Imagine something like Ticketmaster or StubHub: the goal is to allow customers to book event tickets anytime, anywhere.
This Amazon VO question is a high-level system design prompt about building an online ticketing platform like Ticketmaster or StubHub. A strong answer should cover the main booking flow, including event browsing, inventory and seat allocation, concurrency control to prevent overselling, order state transitions, and ticket confirmation after payment. The emphasis is on architecture, scalability, data consistency, and handling high-traffic booking scenarios rather than on a specific algorithm.
