Concert Ticket Challenge

we cant see the comments section, crowwwn plz updated the UI

Thanks for the feedback. These feedbacks are actually helping me learn. I can see the improvement in my designs! Coming to the design, I mentioned verified after the name of the seller to give a clear assurance to the user that the sellers are real. Also, the sellers are the organisers who are given a fixed number of tickets to sell around the city at different locations physically. This was my approach. And yes, thanks for pointing out the inconsistency in the buttons and labels. I'm working on it. Thankyou.

Hey Chanchal, I am happy to hear that you enjoyed this challenge! As far as the experience goes, I think you have made a design that's clear and easy to read through. I like that you have added social proof to confirm other people are attending the festival. I wonder if you could connect that to a social account so people could see if any of their friends were going. I have two questions about the verified sellers. First, how does someone become verified? Second, are all sellers verified? If so, you can remove that tag by each name since people should trust that your app has vetted each seller. Visually you have done a great job using color with the dark mode to draw people's eyes and lead them through each screen. I would consider keeping your styles more consistent with buttons and labels. A single corner radius is typically used to show buttons vs. a toggle or filter. Great work, I hope these suggestions help. Thanks for participating!

Visually pleasing very aesthetic

Hey Mohamed, thanks for participating! I like that your solution has a two-step validation flow. Rating sellers allows users to quickly know who to purchase from and scanning to authenticate the ticket makes sure that the seller isn't cheating the system. The only problem I can see is that people can scan real tickets and then send tickets that aren't authentic after they get the money, just something to think about preventing to keep pushing this design. Visually, my main concern with the design is whether or not it's accessible. You have a lot of really small text that has light grey backgrounds. I would use a color contrast checker to make sure that it passes. I like the simplicity of the app and how intuitive it is to use. I would look at other designers you like to see what colors they are using for primary buttons when using dark mode. I hope these suggestions help, thanks for participating!

Hi Kailash, thanks for submitting! Your solution to this week's challenge is great, I am just curious how someone would become an authorized reseller. I like that this app would facilitate and come up with a list of other places I could buy tickets but I would want to know how you have validated the other sellers so I don't lose my money. Looking at each screen the flow makes a lot of sense and I understand what to do on each page. You say in your description there is a way to compare the original price vs. the reseller price but I don't see a way to do that with the given screens. Visually I enjoy the design. I think that using a colored background can often disrupt the flow and make text hard to read but you have done a great job making the colors simple and keeping the right contrast with the text. Lastly, I will say that I wouldn't know what the second icon in your navigation meant without clicking it. If this is where my tickets live, a more obvious ticket icon might help improve that. I hope these suggestions help, thanks again for participating!

Hey Alesya, thanks for participating in this week's challenge. It's great to see more work from you! The first thing I would suggest is that when you are sharing work that is focused on the experience that you should keep the screens straight. While it looks awesome visually, it makes it difficult to read and understand the flow. I like your solution of having a way to scan tickets within the app to make sure they are real before getting to the concert. That adds a lot of legitimacy to the tickets being sold on the app and would make me feel confident buying on there. Visually I like the use of gradients in your design because it helps create a focus on the header and helps people understand where they are landing. I would suggest adding more padding on the left and right side of the screen, the pages have a lot of information and more white space would make the whole design easier to digest. While I think it's cool that you added the gradient on the bottom of your screen to show the simplified design lines, this is something that I would like to see in a presentation, but it doesn't necessarily help users understand the flow or how the app works. I hope these suggestions help, thanks again for participating!

amazing

Thank you very much for your constructive feedback! :)

Hello Alexandra, thank you for participating in this week's challenge! Your solution of taking personal information from sellers to hold them accountable is really smart. I would consider adding more information under that field to let users know that the information will be stored securely and not used for other things. When personal information is stored anywhere security is the number one concern for both you and the users. The rest of your design seems very straightforward and easy to navigate through. Visually I think that you could reduce some of the noise to help users stay focused on what is important. While I love the background of the login page, I think using that same background for the rest of the screens is just a distraction. I would suggest trying a simple white or grey to keep the focus on the content. The next thing I notice is an inconsistency in colors for buttons. While the buy and sell can be different colors since you want them to stand out, I would use a single color to upload, create a listing, and add to the cart. Lastly, I would just look at the text you have to make sure it has enough contrast to be read by all users. The grey text with a blue background makes it hard to read. I hope these suggestions help, thanks for participating!

Hello Selen! Thanks for sharing your work. Looking at the experience you have designed I think it's a unique take on verifying tickets. While I think asking users to confirm the tickets worked before giving the seller their money would work, I would consider the problems that could come if people didn't come back into the app to confirm or reported a ticket to be fake if it wasn't. Visually you have done a great job setting the hierarchy of the page and giving enough white space. What I would suggest is adding more images to your work. With the events, you could add a hero image to each one to help people get excited about the event and understand what is about without having to click or read about it. The red dots you have put in the background make some of the text hard to read since there isn't much contrast. I would also look at making the cards a single color instead of a gradient. It could increase contrast and make the design seem more modern. Lastly, I would left-align the labels you are using for the date, time, seat, etc. on the first screen. Keeping everything left-aligned makes the cards easier to read through. I am glad you have learned a lot working on this project and I hope some of my suggestions will help. Thanks again for participating!

Hi Anjan, thanks for participating in this week's challenge. I like that your solution of having verified sellers helps users feel confident in the things they are buying. I would consider what it means to be verified and what you would have to do to make the work properly. The second screen has a list of events but there is no title for it under the search bar so I am not 100% confident that I know how those results are sorted. It's also not clear to me if I can buy tickets directly on LastTicket or if I can only buy tickets through verified sellers. If you want to increase the revenue you'll probably want to sell your tickets. Another thing I would think about is giving more information about the concerts. You should include a description and possibly link out to songs from the artist so people can learn about them. Visually I would suggest making the text that is on an orange background always semi-bold or bold. Or use a dark text color to make sure the contrast is high and it's easy to read. I would also consider removing some of the oranges and only using them for primary actions on a page. While the search bar may be used a lot, it's in the spot that most people expect it to be in so you could get away with making it grey. I like the contrast of the green against the orange it highlights information well. Hopefully, these suggestions help, thanks again for participating!

Sorry for the late reply Durgesh. As of right now we only have a way to submit once for feedback. Multiple versions is something we would love to develop in the future though!

Very thankful for the suggestions. I will make the necessary changes.So do I have to post another one or can I just update this one ?

Hey Durgesh, thanks for participating in this week's challenge! Your designs are very clean and easy to understand. I would have like to see more screens around uploading and verifying the tickets. While I think this is a great way to address authenticity I wonder if there are parts of the standard ticket that could be scanned or authenticated. If that's the case, people could upload images of their tickets and get an almost immediate response around whether or not the tickets were valid. On your second screen, I am wondering if that's the overview of the concert and if it is why there isn't a description of when, where, and who is performing. That might just be the screen to buy tickets but there is nothing in the navigation to help me understand what I am looking at. Visually I like the way you have used images to add color to a very simple color palette. Your use of black to call out important details and light grey as a secondary is done well. You have also allowed for enough white space to help make the screens digestible and make for a clear hierarchy. My only concern is the accessibility of some of the text. The grey on grey makes the text hard to read, I would make it darker to increase contrast. I hope these suggestions help, thanks for participating!

Great job! Really clean design. My only concern is that some with visual impairment might not be able to find the CTA buttons. If that could be improved, it'll provide better accessibility

Hello Bhumika, thanks for participating in this week's challenge! Looking at your solution to the problem it looks like your app would include a list of other sellers that have been verified (I am assuming because of the checkmark by their names). I think this is a great solution to the problem, but I would like the ability to learn more about how those people have been verified. I like that you have considered the fans and made a page that has an overview of the performer. I would consider new fans that want to go to a concert but don't know the performer. You could add links to their music so people can listen to their music and make sure it's something they are interested in. I do wish you would have used a primary color to call more attention to buttons. With everything being black, white, and grey nothing is calling my attention which makes flowing through the app a little more difficult. Visually I love the way you have used the image and the bottom of the screen to add information, it's visually appealing and draws me in. I would consider changing the way you have styled the "Other Sellers" section. The way the gradient fades into the background makes it look like the text isn't centered on the card. It looks like you have had an alignment error. If you made those a solid light grey that problem would go away. Lastly, I would consider adding more space between lines of text and each section of information. The middle screen looks like you have put as much information as possible so it's hard to digest, more space would make it easier to use even if it added more scrolling. I hope these suggestions help, thanks for participating!

Thank you so much for providing me detailed feedback ! I will definitely work on the points you've mentioned and continue improving.

Looks amazing

Hey P, I am excited that you found our challenge and decided to participate! I like the unique way you have solved this problem by tracking each ticket and making sure that when it's sold the information is connected to the buyer so they can be confident in their purchase. One thing I would consider with this approach is that you will have to make sure that venues and other ticket issuers accept the way you're doing this and will follow the same path to verify. Some of the screens you have designed are a bit hard to follow because they aren't following standard patterns. For example on the screen with the "Resale listing" page I would assume that the location that has a border around it was a button since it looks like a standard button. A better way to add importance to that location information would be to make it larger, bolder, or use a different color to highlight it. When you first approach a design challenge I recommend getting 3-6 images of other designs you can use for inspiration. Use these images to understand how to make components such as buttons, cards, navigation consistent with the patterns users are used to seeing. This will help you a lot by helping you find visual trends as well as inspiration for you to start exploring new things. Visually I would work on creating a better hierarchy by using bigger text for each section and using cards to divide and break up information. Lastly, look into using a consistent alignment in the design and using white space to help break up areas of focus. Overall this is a great design for just getting started. I hope my suggestions help you to keep pushing this design further and improve on future submissions. Thanks for participating!

Hello Yennhi, thank you for participating and submitting your work! Looking at your screens it seems like the way people can try to authenticate the tickets they are buying is through a chat system with the sellers and a star rating. While I think this is a great first step in solving the problem, I would consider adding more ways for the users to authenticate the tickets people are selling so new sellers can prove they are authentic to everyone using the app. When presenting your work I would suggest that you display your screens in the order that the users would use the app. For example, I would move the far right screen, your home screen, to the far left so people understand where they would start. Visually I would consider pulling inspiration from other designers before you get started on your work. This way you can look at that inspiration to understand each component in the design. Things I would consider looking at are the size of each of your items and the information needed for each screen. For example, the order confirmation screen has a large music icon, but I think it might be more helpful to have the events name instead of the icon to help people understand what they are buying. I like that you have used a consistent color palette throughout your design and that you have used green and red to call attention to the important buttons. I would consider the contrast of your text when you use a blue or grey background. With text that is light or small, it can be difficult to read on a colored background. Overall I think it's a great start and I hope these suggestions will help you continue to push the design. Thanks again for participating!

Hey, Thank you for your valuable feedback. For “showing the sold out" suggestion, I had also thought of the same initially but I found a concern in doing that. Let's say the user sees that the show is sold out, the chances of him clicking on the card to further know that people are selling their tickets would be too low, as they would more likely drop off/ not click on the card after seeing that the event they want to book is now sold out.
Further to show both the things ie, ‘The show is sold out’ & ‘there are people who are willing to sell their tickets’ on the same card, I felt that it might be overwhelming & load for the users.

Also Thank you for the visual feedback regarding the contrast of the text within mint color. I will definitely keep that in mind.


Hey

Hi Samarth, thank you for participating in this week's challenge. Each screen within your design makes sense and seems usable. I would suggest letting people know that an event is sold out before they click into it. I would also suggest changing the design of the sold-out warning to something that looks less like an error. Looking at the design I feel like I did something wrong as a user, but it's just information. It looks like you have a booking ID, a key, and a place to scan to verify ticket authenticity so I think you have done a great job creating an experience where I would feel confident buying a ticket from a third party. I would consider how that scales with all the different events and getting unique tickets that they would accept. Visually I like that you have produced a design that has a lot of information but non of the screens make me feel overwhelmed. The main visual feedback I have is changing the sold-out warning to look less like an error. I would also consider the contrast of the text inside the green/mint color you are using. It might just be small in the exported image but it's a bit difficult to read. I hope these suggestions help, thanks again for participating!

Hi Shraddha, thank you for participating in this week's challenge! Looking at your solution to this problem I like that you have made a way for users to compare different sellers and that they can chat back and forth to help make sure tickets are authentic. I would suggest thinking of more ways to authenticate users whether it's a rating system people can look at, a way to authenticate the tickets they have, or taking personal information from them to make sure they sell fairly. The experience you have created for the interface is usable. I would consider adding some way to search different locations and highlight events that are local so people that want to travel and those who want to stay local have a way to search for events. Visually I feel a bit of a disconnect from screen to screen. The initial screen has a blurred background of an image with slight orange and blue details which you have carried through, but I wouldn't expect the second screen to be blue then the third to be white again. I would make all of the backgrounds white and use blue and orange as colors to highlight specific actions. Lastly, I would double-check the contrast on the lightest grey text in the design. While it looks good, some users won't be able to see or read it. I hope these suggestions help, thanks for participating!

Hi @crowwwn !! As always, thank you very much for your exceptional advice and feedback! I made some additional screens to make my concept even clearer, and I published a more polished design presentation to my portfolio, which you can see here - https://www.behance.net/gallery/120144859/TicketTrade-Mobile-App . Thanks again and all the best! :)

Hey Maria, thanks for participating in this week's challenge! It's great that you have been able to build out so many screens for this challenge. The way you have solved the problem is great. I like that you have both a validation system as well as a community rating to make users feel like they can trust sellers. I do wonder what you would require of sellers to get validated, maybe that's something you can think about if you continue building out this project. Looking at the experience of the rest of the app I would love to see pre-filtered sub-sections on the home page. I would also like to confirm that these concerts are happening in my area so I don't get excited for nothing. Visually you have done a great job putting a lot of information on each screen in a way that I can digest and break up mentally. You have a clear hierarchy with page-level titles and subtitles for each section. My only concern is about how light the text has gotten in places like the "Messages" screen. That subtext seems like it might not pass a contrast test. Overall, great work! I hope my suggestions help, thanks for participating!

Thank you for feedback & suggestion @crowwwn. I will look into it.

Hey Abhishek, thank you for submitting your first design! You have done a great job creating an app that people can use to find concerts and buy/sell tickets. While I like how clear it is to change from buying to selling tickets, I wonder how often users are switching between the two roles. I would suggest doing more research to see if people do that often, or if that toggle could be somewhere else with less visibility (possibly in the details of each concert). As far as solving the challenge, I think there are still unanswered questions about how people authenticate their tickets by contacting the seller. I would push you to find a way to authenticate the tickets within the app so users feel they can trust the things they are seeing and don't have to work for it. Visually I would suggest making titles larger so there is a more clear hierarchy. While you have used pink to draw attention to the top menu, the page title should be large or bold to show importance. I would also consider making the sections with a grey background a white card instead. The grey makes things hard to see, and I am seeing too much of the pattern from the background which distracts me from the information. I hope these suggestions help! Thanks for participating!

Yes @samarth. You are right. When the user clicks on "Yes, Got it." the pop up will go down and next screen will pop up as shown in 4th screen.

Hi @crowwwn, agreed on all solution except for the padding. Padding the 20px from both side left and right but for this submission I imported them JPEG and reduced in size and thats why it looks like less padding on both side. Thanks for feedback anyway.

Hey, Great work. Just curious to know that where should I click to get to the last screen, because as per my understanding by clicking on "okay got it" in the 3rd screen the bottom sheet would close.

Hey Kunal, thanks for sharing your work again. The way you have broken down the mocks helps us understand what you're trying to do. Your solution of having other verified vendors sell tickets when your app is sold out is a great way to get people tickets in a way they can trust. I wonder if you could combine the two buttons on the second screen to just be a single button that says something like "Sold out, buy from our partners". I think this could help add focus. I would also consider adding a tag or text next to the title telling people that the concert is sold out before they even click into it. This helps the users understand the state of the event without having to click into each event separately. Visually I would consider reducing the amount of text in the title on your first screen. If you changed it to just "Discover events daily" you could make the text larger so it stands out more. I might also move the different types of events down and make the "Near by events" the first thing on the list. Lastly, I think you could have added a bit more padding on the left and right side of the screens as well as between each section. There is a lot of content in a small space, more white space would help break it up, even more, making it easier to use. I hope these suggestions help, thanks for participating!

Hi Patel, thanks for participating in this week's challenge! The first thing I would consider is adding a description to the designs you upload. While it's not required, we read through each submission to try and better understand what the designer is trying to do. Looking at your design it looks like your solution to the problem is allowing users to contact the person selling the tickets to learn more about them. While this is one level of verification I would consider that people could still be tricked into buying a fake ticket if the seller knew how to trick them. It would be awesome if you included a way to scan or verify the authenticity of the tickets so the buyer was completely confident in their purchase. Visually the first thing I would consider is increasing the blur on your drop shadows and increasing the opacity. With a dark shadow like you have done it calls a lot of attention to each of the interactable components and takes away from the hierarchy you're trying to build on the page. I would include a header in your screens so you have a place to put the back arrow and the page title. Users might forget which screen they are on so giving them a page title or breadcrumb helps them position themselves. Lastly, I would increase the size of the subtext in each of your screens. Within the chat window, you want the text to very legible and easy to read, with small text on a colored background some people will have a really hard time reading it. I hope these suggestions help, thanks again for participating!
