Design and Development of an Online Movie Ticket Booking System Using MERN Stack Web Application

The Online Movie Ticket Booking System is a web-based application developed using the MERN stack technology, which includes MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. The main objective of this system is to provide an efficient and user-friendly platform for customers to book movie tickets online. Traditionally, movie ticket booking required physical presence at theatre counters, which often resulted in long queues, time consumption, and inconvenience. This web-based solution eliminates these challenges by allowing users to browse available movies, check show timings, select seats, and complete bookings digitally from any location. The system ensures secure user authentication, real-time seat availability updates, and online payment processing. All booking data is stored securely in a MongoDB database, ensuring reliability and transparency. The application enhances customer satisfaction and improves operational efficiency for theatre management by reducing manual errors and administrative workload.
