🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Dutch Artist Group GoldBand Sells 15,000+ Tickets For Their Show EXCLUSIVELY On The Blockchain Within 48 Hours
Is this the start of the new #RWA adoption of tokenized assets in the form of ticketing, a $86B industry?
A 🧵
Football unites us.
Long after the stadium lights fade and the roar of the crowd becomes a distant echo, we remain bonded by moments etched into in the collective memory of all who witnessed the spectacle.
Yet, in this digital age, we've lost a tangible connection to these experiences. Gone are the days when a ticket stub served as a testament to our presence, a cherished artifact that whispered, "I was there."
With onchain technology that changes. A new way to bridge the physical and digital worlds, to enhance how we cherish moments and connect to teams and other fans who witnessed the same moments of history.
It's time to bring football attendance onchain 🇳🇱🇧🇪
@goku_nft@solana@xpticket@onopenxyz is doing an awesome job in this regard. 7 years in the business and over 6 million tickets issued for all kind of events (all trackable on their explorer: https://t.co/AL5aphy706). The disruption will happen slowly, then all of a sudden.

We onboard millions of people into web3 every year.
All through onchain tickets, all powered by $OPN.
Check out how we do it in this interview with @AltcoinDailyio:

GM. Woke up and saw the whole market is deep red and plenty of people are panicking, so here's a message from me, your humble quant.
It doesn't matter how long recovery takes accumulate comfy projects that will lead future narratives.
All signs point to $OPN.
@nahawin I think they’re hovering just $1/$2M above 15M, but @onopenxyz could be a good one to do some DD on.
They’ve already sold 6.3M+ tickets on-chain in the last 6 years. Extremely interesting usecase and potential + scaling up heavily rn
Lmk what you think 🙌
Bold Statement: There's no better fit for #onchain utility than for tickets❗️
Why? Because the benefits on offer match perfectly with the entire lifecycle of a ticket and it's truly the only way to break monopolies and restore control to organizers and artists.
Here's how:
1 - Financing 💡
The very existence of ticketing monopolies occurs because they control financing for event organizers and artists of all shapes and sizes - 'he who controls the revenue controls the world'
Many artists sign their soul away with multi-year contracts in order to finance their events or tours and there's simply no other way... until now.
Blockchains happen to be the only real public infrastructure that can amass as much or more TVL than public ticketing company balance sheets. #DeFi event financing finally opens up ways to finance events without giving away the keys to the kingdom.
It's now finally game on: https://t.co/TUg2Dg91Lh
2 - Transparency 💡
Tickets sold out in 30 seconds? Hmm did they really get sold in the first place or just reserved for a secondary market, to hike prices 10000%? With centralised ticketing you'd never know, with onchain ticketing, you do.
See it for yourself: https://t.co/yUC2PMue5O
3 - Controlling Primary & Secondary Sales 💡
The magic of smart contracts is a beautiful thing. You can finally set the rules of a ticket sale on a contract level no matter where that ticket is sold, primary or secondary sale, it's unparalleled control for event organizers and artists.
4 - Cherish your event like its 1999
One of the few benefits of physical tickets was the ability to atleast take home a keepsake after that magical festival or lifetime act. Nowadays you just get a worthless PDF you forget about in a heartbeat.
Not any more! We're talking digital collectibles taken to the extreme. Artists and Organizers can evolve collectibles with moments from an event, drop unreleased music, animate signatures and more.
Just check out an example we did with @DermotKennedy a while ago:

5 - A Lasting Connection to stand the Test of Time
Collectibles go beyond cherishing, they're an authentication tool too. An organizer or artist can know exactly what events you've been to and provide you access into digital content gated for event attendees.
Been to 1 event? Get access to a community channel.
Been to 5 events? Here's some exclusive merch.
10 events?!? Here's a 1 on 1 meet and greet.
These assets become an ever evolving community building tool that brings artists and fans closer together than ever before.
--
All this to say, if you're ever wondering how onchain utility can truly impact everyday people -- then the answer is with a ticket!
#NFT Tickets / Onchain Tickets whatever you'd like to call them, they are the present and the future of the events industry and we're working day in, day out to make this a worldwide reality ❤️
This is the future we're passionately building towards.
Onchain ticketing that deepens the relationship between fans, artists and organizers. Where one ticket isn't just a single use access right - but a lasting connection that is endlessly composable and interoperable across chain.
@fredagainagain1 we'd love to help with any onchain ticketing you need, big or small so we can help fulfil @0xDesigner's vision below 🫶
We've issued over 6.3 million #onchain tickets for 20k+ events, so we'd have it covered for you!
@John_Vance @wild__end @EliBenSasson@onopenxyz Dont know what happened with coachella tbh so I can’t say anything about that.
Several Dutch artists have been using OPEN for multiple years already, selling 10k+ stadiums (all primary ticket sales through OPN)
Feel free to do your own due diligence, see

@jayjayboske@onopenxyz I find $ONDO highly interesting with their $USDY and $OUSG products.
Their token however is only used as a DAO voting tool (afaik) so pretty worthless from a speculative investment standpoint
@jbondwagon@the8102game What’s your guys opinion on NFT’s acting as tickets to events?
Pre/After event design changes
Tickets are now collectibles
Potential access to gated community/ events / discounts and the like
The guys at @onopenxyz have already sold 6.2M tickets as NFT’s onchain
Good usecase?
