The Post-Fest Support Avalanche
During the week following a major college fest, the organizing committee's email inbox and social media handles become unusable: "I accidentally deleted my ticket confirmation email, can you resend it?" "My certificate link isn't opening, please email it to my alternate ID!" "I need my participation proof for my university attendance waiver!"*
Answering hundreds of individual support queries burns dozens of hours of student volunteer time.

1. The /find-ticket Self-Service Portal
To eliminate repetitive manual support requests, Spark by Clstr provides a dedicated public self-service recovery surface:
https://spark.clstr.in/find-ticketHow It Works:
1. The student navigates to /find-ticket.
2. They input their Registered Email Address or Unique Ticket Code (TCK-XXXXXXXX).
3. Spark queries the hardened database procedure find_tickets.
4. The screen instantly displays all associated event passes, verified check-in statuses, and direct Download Certificate buttons.

2. Anti-Scraping Privacy Protections
In early event platforms, search portals often allowed scraping attendee databases by entering partial names (e.g., searching "Rahul" returned 40 phone numbers).
In Spark (20261105000500_harden_find_tickets.sql):
Exact Matching Only: Searches require an exact, normalized email address or exact ticket code.
Rate-Limiting: IP-based throttling blocks automated scrapers.
Masked Display*: Sensitive contact details (phone numbers and home addresses) are strictly excluded from the unauthenticated payload.
Attendees get instant access to their credentials, and organizers get complete freedom from repetitive support inquiries.
