Services · Mobile app development · Ticket booking apps
Codeeo offers ticket booking app development in Jeddah for promoters, clubs, festival organisers and waterfront attraction owners who want their own sales channel. The app sells grandstand passes, match seats, screening tickets and timed experiences, issues each ticket as a secure QR code in the buyer's phone, and gives your stewards a scanner that keeps working when the crowd overwhelms the mobile network.
Jeddah draws buyers from two directions at once: residents who book close to the date, and visitors who land at King Abdulaziz International Airport or arrive by Haramain train with tickets bought weeks earlier from abroad. A good ticketing app serves both without forcing either through the other's process.

What the app can include
Jeddah ticket sales follow the calendar of the city: a Formula 1 weekend on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, football at King Abdullah Sports City, film screenings in Al Balad, concerts and seasonal events along the waterfront. Each has a different product to sell. A race weekend sells multi day grandstand passes and hospitality, a match sells assigned seats with fans kept apart, a festival sells screenings by the hall and the hour.
Online ticketing app development for Jeddah therefore starts with an honest list of what you sell and to whom. A buyer in Cairo or London booking a race weekend needs English, a foreign card and clear entry rules well before the trip. A family in Al Rawdah booking a boat trip for tonight needs a two minute checkout in Arabic. The features below can be combined for either, and we help you decide what belongs in the first version, and which can wait until real sales data shows they are needed.
Single day, two day and full weekend passes sold side by side, with the right days activated on each pass and upgrades from general admission to a grandstand when seats remain. The app shows which days each pass covers and which gate to use on each day.
Race and festival weekends sell as one product, not three.
Seat maps for football grounds that keep home and visiting supporters in their own sections, with allocations for each club, member presales and purchase limits per account on high demand fixtures between the city's big clubs.
Allocations are respected at the point of sale.
For film festivals and cultural programmes, buyers choose a screening, pick a seat in that hall and add more screenings to the same basket. Industry pass holders can reserve against their pass instead of paying again.
Festival audiences build a full programme in one checkout.
English and Arabic throughout, international Visa and Mastercard acceptance alongside mada and Apple Pay, prices shown clearly in riyals, and confirmation emails that include entry rules, ID requirements and arrival advice for visitors who have never been to the venue. Buyers arriving through King Abdulaziz International Airport can also add parking or shuttle passes where you offer them.
Visitors buy months ahead without emailing support.
Time slot booking for Corniche attractions, yacht trips and Red Sea experiences, with capacity per departure, weather cancellation rules and automatic rebooking offers when a trip is called off because of wind or sea conditions.
Cancelled departures turn into rebookings, not refund disputes.
Premium packages often need physical passes, wristbands or lanyards. The app tells each guest where and when to collect, records the collection with a scan, and lets a company host assign packages to named guests.
Premium guests know exactly where to go on arrival.
Tickets display a rotating code that a copied image cannot reproduce, stored on the phone so it still opens in the car park or on the walk from the station when data is weak.
Forgeries fail and genuine buyers still get in.
Owners can pass a ticket to a friend inside the app within limits you set. If demand is high you can switch on official resale at face value, so buyers who cannot attend have a legal route that keeps tickets out of unofficial markets.
Unwanted tickets go back on sale through you.
A scanner app for each entrance that confirms the ticket, the day and the zone, refuses a pass on the wrong day, and shares entries between gates so one code cannot be used at two entrances.
Wrong day and duplicate entries are stopped at the gate.
Live revenue by event, day and channel, overseas versus local sales, refunds pending and payouts due to partners, exported in formats your finance team already uses for VAT and ZATCA e-invoicing.
Finance closes each event without rebuilding the numbers.
Who this is for
Jeddah has fewer permanent arenas than the capital but a dense calendar of large one off events and a constant flow of visitors. The question is usually whether you need a platform you use every week or a channel that carries a few very large sales each year. The situations below show how we scope each. In every case we check what your current platform charges and what data it lets you keep, because that comparison usually decides whether your own app is worth building now or after another season.
One weekend a year can carry most of your revenue, which means the app must be flawless for a short window and quiet the rest of the time. We focus on presale codes, pass types, overseas checkout and gate scanning, and we host it so capacity grows for the on sale and shrinks afterwards to keep running costs sensible. Between editions, the same app can run a waitlist and early registration for next year, so interest is captured while the last event is still fresh.
Built for one huge peak, cheap to run between peaks.
Clubs need match tickets every week of the season, season passes with renewals, and member windows before general sale. We add supporter segregation for away fans and gate scanning built for the final rush before kick off, and we keep the club's own membership records connected so loyal fans get first access.
Festivals sell many small sessions across several halls over a few days. The app must let buyers plan a schedule, swap screenings, and hold seats for guests and press. Accessible routes through the historic district and venue maps that work on foot matter as much as checkout. Press and guest allocations are released back to general sale automatically if they are not claimed by a set time.
Boat trips, beach clubs and Corniche attractions sell timed entry daily, often on the same day. The app needs fast mobile checkout, weather rules, and a staff view of today's manifest per departure. We keep the first release small so the operation can run it from day one. Hotel concierges and tour desks can be given partner accounts that book on behalf of guests.
Same day sales need a two minute checkout.
How we work together
Annual event promoters often choose a fixed scope build ahead of their on sale, followed by a support retainer that covers each year's event setup. Clubs and attractions that sell every week usually prefer a retainer for steady improvements. Discovery, design reviews and acceptance testing all run by video call, and on launch nights our engineers monitor sales and scanning remotely alongside your operations room. Scope, dates and responsibilities are agreed in writing before work starts, and anything added later is priced and scheduled separately so the on sale date is never put at risk.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Cloud hosting that scales for a short, intense peak, a seat and pass inventory service that never double sells, buyer apps for iOS and Android, a web checkout for visitors, and a scanner app that runs on standard handheld devices.

03Marketing and tracking
A buyer app, a web checkout, a scanner app and an admin dashboard.
The buyer side handles browsing, seat or slot selection, payment and the QR ticket. The staff side covers event setup, pricing, holds, refunds and gate scanning. For Jeddah we usually add overseas checkout and multi day passes in the first release, because so many sales come from visitors planning a trip around one weekend. Promoters with a single big weekend often also want a waitlist, so that returned or released tickets go to people who missed the first sale rather than to whoever refreshes fastest.
