First of all write all your Requirements(Screen Design,Architecture,Security,Database) in a Word file and after that try to Design the Database then you can proceed.

I'll give you some suggestion.

Data models

Cinema bookings[^]
Ticket Master[^]

Business Rules

Cinema Bookings[^]
Ticket Master[^]

Sample project Documentation
Online Cinema Ticket Booking System[^]

Suggestions regarding project(Based on that sample site which you have mentioned in your question)

  • For those banners on top, you can use flash or javascript
  • I think, AJAX is used for those dropdownlists selection(Movie, Theater, No of Seats)
  • You can use Datalist control for those horizontal banner thing(which is below to the banner)
  • For Now on & Coming Soon, you can use the same Datalist control dynamically bind the data from database.
  • You can use GIF images or flash for those right side banners.
  • In the bottom right you are seeing share button, you can find the code for that in Google easily.
  • In register page, Captcha is used for human verification. Also you can find that in Google easily.
  • Use validations for all process.
  • Careful with seat allocation process, you must handle the many cases(like many persons trying to book a same seat.)
  • Log details(Date time, IP details, etc.,) of login users
  • Also you need to integrate payment gateway with application, you can find those in CP & Google.


Sample links for the site UI things
How to Make Datalist Items Automatically Adjustable like div using JQuery and CSS[^]
Drag and Drop Products to the Shopping Basket Using JavaScript[^]
Slide-Show User Control[^]
Creating Shopping Cart UI using JQuery in an Hour[^]

A CAPTCHA Server Control for ASP.NET[^]

Good links - I like the databaseanswers.org site, hadn't seen all the models they have available!

Me too, it's a good site. BTW thanks.
You've already started by vocalizing the desire to do something that's already been done.

If you have an example, copy it.
