How To Convert A Popular Open Source Shopping Cart For Seat Booking Software
January 19, 2009 by JoelC2009
If you are familiar with open source php shopping carts, perhaps you are a webmaster or designer and you know someone who could benefit for having a seat reservation website for their special event this could be an affordable solution.
I have adapted open source php shopping carts like osCommerce and Freeway to present products as seats in a grid style that are then available to purchase through the process of a typical shopping cart right from ‘add to cart’ to the completed sale and then present the seat in such a way as to show purchased seats as reserved in a specially presented seat plan of your theatre.
Most webmasters and developers are familiar with shopping cart installation and are pretty adapt at adding and making contributions that will customise the mechanism to suit their needs. Now I have a complete ‘How To’ guide to make a simple theatre seat plan become a functional visual seat reservation system that works like dream.
Usually the tried and tested way to sell tickets for your show is through a booking agent using a flat database which is a straight list of seat numbers available referenced from a chart of your theatre seat plan. Why not try to bring your seat plan alive by making each seat clickable from the plan on your website and when a seat is reserved disconnect it from the cart and identify all seats reserved as a totally different color. You get thepicture and you’ve seen it already in the hands of professional organisations selling tickets for shows across the web. If you want such a system for your special event I’m sure it will cost you an arm and a leg to own yourself.
I will take the webmaster through a step by step procedure that will show you how build your very own theatre seat reservation system that can be used again and again. Simply by adapting a core php shopping cart that uses the same principles that so many merchants use for their shopping cart stores all across the internet. All for just a fraction of the cost that a professional design studio would charge.
If you have a special event planned and you want your visitors to reserve or purchase their own seats visually this could be the tool for you.

First Ave's former booking agent works for JAM productions, which is a Clear-Channel sponsored promoter. McCellan didn't want to pay the booking agent more than what the industry charges, so he walked. The guy went to work for the Quest and FIne Line.
It wasn't so much a lack of forward-thinking, but a refusal to bow down to an inappropriate proposal.
A literary agent doesn't actually work that much on promoting an author's work. They sell it to publishers and handle the more financial side of things: rights, royalties, etc. To do this, they use their connections within the publishing industry to target the book to the appropriate editors, i.e., those they know or suspect would be interested in that particular book. Then when they find someone interested in publishing the book, they negotiate the contract, advance, royalties, which rights the author will retain, etc.
You're thinking about a publicist. Many publishing companies have publicists, who work to get their assigned books out into the public eye. Sometimes they arrange interviews on TV or radio, set up book signings or tours, and that kind of thing. They also talk up the book in the book world, work on getting reviews from prestigious book review sources, etc.
The publisher's sales & marketing team will arrange advertisements, direct mail marketing, and the like.
Of course, the author is intimately involved in all of this, often doing much of his or her own publicity (unless they're a big name) or hiring a publicist themselves.
How you become an agent/publicist/marketing manager depends on which one you're really asking about.
