1/ Amazing write-up from @abracarioca on @TechCrunch about blockchain ticketing! Def worth a read 🔥 As an update, I’m excited to share that @tixbase (formerly NFT-Tix) is now on track to process 25M+ tickets annually on our blockchain infrastructure. https://t.co/Uib2V2XSew

Tying NFTs to tickets seems to be more than a fad: Concert tickets are inherently collectible, and NFTs can act as a bridge between the physical and digital worlds.

Tixbase is only as strong as our team. Super happy to have @jayks onboard. As a web3 product competing for web2 marketshare, it can be easy to mistake the forest for the trees. With Jays help, we’ve been able to look beyond the technology, and focus on the problem it solves.
Over a year ago, @tixbase was implementing a newly refined business strategy with fresh contracts from major ticket providers, including PASSO. That's when @EmilLjesnjanin approached me with his vision and asked if I could help bring Tixbase to market. I joined as a strategic

We’re building the future of ticketing, powered by @circle’s wallets. This is what web3 maturity looks like. Real utility, without the complexity. Grateful for the partnership with circle.
Tixbase is building the Shopify of ticketing, giving organizers the tools to launch storefronts, manage inventory, and offer seamless resale. But under the hood? It’s all powered by Web3. 🧵 Here's how @Circle Wallets helps us make blockchain invisible 👇

15/ The technology exists to fix this broken system. We just need platforms that prioritize transparency and verification over volume and fees. Until then, your best bet is buying directly from the venue when possible.

14/ Imagine a world where when you buy a ticket, you ACTUALLY get that exact ticket immediately transferred to you. No uncertainty, no day-of-show surprises.

13/ This is why I’m excited about what @tixbase is building - a system where tickets are digitized 1:1, verified instantly, and transferred in real time. No more “the seller doesn’t have the tickets” because verification happens BEFORE the sale.

12/ The solution? It’s actually pretty simple: tickets need to be digitally verified and transferred in real time. Each ticket should be uniquely identifiable and traceable.

11/ This practice leaves fans vulnerable, venues dealing with angry customers, and artists performing to potentially empty seats that someone thought they purchased.

10/ And this isn’t some shady corner of the internet - this was StubHub, one of the most “legitimate” resale marketplaces in the world! The status quo has no accountability. No verification that sellers actually possess the tickets they’re selling.

9/ If they can’t find tickets at a profit, suddenly there’s a “problem with the seller” and you get the runaround with “alternative tickets” or last-minute cancellations.

8/ How it works: Resellers list tickets at inflated prices BEFORE they own them. If someone buys, they try to source cheaper tickets to fulfill the order and pocket the difference.

7/ What happened? This is the dirty secret of many ticket resale platforms: they allow sellers to list tickets THEY DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE YET. It’s called speculative selling, and it’s surprisingly common.

5/ Now it’s just 2 HOURS before showtime. He calls StubHub’s help line in panic mode. “Don’t worry, everything will be fine! You’ll get your tickets!” they assure him.
