ETBS - Event Ticket Booking System

A modern, Java-based Event Ticket Booking System featuring a polymorphic domain model, CSV-based persistence, and a clean JavaFX graphical user interface.

Features

• Modern GUI: Clean and aesthetic user interface built with JavaFX.
• Polymorphic Events: Supports different event types including Movies, Tours, and Concerts using OOP inheritance.
• CSV Persistence: All data for events and bookings is stored in flat CSV files for easy portability.
• Seat Management: Real-time tracking of seat availability with automatic updates to the data store.
• OOP Principles: Demonstrates key concepts including Inheritance, Composition, Aggregation, and Encapsulation.

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 11 or higher.
• JavaFX SDK (expected at C:\javafx-sdk).

Project Structure

2. Run the GUI Application

To launch the modern graphical interface:

java --module-path "C:\javafx-sdk\lib" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml -cp out gui.BookingUI
