One booking engine pointed at whatever you actually sell. Real seat maps, standing zones, multi-stop routes, and a gate scanner that keeps working when the wifi does not.

What Ticket booking app actually is
Selling a seat is a different problem from selling a product: there is a fixed number of them, they exist only at one moment in time, and two people paying at the same instant must not both get seat 14. That is the engine here, and it is pointed at whichever of twelve segments you actually run — cinema, bus, train, flight, metro, ferry, concert, show, event, sports, park or something of your own. Switch on the ones you sell and the rest stay out of the way. People find this page looking for an app like BookMyShow, RedBus, District or IRCTC. The engine underneath is the same idea — a fixed number of places at a fixed time — pointed at whichever of those businesses you actually run.
Lay out your seats
Build a seat map as a form — rows, seats across, aisles and price bands — or sell standing zones by capacity where seats do not apply.
Put departures on sale
Set a timetable once and real departures are created ahead of time, so seats, bookings and the gate all have something real to point at.
What you get on day one
A seat can never sell twice
Two people paying at the same instant cannot both get the same seat. One is told immediately and nothing is charged to them.
A gate scanner that works offline
Staff pull the list at the start of a shift and scan without signal. A repeat scan says when the ticket was first used, and a ticket sold after the list was pulled is still checked properly.
Multi-stop routes
A route with several stops sells each leg independently, so someone travelling half the distance does not block the seat for the rest of it.
Operators get their own login
A bus operator whose departures you sell lists their own and sees their own earnings. You set their commission, recorded on every booking as it happens.
Occupancy you can act on
Which departures fill, which sit empty, and what an off-peak price would recover.
Ticket booking app: the usual way vs 10mins
Figures quoted for other companies are the publicly discussed ranges; ours are what we actually charge.
| The usual way | On 10mins | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission per ticket | A booking fee plus a platform cut, charged to your customer | 5% of what you keep after refunds, charged to you, not to them |
| Who sets the price | Constrained by the platform | You, per departure, per seat class, per zone |
| Cost to start | Rs 10-50 lakh for a custom build | Rs 0 |
| Time to launch | 6-18 months | About 10 minutes |
| Double bookings | A known risk on home-grown systems | A seat is claimed in one database operation, so two people paying at the same instant cannot both get it |
| Scanning at the gate | Needs a working connection | Works offline; a repeat scan reports when the ticket was first used |
Questions people ask
What kinds of tickets can I sell?
Twelve segments ship ready: cinema, bus, train, flight, metro, ferry, concert, show, event, sports, park and a custom segment for anything else with a fixed number of seats at a fixed time. You switch on the ones you run, and you can run more than one.
Can two people book the same seat?
No. A seat is claimed in a single database operation, so there is no window between checking and booking. If two people pay at the same instant, one of them gets the seat and the other is told immediately without being charged.
Does the gate scanner need internet?
No. Staff pull the ticket list at the start of a shift and scan without a signal for the rest of it. Scans are recorded on the device and reconciled later, a repeat scan reports when the ticket was first used, and a ticket sold after the list was pulled is verified against the server rather than being wrongly refused.
What does it cost?
Nothing to launch. 10mins bills 5% of what you actually keep — bookings less any refunds — invoiced periodically. Customers pay you through your own payment gateway, so 10mins never holds ticket money.
Can I sell tickets for operators who are not me?
Yes. Each operator gets their own login, lists their own departures, and sees their own earnings and statements. You set their commission and it is recorded onto every booking as it happens, so changing a rate later never rewrites what they were already owed.
What if I sell standing entry rather than numbered seats?
Standing zones are sold by capacity rather than by seat, so a park, a ground or a general-admission concert works the same way. You can mix zones and numbered seats in one venue.
Can I build a ticket booking app like BookMyShow or RedBus?
Yes, and the same engine covers both, because a cinema seat and a bus seat are the same problem. You get real seat maps, standing zones, multi-stop routes for buses and trains, QR tickets and an offline gate scanner. You set the prices, customers pay through your own gateway, and 10mins bills 5% of what you keep after refunds.
Can I use it for a movie ticket booking app and a bus booking app at once?
Yes. Twelve segments ship ready — cinema, bus, train, flight, metro, ferry, concert, show, event, sports, park and custom — and you can run more than one. Each keeps its own inventory, prices and gate.
