there's a world powered by crypto where artists and event organizers can sell tickets directly to their fanbase—in a social feed, in an email, or any other channel used for direct communication.

embedding programmable transactions into a URL (in this case, using solana blinks), a fan can purchase directly in an email, triggering a wallet confirmation.

you could also program the blink to whitelist fans that meet a certain criteria (i.e. collected a special edition thing).

it doesn't currently exist, but i imagine if adoption of something like blinks increases, wallet interfaces will form around it.

you could select the city of the artist's tour, number of tix, etc from the wallet (present day, we construct transactions in an app or website).

and on the other side of the equation, the fan has full control in this reality.

they're not beholden to ticket platforms, fees, or closed network marketplaces.

they can transfer or resell tickets as they please, and if royalties are enforced, the artist benefits, not the intermediaries.

crypto doesn't enable better ticketing platforms, it eliminates the need for them entirely.
