1.1 Introduction

Football Stadium is a centerpiece for the hosting of major events especially sport events such as football. It is one thing to have a stadium, and it’s another thing to manage it. Ticket acquisition is a vital aspect of stadium management. The system can also be considered to be a critical one, as the failure of it would result in significant financial loss for the company managing the stadium, and, in the case of the software failing, potentially thousands of angry fans stuck outside the ground, many of whom may decide not to return − against this would have implications for the managers of the stadium, and probably the software developers too. Therefore, the system must be created using well established principles of software engineering that guarantee a high degree of reliability. The main aim of this research is to create a reliable and easy to use system which will simplify the purchasing of tickets. A more efficient and modern entry system to the ground, which will reduce costs on a match-by- match basis and to provide a fairer system for distributing tickets while monitoring the seating capacity.

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
