Where they started

While stage plays and live events in Ghana continue to attract growing audiences, many organizers face challenges in providing a modern and reliable digital experience. Eddytales encountered these hurdles before building the Rock of Ages ticketing platform:

- Lack of an engaging online platform to showcase the event and drive early interest. - No streamlined system for audiences to purchase tickets digitally with secure payments. - Difficulty tracking ticket sales and validating entries without a centralized dashboard. - Technical limitations in generating professional, branded digital tickets with QR codes when the site went live.

What we did

To overcome these challenges, we developed a modern ticketing and event platform tailored specifically for Eddytales and the Rock of Ages stage play. Built with Next.js and a serverless API, the solution combined user-friendly design with robust backend features:

- A captivating landing page to showcase Rock of Ages and build anticipation for the event. - Integrated Paystack for secure, seamless ticket purchases by both local and international audiences. - An admin dashboard to monitor ticket sales, manage audience data, and track event performance in real time. - Firebase authentication to secure user accounts and simplify access management. - Automated ticket delivery via SendGrid — each purchase generated a unique QR code sent directly to the buyer’s email. - An in-app scanner to validate tickets at the event, ensuring fast, secure entry.
