Ticketing on the blockchain: The End of Scalping

Description:

We want to offer stage to discuss the future of ticketing as we are on the brink of a complete new understanding of tickets. Instead of a barcode printed on a piece of paper, modern tickets are digital and registered on the blockchain. This not only prevents money ending up in the wrong pockets through scalping or ticket fraud, but also provides full control over ticket sales. More and more accurate data is generated, allowing for directer relationships between artists and fans. This panel will focus on how the ticketing industry will look like in the upcoming years. Years of "cutting out the middleman" and empowering artists and fans with the help of technology.
