Abstract— This paper examines the booking requirements of theatres, as well as the type of information required by their managers, and incorporates some of the desirable features within. A database has been designed to cater for a 99 seats theatre with a maximum of two performances per day. In order to keep costs to a minimum it makes use of a PC which is practically standard office equipment. The purpose of this research is to create a location-aware service for internet users. This service is called Theatre Booking System which allows users to search for movies in a given range from their current position, or reserve/purchase tickets. Users can pay for tickets using credit cards saved in a secure wallet embedded into the application, or e-money received as refund for the cancelled tickets.Internet is used as a network carrier for all client-server requests. PHP, MYSQL, HTML and JAVA-SCRIPT are chosen as implementation technologies.
