The blockchain ticket distribution platform for entertainment and sporting events, crypto.tickets, goes on an Initial Coin Offering during which the organizers plan to raise up to $23 million.
In the second quarter of 2017, start-ups raised $797 million in cryptocurrency using a new method of attracting investment, theICO. According to the publication Coindesk, blockchain startups attract three times more money than conventional venture capital financing during an ICO.
As the developers and organizers of crypto.tickets, blockchain technology is capable of producing a revolution in the ticket distribution market , the global volume of which is estimated at $38,9 billion.
In the traditional system of ticket sales, buyers are often faced with a situation where event tickets are bought by dealers on the secondary market, who increase the price several times over. Using the blockchain service, organizers will be able to
control the process of resale and refunds, such a setting price limits, by prescribing all conditions in smart contracts.
The system crypto.tickets will also help to reduce the risk of insufficient ticket sales because of the inefficiency of ticket sellers. In this system viewers will see all tickets on sale across all possible distributors. The price of the tickets will be formed in accordance with a dynamic pricing algorithm, which is already used by transport companies, based on the ticket prices that adjust based on demand.
