Also looked at using blockchain to combat ticket touting in 2017 but commercial case wasn't there. https://blog.bigchaindb.com/disrupting-the-ticketing-industry-recap-of-the-bigchaindb-and-coras-hackfest-58b39500814

For background have been building ticketing software companies since 2006. Now building a web3 loyalty search engine with tickets the first product. An artist like James Blake might be able to do something as they're taking back control of their rights. https://variety.com/2025/music/news/james-blake-how-musicians-can-take-control-of-their-careers-1236313613/

Sure but the issue here is rights. An artist can be given 10% allocation of tickets as part of the pre-sale but those tickets have be sold through the ticketing partner of the promoter or venue. Also record companies sign 360 deals where artists have to share all the income they earn including merch and tickets.

Not sure how big that market would be. There will always be superfans that will buy whatever the artist puts out but artists will also be cautious not to rip off fanbase that takes years to build. Real value for fans is pre-sale access but that has been taken over by scalpers.

Would it be possible to automate wallet creation based on an action e.g a purchase? At the moment the customer has to activate their wallet before tokens being sent to it. We’re building a web3 loyalty search engine and would make onboarding much slicker. Thanks

B12 injections calmed down my digestive system issues but it has different impact for different people. The sublingual B12 tablets are fine but for me didn't make much of a difference. B12 defficiency can be hereditary also.
