As with all things crypto, the hype around them is completely unwarranted. But, like crypto, they _do_ correspond to something we have done already in the physical world, and to the extent that anyone actually wants to do that digitally, well, here you go.

Blockchain does literally nothing here. It literally doesn't do anything that a server doesn't do. It guarantees you nothing. It enforces nothing. At any time, the venue can simply choose to or not to let whomever in, however they want - they are in complete control.

There is literally no difference between a venue deciding to use the blockchain vs. deciding to use Brown Paper Tickets vs. deciding to use TicketMaster. The blockchain is no different whatsoever from just a ticket server.

Venues/artists could create and distribute the tickets with zero overhead and they would be easily re-sellable. The real problem is that this is not a sufficiently big use case to justify the cost of maintaining a blockchain and associated software ecosystem.

So what? You could do that right now without blockchain, for a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the electricity.
