Secure and Transparent Ticketing is Achievable In Different Ways
The ticketing industry is always seeking new and innovative ways to grow revenue and increase customer satisfaction. While blockchain technology has the potential to resolve many pressing issues currently plaguing the event industry, there are other solutions equally capable of making transparent ticketing a reality.
Digital ticketing offers a faster way to create traceable and transferable tickets. It also enhances security, ensures ticket validity and provides more control over the secondary market.
How Digital Improves Ticketing
Ticketing protocol today is mainly seen as the structure of ticketing records. With a digital system, you can exchange customers’ data and track tickets beyond that of a given provider, giving you a critical ability to manage the marketplace.
With digital tickets, knowledge truly is power. In providing the whole history of ticket transactions, event managers can identify ticket buyers, view all previous transactions, and see if a ticket has been resold and at what price. This reduces fraud and operational costs.
Governments worldwide are scrutinizing the secondary ticket market. Digital tickets are the answer. Issuing digital tickets regulates the ticket reselling process, sets the proper price for tickets, and places limits for resale. It also helps tighten control of scalpers.
Digital ticketing technology gives almost instantaneous identity verification to help ensure you know who your real attendees are. Which means event organizers will know exactly who’s attending, while collecting invaluable data analytics for future marketing purposes.
With digital tickets—blockchain or otherwise—you’ll know when tickets were sold, if and to whom they were resold to, at what price, etc. You can verify and track a ticket’s origin, giving you a basis for dispute resolution and compliance.
Historically, the secondary market consisted of street traders who bought tickets for cheap outside a venue and resold them at a higher price to last-minute ticket buyers. Today, online ticket selling platforms dominate the market.
