Why NFTs will replace tickets in the next decade!
By Nick Rizzoli
How many people buy a T-shirt or a wrist band to flex to their friends that they were at Coachella or EDC for the weekend? In today’s digital world what better way to remember an epic event than your unique digital avatar. Here are 3 reasons why NFTs will be the final nail in the coffin for conventional ticket sales and why projects like Hype Disco are leading the industry.
- Security – We have all heard countless stories of people buying fake tickets from a back ally scalper or “Greg” from craigslist. The security offered by these unique digital codes is unmatched and in case you didn’t know NFT cannot be duplicated.
- Cost effectiveness- NFTs are very cheap to create, as the industry advances there are more and more programs coming out to aid vendors in producing them. The open platforms and ability to host your own marketplace also eliminates the need for costly third parties like Ticket Master and Eventbrite.
- Perpetual Revenue- The digital tokens are very versatile, and creators have the ability to encrypt rules around merchandise, royalties and resale which opens huge doors for creators to receive perpetual wealth. Imagine if Ultra Music Festival created a rule that they wanted 2% of any resold tickets, how would they ever police it without an NFT?
All these reasons will defiantly provide a driving force for the industry standard to switch. Think I am wrong?
