How did ticketing get so problematic?
What caused the rise of the ticketcartel™ monopoly?

It’s time to take a trip through memory lane back to the 1970s...

#OnChain ticketing brings that transparency that everyone is seeking after the #oasisreunion concerts went on sale by @Twickets .

Why not book more concerts at one location and make an extra long tour?
One can always cancel if demand slows. But we can safely state that #Oasis25 will not have a hard time selling @wembleystadium a few times next year.

Now follow the #TicketingRevolution

Change is never a straight line @Oasis had the text for that years ago…

“All the roads that lead you there are winding” 🎶 🎫🎟️🎫🎟️🎫🎟️🎫🎟️🎫

I’d like to see #Twickets get into talks with @onopenxyz to discover their ecosystem. It’s the future 👀

Securing a ticket for a concert has become a major source of frustration for fans, fake tickets, tickets vanishing in seconds, service fees that often surpass the face value of the ticket, scalpers, etc.

Onchain ticketing can solve the current issues in the ticketing industry.

Here's why onchain ticketing can disrupt Ticketmaster and cut out the middlemen.

Fan Frustrations

1. High Service Fees: Ticketmaster adds excessive fees to ticket prices. These fees are often not disclosed until the final checkout, leading to frustration and a sense of being misled. In some cases, these fees can add a significant percentage to the ticket price, making concerts and events unaffordable for many fans

2. Scalping and Bot Issues: Ticketmaster assisters scalpers in buying large quantities of tickets, only to resell them at inflated prices on secondary markets. This leaves genuine fans with few options but to pay significantly higher prices to attend events, which adds to the widespread dissatisfaction with the platform. Undercover Journalists showed in a documentary that Ticketmaster developed secret  “scalper” tools to resell tickets at high markups.

Department of Justice suing Ticketmaster

Department of Justice lawsuit against Ticketmaster
The DoJ alleges that Ticketmaster relies on unlawful, anticompetitive conduct to exercise its monopolistic control over the live events industry in the United States at the cost of fans, artists, smaller promoters, and venue operators

https://t.co/GnUDNwJmZl

Angry musicians: 300 popular musicians published an open letter to Congress urging lawmakers to reform the ticketing industry

"We are joining together to say that the current system is broken: predatory resellers and secondary platforms engage in deceptive ticketing practices to inflate ticket prices and deprive fans of the chance to see their favorite artists at a fair price," the letter reads.

Benefits of Onchain Ticketing

1. Financing: Traditional ticketing monopolies control event financing, often forcing artists into restrictive contracts. Blockchain technology offers an alternative, providing a decentralized finance (DeFi) solution for event financing without giving up control, potentially disrupting the current ticketing power dynamics.

2. Transparency: Onchain ticketing enhances transparency by making ticket sales visible and verifiable on the blockchain. This helps ensure that tickets are genuinely available and not just reserved for inflated resale prices, unlike traditional centralized systems.

3. Control Over Sales: Smart contracts in NFT ticketing allow event organizers to set rules for both primary and secondary ticket sales. This provides unprecedented control over how tickets are sold and resold, protecting against scalping and ensuring fair pricing.

4. Digital Collectibles: NFT ticketing transforms tickets into digital collectibles, including, event memorabilia, exclusive content, and interactive features. This offers fans a meaningful keepsake and enhances their connection to the event.

5. Lasting Connections: NFTs can also serve as authentication tools, tracking attendees' event history and providing access to exclusive content or experiences based on their participation. This fosters deeper engagement and builds a stronger community between artists and fans.

The @onopenxyz team finalized the rebranding of the OPEN Ticketing Ecosystem. With the tokenomics fully migrated it is time to look forward.

OPEN's mission and vision were always very ambitious and now they aim even higher➡️here 5 important takeaways from the roadmap blog.

1. OPEN is quickly ramping up to 60 million tickets➡️Huge growth, a 10x from here

Shifting focus from single events and event organizers to onboarding renowned ticketing companies onchain, integrating into consumer-facing infrastructure, and working with established organizations in new verticals on their Web3 strategies.

2. Groundbreaking onboarding event in the web3 world➡️major existing company adopting OPEN

To achieve the expected growth, the team is not merely adding a new artist or venue. It's about integrating OPN into a broader existing ecosystem at scale. Huge!

An example of major adoption, 17 football clubs to integrate OPEN-powered ticket-linked collectibles🔥

3. Doubling down on $OPN as the nucleus of a dynamic, evolving ecosystem

Today, every ticket or collectible issued on OPEN’s infrastructure requires OPN to complete its journey.

The team is further anchoring the token usage in its ecosystem as it evolves from an onchain ticketing protocol to catering for a diverse event and entertainment ecosystem in which ticketing is just one domain.

4. L3 launch on Base➡️drive the decentralization of the tooling

In line with increased token usage, the team is planning the launch of an L3 which enables it to become the essential element required to conduct transactions or deploy and interact with smart contracts on the L3, thus expanding its utility within this environment.

Additionally, it means tapping into the active builders' community on Base to accelerate the expansion of the ecosystem, bringing the ticketing tooling onchain, including the ticket shop, scanning, marketplace, etc.

5. Bringing the consumer crypto killer app➡️adoption through millions of real users

The crypto industry does not need another ghost chain backed by VCs. It needs adoption by the masses to become mainstream, one of the few ways to naturally achieve this is through onchain ticketing. OPEN has the experience, and expertise, and does it at scale, onboarding thousands of fans to web3 every day.

Do you really think you are ready for what is coming?

@unusual_whales $OPN, they were already making waves in the ticketing/event industry providing a transparent and honest ticketing ecosystem (with 15+ partners involved already) and taking on LiveNation.
Now with the DOJ all over them it's the right time to shine.

[Thijs @htbroekphoto]

The DOJ’s 128-page dense lawsuit shed some interesting details about @LiveNation's practices to grow as powerful as they did.

Recent RollingStone article is a great read, detailing the 6 biggest takeaways, you can read them below.

1. LiveNation “Colluded” With @oakviewgroup to Avoid Competition With Each Other

2. LiveNation and Oak View Group Compelled One of OVG’s Own Investors to Deter a Competitor

3. LiveNation Frequently Benefits From @Ticketmaster Fees

4. LiveNation Has Retaliated Against Venues for Not Using TicketMaster

5. TicketMaster Locks Venues Into ‘Long-Term, Exclusive’ Deals That Stifle Competition

6. Live Nation Has Expanded Its ‘Moat’ by Acquiring Rivals and Competitors

Let this be a wake-up call for the industry and be a start of better practices enabling real competition, especially with honest and transparent alternatives at the ready like the partners in the OPEN Ticketing Ecosystem @onopenxyz. Spearheading an onchain #TicketingRevolution.

[OPEN Ticketing Ecosystem @onopenxyz]

The ticketing industry is fundamentally broken and therefore I invested in $OPN because they have the solution that puts artists and event organisers back in control of their ticketing. Join the revolution: https://t.co/zhErQrkh9H
