Music Industry Discussion | Podcast Focusing on Blockchain and Ticketing Innovation
In a groundbreaking move, the Co-Founder & CEO of HelloSugoi, Jason Robert, has unveiled a new platform that leverages Ethereum blockchain technology to revolutionize the ticketing industry. This innovative platform aims to provide more secure, transparent, and fraud-resistant ticket sales, tackling the issues of scalping and counterfeiting commonly seen in traditional ticketing systems.
In a recent podcast episode discussing blockchain and ticketing, Jason Robert delved into the challenges of innovating at the intersection of these two sectors. He described his platform as a "social movement disguised as technology," reflecting his commitment to transforming the ticketing industry.
Implementing Ethereum smart contracts presented several hurdles, including scalability, transaction costs (gas fees), and ensuring a user-friendly experience for attendees unfamiliar with cryptocurrency wallets or blockchain concepts. Traditional ticketing, with its entrenched players and complex secondary markets, also posed resistance to the introduction of blockchain-based tickets. Educating event organizers and buyers about new workflows and addressing regulatory and trust concerns were key challenges Jason faced.
Balancing innovation with usability was another significant challenge. Jason had to design the platform so that users who are not blockchain-savvy could still easily buy, transfer, or resell tickets without losing the security benefits of the blockchain.
