How SecuSeat Works
A step-by-step guide to our blockchain-based ticketing platform.
Blockchain Ticketing Explained
SecuSeat uses blockchain technology to create a secure, transparent ticketing ecosystem. Each ticket is minted as a unique NFT (Non-Fungible Token) on the blockchain, providing verifiable proof of authenticity and ownership.
Unlike traditional tickets, NFT tickets cannot be counterfeited or duplicated. The entire history of the ticket—from initial sale to transfers between users—is recorded on the blockchain, creating an immutable record of ownership.
Smart contracts (self-executing code on the blockchain) govern the rules for ticket transfers and resales, allowing event organizers to maintain control over their tickets even in the secondary market.
The SecuSeat Process
From purchase to event entry, here's how SecuSeat works.
1. Buy NFT Ticket
Purchase your ticket through the SecuSeat platform or an authorized partner. Each ticket is minted as a unique NFT on the blockchain at the time of purchase.
You'll need a digital wallet to store your NFT ticket. Don't worry—we'll guide you through setting one up if you don't already have one.
2. Store in Wallet
Your NFT ticket is securely stored in your digital wallet until the event. You can view your ticket at any time through the SecuSeat app or your wallet application.
Each ticket contains embedded metadata including the event details, seat information, and a unique identifier that links to your identity.
3. Verify at Event
When you arrive at the event, present your NFT ticket through the SecuSeat app. The venue will scan the ticket to verify its authenticity and your identity.
Our verification process checks the blockchain in real-time to confirm you are the rightful owner of the ticket, eliminating the possibility of duplicates or counterfeits.
4. Resell Securely
If you can't attend the event, you can resell your ticket through the SecuSeat marketplace. The smart contract governing your ticket enforces the rules set by the event organizer.
These rules might include price caps to prevent scalping, royalties that go back to the organizer on each resale, or restrictions on when tickets can be transferred.
The Technology
A closer look at the blockchain technology powering SecuSeat.
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are unique digital assets stored on a blockchain. Each SecuSeat ticket is a unique NFT with embedded metadata about the event, seat, and owner.
Unlike fungible tokens (like cryptocurrencies), NFTs cannot be exchanged on a like-for-like basis, making them perfect for representing unique items like event tickets.
Smart contracts are self-executing programs stored on the blockchain that run when predetermined conditions are met. They automate and enforce the rules governing ticket sales and transfers.
For example, a smart contract can automatically enforce a price cap on resales or ensure that the original event organizer receives a percentage of each secondary sale.
The blockchain provides a tamper-proof, distributed ledger that records every transaction. This creates a verifiable chain of ownership for each ticket from the moment it's created.
When a ticket is scanned at an event, our system checks the blockchain to confirm the ticket is authentic and that the person presenting it is the current owner.
Digital wallets store the private keys needed to access and manage your NFT tickets. They serve as your digital ticket holder and proof of ownership.
SecuSeat integrates with popular wallet providers and also offers our own user-friendly wallet solution for those new to blockchain technology.
