Blockchain Technology in Smart Ticketing Bolsters Middle East & Africa Smart Ticketing Market
Smart ticketing using blockchain can improve passenger experience by increasing flexibility while reducing the waste of paper tickets. Blockchain technology has the potential to transform the event ticketing industry by enabling more secure, transparent, and efficient ticket sales and distribution. Traditionally, event ticketing has been beset by problems, including ticket fraud, counterfeiting, and scalping. These concerns result in huge costs for event organizers while creating a stressful and unjust experience for audiences. Using the blockchain, event organizers can overcome these problems and create a better experience for attendees. Blockchain can improve event ticketing by providing a decentralized platform for ticket sales. Rather than depending on a single authority or ticketing corporation to manage sales, blockchain enables event organizers to sell tickets directly to fans, thereby eliminating the need for intermediaries, such as ticket resellers, who frequently overprice tickets and contribute to scalping. The UOB team created the System for Ticketing Ubiquity using Blockchains (STUB) solution. STUB employs both blockchain and ontology, a method of describing and managing complex information systems, to develop strong, transparent, and interconnected data structures. Such developments are among the emerging trends in the smart ticketing market.
