4.1. About the TicketMonster Application
TicketMonster is an example web application demonstrating ticket purchasing.

The application consists of a user interface and web services. The user interface allows users to purchase tickets for listed events and it enables administrators to access and modify event and ticket information. The user interface is optimized for desktop and mobile clients. The web services enable access to information about members, events and venues stored in a database.
