AutOK Ticket Format Specification

Each Ticket contains exactly 18 digits.

Digits 01-02: Ticket_Purpose: A 1 byte value that specifies purpose. The 2 kinds of purposes that are defined are: 00=Song Ticket, 01=User ID Ticket. (This could be a 32-bit value, but we are making it a byte because purposes are going to be real limited, and may very likely dependent on venue, which is a 32-bit value already anyway)

Digits 03-10: Venue_ID : A 32-bit (4 byte) value that is unique for any given venue. This Venue_ID must match the value that is entered in the Venue UID field in the AutoKDJ Karaoke Preferences Dialog box.
(7 Bamboo vs anywhere else. Venues are encouraged to pick a sufficiently random number to avoid duplicates wiht other venues)

Digits 11-18: Ticket_ID : A 32-bit (4 byte) value that is unique for any given ticket in that venue and purpose.
(32 bit is chosen to avoid running out of valid values, considering thousands of customers over years)

Given the above, a complete valid song ticket might look like this:
00123456789ABCDEF1

Similarly, a complete valid user ticket might look like this:
011234567800000555

Note that each 4-byte value will amount to 8 characters that need to be read from the barcode reader and transmitted to the server. The ticket purpose is another 2 characters, for a total of 18 characters, plus header information.

An HTTP Post for a single ticket will therefore look like the following:

http://{server}/karaoke.txt?query=?TICKET_VENUEID=123456768
_TICKETPURP=12_TICKETID=123456768
