I will give you a simple example from your hypothetical. The venue rules say no one admitted unless they are wearing proper attire. They refuse to let you in despite your valid NFT ticket. You claim your attire was proper. They claim it was not.

I buy an NFT ticket. I can’t go. I want to sell my ticket to another guy, but the venue won’t let me. (eg non transferable airline seats). In an NFT world they can’t stop me trading that ticket and they’ll be legally forced to accept the trade as it was perfectly valid.

That would be true of any marketplace where that was the rule for the purchase. That has literally nothing to do with NFTs.

Furthermore, any venue accepting NFTs can simply say they are non-transferable, and require, for example, the NFT to encode the name of the original purchaser. End of story.

But in that case, if I were the artist hiring out the venue to play, wouldn’t I take my business to a competing venue with more favorable terms?

Again, nothing to do with NFTs. Artists already get that choice, precisely as much choice as the market created without NFTs, you would presume would be created with NFTs, since NFTs _don't do anything_.

But how could an artist today take their fanbase to a competing venue if the artist doesn’t know who their fans are? (only the venue has the list)

I still really don't understand almost any of this argument. Having access to the fan list or not doesn't have anything to do with NFTs? Either that's part of the contract with the venue, or it isn't? Plus, usually it goes artist -> venue, not venue -> artist for mailing lists!

*usually* :) Bitcoin/NFT flips the produce/consume chain. Fans pay the artist, not the venue. Artist sells his own tickets. Artist hires the venue. Give this a watch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS8a1rnPGGo …

It's not like musicians are going to create NFTs directly, they're too complex, a company like TicketMaster will just provide NFTs as a service, put encrypted data in them, and we're back to square one. Nothing about NFTs inherently prevents this.

My point exactly. 100% of the things people say are benefits of NFTs are just benefits of _services_ people build on top of NFTs that they could just have easily built on top of something else.

Much like BitCoin, I have yet to hear a single example of something that is a benefit that can only be delivered by the underlying crypto technology.

People need to stop saying "but what about this use case", and just stating the use case. You have to say why, given a service that implements the same thing, they couldn't have just used a MySQL server as the backend instead of a blockchain.
