Dreamus Revolutionizes Live Event Ticketing with NFTs

South Korean entertainment powerhouse Dreamus, a subsidiary of SK Planet, is leading the charge in the adoption of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for ticketing services. Partnered with SK Planet’s loyalty rewards app, OK Cashbag, this innovative approach allows fans to secure tickets for live events, including K-pop concerts and musicals, leveraging the power of the Avalanche blockchain.
The Advantages of NFT Ticketing
Justin Kim, Head of Korea at Ava Labs, emphasizes the potential of NFT tickets to address persistent issues in the live event ticketing industry, notably ticket scalping and the use of bots. He points out that these issues not only harm fans but also artists. With NFT tickets, the process becomes more transparent and fan-centric, offering a solution to this long-standing problem.
Global Adoption of NFT Ticketing
The adoption of NFT ticketing is not limited to South Korea. Globally, startups like Sports Illustrated Tickets and Get Protocol are embracing this technology. Major sports organizations, from Formula 1 to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), are also exploring NFT ticketing as a means to enhance fan engagement while combating scalping and ticket forgery.
OK Cashbag Embraces NFTs
OK Cashbag, boasting over 10 million downloads on the Android Google Play Store, stands as South Korea’s largest integrated rewards service. It has now integrated blockchain technology into its platform to provide users with secure and efficient event attendance through NFT tickets. This transformation is made possible by SK Planet’s private Avalanche subnet, which was launched earlier this year.
The convergence of entertainment, blockchain, and NFTs in the form of ticketing services signals a significant shift in how fans access live events while protecting the integrity of artists and their work. As Dreamus and SK Planet lead the way in South Korea, the global trend toward NFT ticketing is set to reshape the live event industry.
