Our take
Beyond transitioning into the digital age, there hasn’t been too much change as far as event ticketing is concerned. OPEN, formally Get Protocol, however, is bringing forth a new approach to the ticketing industry by leveraging blockchain technology to introduce a platform that rewards concert-goes with NFT collectables.
The company’s infrastructure prevents ticket fraud, gives artists and event organisers greater control over their events, and provides a lasting connection between fans and creators. More than 4 million blockchain-based tickets have been issued in over 100 countries using OPEN’s tech so far, including stubs for well-known artists such as Gucci Mane, Lewis Capaldi, Ne-Yo, Louis C.K, as well as a range of smaller independent artists.
The company is squaring up against major players in the industry, such as Ticketmaster (which has historically gatekept the ticketing industry). That said, OPEN's innovative approach provides artists with a new way of engaging with their supporters and, following its July 2023 funding round, is well set to meet the challenge of standing up against the competition.
