Dynamic content generation, database connectivity, and seamless integration with HTML and other web technologies are all possible. MySQL or another RDBMS (relational database management system): RDBMS is used to store event data, user information, ticket information, and other pertinent data.

HTML/CSS: HTML and CSS are used to structure and style the frontend user interface of a website.

JavaScript: JavaScript adds dynamic features such as event filtering, search functionality, and AJAX-based interactions to provide interactivity and enhance the user experience.

Bootstrap or another frontend framework: A frontend framework helps in creating responsive and visually appealing designs with pre-built components and styles.

User Registration and Authentication: Allow users to register, sign in, and manage their profiles. This allows for personalised interactions, ticket purchases, and event bookmarking.
