How do you plan to handle the regulatory complexities of decentralized ticketing, particularly in regions with strict resale laws? Also, given that some ticketing apps offer fee-free transactions for users, how do you justify passing Stellar network fees onto users, and what impact might this have on adoption compared to traditional platforms?
That's a great point to consider, especially given the complexities of decentralized ticketing and regulations. We aim to keep the platform as flexible as possible, allowing event organizers to customize smart contracts to meet specific regulatory needs, like setting resale limits or restrictions. By using Soroban we could also integrate some KYC if required, depending on partner agreements and their regulations requirements.
As for fees, while some platforms offer 'fee-free' , by transparently passing on Stellar's extremely low fees—some of the lowest in the industry—we provide aim to provide a clear and honest pricing model, though we may adapt as users begin adopting the platform
Stellar's feature for Fee Bump transactions may give us some room to play around with regarding transaction fees. We could explore the option of leveraging this feature as an incentive for organizers, allowing them to cover their users' fees when selling through the platform. (Fee bump transactions)
Talk about abussive commissions:
Just today, I purchased a couple of tickets for a soccer match (Go Mexico!), and I was hit with a non-refundable 18% commission on top of the ticket price. This is exactly why I'm driven to find better solutions that bring transparency and fairness to the ticketing industry. There's definitely a lot of room for improvement in this industry.
Great project!!
Everything is well documented and explained. The design is clean and user-oriented, pretty intuitive and that's great when introducing new technologies and approaches to solve a problem. I do believe this project is tackling the resellers in the right way, not many have thought about it but many have struggled with this.
Thanks a lot!!
The reseller aspect of the project is indeed one of the parts that excites us the most. It's an area where we see a lot of potential for impact, and we plan to keep iterating on it based on market needs and feedback. We're looking forward to seeing how it evolves!
wow, nice job, I just think the real challenge will be to get user adoption around the Wallet usage
You're absolutely right! Getting user adoption around not just wallet usage, but embracing 'relatively' new technologies overall, is indeed a significant challenge. But that's precisely the kind of challenge we're eager to tackle head-on.
For wallet adoption you should take a look at the newly introduced smart wallets. They can be created using biometric data such as face-id or finger scan.
That's actually a great idea! It does sound like a promising way to simplify the onboarding process and enhance user adoption. We'll definitely look into how we can integrate these technologies to make the experience as seamless as possible for our users.
Our goal is to make these technologies accessible, intuitive, and beneficial for everyone. Back in the day, interaction with any web3 technology was just available through CLI. Today, the push to develop dApps with user-friendly and intuitive interfaces is key to bridging that gap.
Wow, loved the images you used for the sample events
Thanks! AI had my back over there!!
Update: one of our "live demo" links on the post was broken. Everything is working fine now :)
It’s an amazing project 👏🏻
Thanks for the support ❤️
Woow! Great work!!!!
Thanks!!
Wow, sounds amazing!
Glad you liked it!
Certainly a promising future for online ticketing approaches with your project.
Love it! We're excited to see how this approach evolves into something that event organizers truly value and users can interact with seamlessly. There's still a lot of iteration and development ahead, and we’re eager to continue refining the experience. Any feedback is more than welcome!
Great work! It's exciting to see how Web3 adoption is being integrated seamlessly into the backend, so the end user doesn’t even notice it—no need for wallets or direct interaction with tokens. How do you handle scalability and performance in this kind of implementation? It would be interesting to learn how you ensure the end-user experience without compromising security or speed.
Regarding scalability, we can effectively manage the application's performance as it scales. However, to be completely transparent, we will need to monitor how the Stellar network handles scalability as we grow. This is something we'll address as we expand.
The goal was indeed to create a seamless user experience where the complexities of Web3 are abstracted away from the end user.
Thanks a lot
Hi @josectoscano , how can I connect with you?
Hey! Sure, on my profile I have my personal email. Feel free to reach out
Congratulations @jose_carlostoscano_3bb03 this is an incredible project!!
I had similar idea when I couldn’t buy tickets for Taylor Swift. Huge respect for making it real. And best of luck to the start up.
Congrats Jose on your win. Amazing project 👍
Amazing 🤩
Thanks!!
