Improvement: ticket reservation #51

Closed renedekat closed 7 years ago

renedekat commented 7 years ago

First of all: Great work.

Secondly, as an improvement I think it would be nice if the front-end made a call to reserve tickets, the moment you select a quantity. Before providing any payment details. Once reserved, it should inform the user that the tickets are reserved for the next X minutes.

Currently the user is only informed of insufficient availability after payment details are provided.

This will require a CRON job that cleans up reservations constantly as well.

Thanks! I think your idea is a good one but I left that out intentionally, just because we'd never finish this course if we tried to take things to Ticketmaster-level sophistication.
