Challenge

Mood’s existing ticketing system was outdated and frustrating to use. Users struggled to filter events by preference, and the ticket purchasing flow was clunky and time-consuming. The virtual ticketing process was confusing, often leading to missed events. Additionally, the app design did not capture the energy or excitement of live music, leaving the experience disconnected from the brand.
