any safe way to sell and distribute event tickets

I have a client who wants to sell tickets online for his annual show.

I said we could set up a paypal account to handle the money, but that it
would be best to mail the tickets, or hold them at will call, but told
him I would look into it anyway.

It is easy enough to print a ticket, but as far as I can see validation
and duplication are a problem. Any thoughts on how to integrate a
payment transaction with a ticket delivery system that doesn't allow
someone to pay for 1 ticket and print 100?

The way Blockbuster Video does it is to put a unique barcode on
each coupon, which is then scanned at the store.

I'm trying to figure out how to safely use .NET events/delegates in a thread-safe class. There are a couple problems. One is that the standard "if(EventName != null) EventName(...);" call can fail if the event is emptied of all methods between the two statements, implying that some sort of synchronization between this and removals from EventName is needed. The other problem is that if an event with a set of delegates is in the process...

All, I believe I am having a threading problem. Class "BELights" is part of a larger DLL that is used by my main application. A user control (of type BESeat) within the main application raises an event and attempts to execute the "StartTiming" method of BELights. The method does not execute which leads me to believe that BELights is not thread-safe. (Or is it the user control that is not thread safe?) When an event fires for...

Hi, I have a question regarding the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and Source Safe. We have some common dlls which we would like to put in GAC so that they can be used in different applications.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs. The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols. I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
