Services · Mobile app development · Ticket booking apps
We offer ticket booking app development Los Angeles theaters, amphitheaters, museums, studios and independent promoters can own outright. Reserved seats, timed entry, parking and transit add-ons, mobile tickets and gate scanning run in one app under your brand, with prices that meet California's all-in rule from the first screen and buyer data that stays with you rather than a marketplace.
In a region this spread out, a ticket is only half the plan. Guests also want to know where to park, when to leave and which gate to use. A good app answers those questions before they become a complaint on the way in. That is why we treat directions, parking and arrival times as part of the product, not an afterthought on the confirmation email.

What the app can include
Los Angeles audiences are mostly local or regional, and many of them will drive across the county to reach you. That changes what a ticket app needs to do. Arrival times, parking, shuttle stops and Metro connections matter alongside the seat itself. Museums and studio tours sell timed slots, not rows. Outdoor venues run summer seasons with subscription packages. And every buyer in California is protected by a drip pricing law and by the CCPA, so the checkout and privacy settings must be right before launch. The features below are the ones Los Angeles operators ask for most. We choose with you in discovery which belong in the first release and which can follow once you see how buyers use the app.
Half hour or hourly slots with capacity set per gallery, tour or attraction, plus member reservations and free ticket slots for venues that charge nothing but still need to control numbers. Guests can move a slot when traffic on the 405 makes them late. Members can book ahead of the public, and your front desk can add walk-in guests to any slot that still has room.
Steady arrivals instead of a crush at opening time.
Prepaid parking, shuttle seats and ride share drop off instructions sold with the ticket or added afterwards. Each add-on gets its own scannable code at the lot entrance, and directions point guests to the right garage or Metro stop for their gate. Accessible parking can be reserved in the same flow.
Fewer guests circling the venue looking for a space.
Under SB 478 the displayed price must include every mandatory fee, with only government taxes and shipping excluded. The federal live event fees rule adds its own prominence requirements. Our price engine builds the total once and uses it everywhere: listings, maps, carts and receipts.
One honest total from first view to final payment.
Choose your own series, fixed subscriptions and summer packages for outdoor venues, with renewal windows, seat retention for returning patrons and payment plans where your processor allows them. Patrons see their current seats first at renewal time and can request an upgrade before the general public gets access.
Repeat buyers renew in the app instead of by phone.
Accurate maps for proscenium theaters, boxes and terraces at amphitheaters, and general admission floors at clubs. Accessible and companion seats are marked clearly and sold with the same options as other seats. Holds for artists, press and sponsors are managed by staff and released back to sale on a schedule you set.
Guests know exactly what they bought.
Many Angelenos prefer Spanish. We build both languages into listings, checkout, receipts, push messages and the scanning app, so staff and guests can switch without losing their place in the order. Date formats, address fields and support messages follow each language properly rather than being machine translated at the last minute.
A wider audience can buy without help.
Tickets in the app and in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, refreshed codes that defeat screenshots, and transfers to friends with a tap. Transfers are logged so the venue knows who is actually coming. If a show is moved or cancelled, every ticket holder gets a push message and an email with their options at once.
Shared tickets without fake ones.
Queues for big onsales, per buyer limits, device checks and tools to find your tickets listed elsewhere before they exist. California's AB 1349 targets speculative tickets and software that defeats purchase limits, and the federal BOTS Act covers the same ground nationally.
Real fans get through the queue first.
Scanner apps for each gate, offline validation, re-entry rules for outdoor venues and a live map of entry rates so supervisors can move staff to the busiest gate. Scan data shows when the bulk of your audience arrives, which helps you set door times and staff schedules for the next date.
Lines that move, even at a big outdoor show.
Sales by date, zone, channel, language and ZIP code, add-on revenue, member usage and scan rates. Exports go to your accounting, CRM and email tools. Dashboards can be split by venue so each stage manager sees only their own numbers.
Decisions based on who actually bought and arrived.
Who this is for
Event ticket booking app development in Los Angeles makes the most sense for operators who sell often enough that marketplace fees and lost customer data add up. Below are four starting points we see. Operators looking for ticket booking app developers in Los Angeles often ask whether a remote team can handle a venue it has not walked through. We work from your floor plans, photos and video walkthroughs. Codeeo is a remote team that works with Los Angeles clients by video call, so discovery sessions, design reviews and test runs are all held online.
Free or paid, you need to manage how many people are in the building each hour. The first release covers slots, member reservations, group bookings for schools and a simple scanner for the front desk. Later releases add special exhibition tickets, audio guide sales and donation prompts at checkout. Group bookings for schools and tour operators get their own request flow, with a staff approval step and invoices that a district finance office can actually process.
Free tickets still need capacity controls.
Your season sells as subscriptions in spring and single tickets through the summer, and parking and shuttles shape the guest experience. The app handles packages, picnic boxes, parking passes and many gates at once. We test the scanner setup outdoors, in evening light, with real staff. Weather updates and gate changes go out by push message on the day. Season holders can swap dates within the season from their phone.
Plan the parking add-on with your lot operator early.
You run many smaller shows a month and lose margin to marketplace fees. A focused app with a calendar, a simple map or general admission, wallet tickets and a door scanner can replace that marketplace for most of your shows, while keeping a fan list you can email directly. Promoters who rent your room can get a limited login to watch their own show's sales without seeing anything else.
Tourists from across the country and overseas buy dated tickets weeks ahead and want changes to be easy. The app handles date changes, upgrades, hotel pickup add-ons and multilingual confirmation messages, and it keeps a clean record of each change for your support team. Partner hotels and tour desks can sell through tracked links, so you can see which channel actually brings guests through the turnstile.
How we work together
Most operators start with a fixed scope first release for one venue or one product, such as timed entry, and then continue on a monthly retainer. Larger organizations with several stages or a touring arm may take a dedicated team. What drives cost is the number of venues and layouts, the systems we connect to, how many languages you need and how much onsale traffic the app has to absorb. Each option comes with a written scope, demos by video call at agreed points, and access to the code repository from the start.
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
Online ticketing app development in Los Angeles rests on a few practical choices: cross platform or native apps, a backend that scales for onsale peaks, a payment processor that handles wallets, and an admin your staff can run without engineering help. Push messages, analytics and crash reporting are configured from the first build, so you can see how the app behaves on a busy night.

Every displayed price must already include mandatory fees.
Since July 2024, California's Honest Pricing Law has made it unlawful to advertise or display a price that leaves out mandatory fees, other than government taxes and certain shipping costs. For a ticket app, that means the number on the listing, the seat map and the cart must be the same total. We design the price engine around this rule and review the flows with your counsel. Optional extras that a guest chooses, such as a parking pass or a souvenir, can be priced separately.
