I am prototyping a ticket booking system and just wanted to ask a few
questions.

1 - What is the standard way of temporarily reserving a number of
tickets throughout the purchasing process (to stop other people
reserving those seats or whatever).

2 - What do you do to release these 'seats' if someone closes their
browser? Is it just a cron job set for every 20 mins?

I am sure I have seen a solution to this before but can't find it now.

Regards,

Rick
