The Movie Ticket Booking System is a graphical user interface (GUI) application designed to facilitate the booking of tickets for events occurring on specified future dates. This system consists of two main components: a server application and a client application, allowing for efficient management and purchase of tickets.

• Future Events: Configure events to take place on a specific date in the future.
• Multiple Showtimes: Set up various showtimes within a single day (e.g., 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM, 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM).

• Seating Arrangement: Configure the layout of the venue, including the number of zones or stages, rows, and seats per row.
• Dynamic Pricing: Set different ticket prices based on the designated zones.

• Internal Data Management: Operate without a database by utilizing internal data storage for managing event and booking information.

• Admin Controls: Allows administrators to configure events, seating arrangements, and ticket prices.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Provides a view of seat availability (occupied or vacant).
• Multi-Client Support: Facilitates simultaneous connections from multiple client applications for ticket booking.

• User Connectivity: Connects to the server to retrieve and display available events and their showtimes.
• Seating Layout Display: Shows the seating arrangement and indicates the status of each seat (occupied or available).
• Ticket Booking: Enables users to book tickets for available seats, storing essential customer information (name, phone number, seat selection).
