certain functions were lacking, and there were definite areas for improvement.

For instance, there was no way for customers to avoid double booking. This was a common occurrence at movie festivals, where buyers would accidentally buy tickets for two movies showing at the same time but in different venues.

The client also wanted better ways to let customers know about new events, order tickets from a mobile platform, and receive targeted alerts based on the customer’s interests.

Design Workflow

We began our design process by creating the architectural and engineering framework. We then moved into the process of designing custom features, enhancing the UI and UX, and vastly expanding the app’s capabilities. As in all our custom web applications, we focused heavily on expanded UX/UI design.

Information Architecture and Visual Hierarchy

Information architecture is key to creating an app that becomes a trusted resource. It’s an innovative way to build websites and apps using site maps, content maps and page schematics. It emphasizes usability with designs and layouts based on user preferences.

For instance, people enjoy clicking on apps and websites, and a well-designed app gives users many chances to interact this way. People also appreciate the chance to double-check their information, and the app gives them several chances to confirm order and payment information.

Our design used visual hierarchy to create an app that would keep users engaged. Using principles of visual harmony and balanced elements, we created an app that ticket buyers enjoy looking at and interacting with. A beautiful design also reflects the app’s association with artistic and cultural events.

General Functions

We enhanced the platform with the following fully functional elements:

  • Blog and website integration.
  • Multiple language options.
  • Updated IOS and Android versions.
  • A tutorial for new users.
