This month Majestic completed a series of upgrades to the See Tickets website including the installation of advanced network devices also used by leading organisations including easyJet, BMW and MSN.

See Tickets, the largest UK-owned ticket vendor, were seeking to improve the performance of their online ticketing system which was first developed by Majestic in 1999/2000 and has been maintained under our managed hosting service for the past 7 years. In the highly competitive online ticketing sector, See Tickets know that customer experience is vital - and with site visitor numbers capable of peaking in their millions for some high profile events, system performance is critical.

To help provide the best possible results for See Tickets site users, Majestic worked in partnership with F5 to install the hardware devices into the See hosted ticketing system. These industry-proven devices provide a traffic management solution which allows us to filter site traffic according to network conditions, data centre conditions and other pre-determined rules in order to ensure the highest possible site availability to the highest possible number of users.

The system can be also be scaled to accommodate future business needs by adding different software modules to extend the power and functionality of the devices without the need for any additional hardware. Security will also be improved using SSL acceleration capabilities - handling bulk encryption, high traffic volumes and releasing processing power to complete other system functions.

“The system improvements implemented by Majestic and F5 will make a significant and positive impact to our business” says Rob Wilmshurst, Chief Operating Officer of See Tickets. “The new solution will provide us with improved performance, security and functionality enabling us to meet our business needs for quality and speed of service both now and in the future.”
