A poor pun I’ll admit. The Captcha system I use on some of my sites is a simple freeware third party script – long term I want to write my own, improved version.

Someone give me a nudge sometime and remind me to do it!

The BMTG website now has an on-line ticket ordering system.

As it’s early days to see how much income it produces, I’ve gone for the easy option – a one way interface with PayPal, who are also providing simple cart facilities.

The ticket screen has been updated and a new MySQL back-end database has been introduced. The ticket screen now automatically produces ticket details, with PayPal links, for multiple shows. It will even remove a performance after the date has passed.

Longer term, if it all takes off, I might implement my own system where you can pick seats from a map, and we can control ticket availability. But that’s to come. Potentially.

Meantime I continue to “have discussions” with the committee over how much they charge customers for buying on-line.
