Ticketing that held through a sell-out in four minutes

The previous platform crashed twice on launch day. We rebuilt ticketing with a queue and offline check-in.

The challenge

Every release, thousands of buyers arrived in the same sixty seconds. The old system degraded, buyers refreshed, and the load doubled.

What we did

  1. 1Introduced a fair virtual waiting room with position feedback
  2. 2Moved inventory reservation into a single atomic operation
  3. 3Cached everything above the fold at the edge
  4. 4Built QR check-in that works without a connection and syncs later
  5. 5Load tested at 3x the largest historical launch
