Problems that NFT ticketing solves

NFT ticketing is on track to fully disrupt the ticketing industry because it solves so many problems that organizers currently face.

Lost revenue from resale and scalping

The secondary ticket market is a hot mess. Resellers can dramatically increase prices, and scalpers buy up to 40% of tickets online to resell.

NFT ticketing allows limiting of resale value, as well as fees and more control over secondary ticket sales. This opens the doors to an additional $15 billion dollar market for ticket sellers.

Lack of data on sales and exchanges

Event organizers face a massive lack of data and attribution when selling tickets, especially when they are resold.

NFT ticketing allows for all ticket transactions to be tracked on blockchain technology, making it much easier to identify when and where tickets are sold and who bought them.

Ticket fraud

Customers lack trust in the ticketing industry. Ticket fraud is a common scam for large events, roughly 12% of ticket sales are fraudulent.

NFT ticketing solves ticket fraud by having all transactions available on blockchain ledgers, making it impossible to sell fake tickets.

Ticket production

Physical and digital ticketing requires production and digital ticket creation which can often be a technological challenge. NFT ticketing is much faster and more efficient than traditional or even digital ticketing solutions.

Although NFT ticketing already faces problems with gas fees. Ticketers are looking for a stable, fast, and cost-effective chain. New technology like the GET, polygon and NEAR blockchains are solving these problems.

NFT ticketing to take over

There is no doubt that NFT ticketing is the future for ticketing companies. Innovators like these 5 companies are racing to tackle the problems of the ticketing industry. The adoption of NFT ticketing is already growing fast.

Mark Cuban is even working on bringing NFT ticketing to the NBA. The NFT ticketing industry is expected to disrupt the online event ticketing industry, which is expected to reach 60 billion by 2026.

Mark Cuban to bring NFT ticketing to the NBA

“We’re trying to find a good option for turning our tickets into NFTs. We want to be able to find ways so that, not only can our consumers, our fans, buy tickets and resell them, but we continue to make royalty money on them.”
