    Most venues currently outsource this to ticketmaster which encourages ticket resale. Also, just because a place is already doing it doesn’t mean it’s the cheapest or even most effective way of doing something.

      Many venues self host. Many venues have their own box office that handles ticket sales.

      Resale from ticketmaster happens because of ticketmaster’s policies. NFTs are not the solution. If ticketmaster benefits from scalping, they will continue to have scalping regardless of the underlying technology. Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem.
