Feature Request: Live Ticket Auction #88

Closed diya-kishore closed 1 week ago

diya-kishore commented 2 weeks ago

Feature Request: Live Ticket Auction Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated when I can't find last-minute tickets at reasonable prices, especially when events are nearing sell-out. Additionally, many ticket sellers struggle to sell their tickets close to the event date, leading to wasted opportunities for both sellers and buyers.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to implement a Live Ticket Auction feature that allows users to bid on unsold or last-minute tickets in real-time. This feature would enable sellers to list tickets with a starting bid price, and buyers could participate in the auction, placing bids until the auction ends. This creates a dynamic pricing environment where buyers can potentially get tickets at a lower price while giving sellers a chance to sell tickets that might otherwise go unsold.

Describe alternatives you've considered I have considered implementing a traditional "Buy Now" feature for last-minute tickets, where sellers can set a fixed price for immediate purchase. However, this doesn't create the same excitement and urgency as an auction system. Another alternative was a "last-minute deals" section, but it wouldn't engage users as actively as a bidding process would.

Additional context The auction could include features such as:

A countdown timer to create urgency. Real-time updates on the current highest bid. Notifications sent to users via WhatsApp when they are outbid or when the auction is about to end. The option for sellers to set a "Buy Now" price for those who prefer to avoid bidding. This feature would not only enhance user engagement but also provide a unique selling point for our platform, addressing the challenges faced by both ticket sellers and buyers.
