You’ve been there. You log on the second tickets go on sale. You wait in the queue. You refresh. You do everything right. And then they’re gone. Minutes later, the same seats are back online for five times the price. That’s the moment people feel it. Not just frustration, but something deeper. Like the system […]
This is one of the very few practical use cases for NFTs. You could embed a maximum price, and the cost of maintaining the record would not be an issue if you scrapped it after the show or tour was complete.
How could you enforce a maximum price? People will just negotiate and pay outside of the system.
NFTs include a ledger that would track what was paid for them. While it would be possible for individuals to collect separate payments, that would be difficult to scale, and the issue with scalping is much more with companies like stubhub than one off sellers.
Currently yes, but before everything was online there was a ticket market for cash through stores and individuals, or a guy at the venue lineup. So same thing was possible…but a ticket for $50, sell it for $200 in the lineup. NFT will not solve a cash payment
That’s a super neat concept! You don’t even that to change the acronym: non-fungable tickets.
