Development update March ‘20
From Product Owner Frans Twisk.
NOTE: This segment was originally featured in the March ’20 update blog.
The product team has been working completely remote this last sprint and we are happy to have kept the same level of productiveness! We are also taking the necessary actions to learn and improve our teamwork remotely, which of course is a bit different than working closely together at our awesome office, which we all are starting to miss.
We have delivered over 40 big and small features, improvements and bug-fixes: from creating brandable apps for the Korean getTicket partner to improving the attendee-details page in our organisers’ dashboard. But more exciting for you readers: we have created the first version of the new Resale Market where anyone can browse and buy tickets that people have put up for sale!
While this first version is actually ready to be used in a production environment, we are currently not yet doing so. We will slowly roll-out the resale market for specific events, and the old way of reselling tickets through the primary market will still work for all events.
As you can see in the screenshot, the resale market looks very familiar but there are a couple of things different compared to the primary market. Tickets are grouped by the type of ticket, and upon selecting the ticket you are looking for, you can see everyone who has one or more tickets of this type for sale. This list is ordered by date (and soon: price) so people who put their tickets up for sale first, will be higher in the list.
The buying flow has more or less stayed the same: you put the tickets you want to buy in your cart and pay for them! It is possible to buy multiple tickets from multiple people at the same time, so you can buy the exact amount you are looking for in one go. There really isn’t more to say about this: it just works.
Of course this is only the first phase of the Resale Market epic. There are two noteworthy add-ons that will be added in the near feature: the ability to set your own price for tickets you want to resell (with some honest rules of course) and a way to share the tickets you are selling directly with a friend or family member.
