# Handball Ticketing Web Application

This is a web application for managing and booking tickets for handball matches. It features an admin panel for managing matches and seating, and a user-facing interface for browsing matches and purchasing tickets.

## Features

### Admin Panel

The admin panel allows administrators to manage matches, seating, and uploaded ticket files.

*   **Secure Access:** Protected by a password (can be set up on first access).
*   **Match Management:** Add new matches with details such as name, date, location, total seats, price (optional), and booking deadline.
*   **Seat Management:**
    *   Upload PDF files for each seat (e.g., containing seat maps or specific ticket details).
    *   Automatic extraction of seat direction (e.g., OUEST, SUD) and number from filenames in the format `DIRECTION_NUMBER.pdf`.
    *   Option to manually set or override the seat number during upload.
    *   View a list of existing matches.
