Quietly revolutionizing

Because once that difference between an NFT and an NFTicket sinks in, the wider scale of what truly sets the NFTicket apart becomes even more apparent. In that, by efficiently accomplishing its set task like no other tech out there can, the NFTicket unleashes massive potential to disrupt so many of the commercial and technological status quos we’ve been used to..

This is because the NFTicket concept is supercharged by this power to bypass all intermediaries and act as a comprehensively self-contained and completely secure entity. Eliminating, in the event ticketing industry, to take one NFTicket use case as an example, resellers who charge inflated prices on the secondary market. Instead, blockchain technology ensures secure, direct ticket delivery, redefining the way attendees access their digital entry passes.

It may sound like simply good tech and, in fact, once you’ve encountered the whole NFTicket thing a few times, you may not even find it all that impressive. But the longer you sit with and work with the NFTicket concept, the deeper you see the disruption and spiral of detangling that can really occur here. The wormhole that the NFTicket stands to bore into so many lucrative industries. It’s, indeed, likely the elegant simplicity of the NFTicket that produces this effect.

NFTicket tech is here to improve on the NFT base layer— and forever alter a diverse range of specific areas.

Separating NFTicket class from NFToken clunk

Clunky, effectively useless non-fungible tokens have polluted our purview for several years now and, to the unattuned mind, NFTickets may, too, carry this tinge of the wildly disorderly and unecessary. But anyone who takes a closer look comes to understand that taking that view is to miss the woods for the trees/era-altering underlying tech for the riled-up and raucous dance that it called forth.

NFT tech is here to stay and continues to disrupt and change the wider world.
But NFTicket tech is here to improve on the NFT base layer to disrupt — and forever alter a diverse range of specific areas. Essentially anything that you can think of that has in the past been ticketed in one way or another, or has the potential to be ticketable, now that this tech is in play.

This is because where NFT tech can be cumbersome and overlapping, the NFTicket is streamlined and targeted, achieving its gamechanging task with little fanfare. Whereas attendees at exclusive events like Apefest haven’t even been able to use their (in some cases multi-million-dollar) Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs to gain access to the event as touted, even the most humble of NFTicket-backed events instantly achieve this level of comprehensivity and ease of access.

The various end-benefits of the shift ushered in by the NFTicket concept have been covered on the NFTicket.com homepage and in the deep-dive What is an NFTicket? Suffice to say here that far from being but a technological novelty, the NFTicket concept is revolutionizing the ticketing and multiple other industries, empowering a wide range of buyers, sellers and facilitators alike. Precisely because the tech is so elegant and it’s so easy to bring and NFTicket into existence..

How to create an NFTicket

Creating an NFTicket is an art that combines technology and creativity, offering a novel approach to ticketing that leaves traditional methods in the dust. It can be accomplished by even those who aren’t all that tech-savvy and only takes a short amount of time to get up and running.

Step 1: Choose the right blockchain

1 The first decision you’ll need to make when creating an NFTicket is to select the blockchain that best aligns with your needs. Ethereum remains a reliable choice on the whole, but do double check the costs for transaction fees you’ll need to pay at the time of minting. These ‘gas fees’ are a function of network activity, so if the cryptocurrency market is experiencing high volatility or the latest crypto craze is leading to congestion as your mint date approaches, do consider deploying your NFTickets on a different blockchain.

While each crypto market cycle invariably throws up a new ‘Ethereum killer’ that never quite lives up to its billing, there are a whole host of newer blockchains seeing growing usage on the back of developer-friendly ecosystems and negligible transaction fees. There are really many to choose from, and some even already have a history of underpinning NFTicket-based projects, across muliple industries.

Step 2: Set up your wallet and acquire crypto

2 To create an NFTicket, you’ll need a digital wallet that’s compatible with your chosen blockchain. Your wallet will store your NFTicket and allow you to interact with the blockchain network. You’ll also need to acquire the necessary cryptocurrency for transaction fees and minting your NFTicket.

Do make sure that you’re familiar with the wallet’s features and security measures to safeguard your digital assets. There have been all too many tales of users wiping out eye-watering levels of equity with a misplaced click or character, so if you haven’t used the specific tools too often, it’s good practice to spend some time learning by doing before making bigger decisions in real time. NFTicket.com wants and trusts you to stay safe out there, peeps!

Step 3: Plan your NFTicket

3 In the same vein, before you dive into the (slightly) more technical elements, it’s a good idea to plan out your NFTicket. Think about your specific aims and what would represent a good result, and of course the particular details of the NFTicketed event, including the design and artwork features you think would work best for your offering.

Your entry pass to the event no longer has to be a rather flat object that you may hold onto for a little while but likely eventually shed. An NFTicket can be an artistic expression of your event’s essence, making it collectible memorabilia that the holder is incentivized to engage with beyond the time horizon of the event or the traditional ticket that came with it. With this in mind, consider creating a design that resonates with your audience and adds value to their experience, alongside idiosyncratic attributes that augment its uniqueness even further.

Step 4: Mint your NFTicket

4 Minting is the process of creating your NFTicket on the chosen blockchain. You accomplish it when you add your NFTicket information to the blockchain, ensuring its authenticity and uniqueness. The minting process typically includes defining attributes, such as ticket details, ownership rights, and any special features you wish to embed. Minting an NFTicket is the pivotal step in the production process, as it determines the ticket’s authenticity and distinguishes it from all others on the blockchain.

Step 5: Distribute or list your creation

5 After minting your NFTickets, you can then of course decide on what it is you want to do with them, with promptly distribute them to your loyal followers or listing them on NFT marketplaces or platforms being two common routes. Listing on a marketplaces provide visibility to your NFTicket, making it accessible to potential buyers and collectors. Here, you can set the selling price and any additional terms or conditions for the ticket’s resale — such as the royalties that should accrue to the original holder each time the NFTicket is sold onward.

NFTicket.com again advises a degree of caution when interacting with NFT marketplaces. It’s still the Wild West out there and marketplaces can be confusing, inconsistent, and sometimes overwhelming places to go about your business. Do select the platform that best aligns with your goals and also be mindful of how the marketplace fees breakdown in your case.

Step 6: Promote your NFTicket

6 Whether you’ve given them away or gone the marketplace route, once your NFTickets are out there, the next step is promotion. As ever, leverage your event’s marketing and social media channels to create awareness about your NFTickets and what thety stand for in this world awash with competing messages.

A good tactic at this early point in the rise of the NFTicket era is to highlight the uniqueness of each unit, as many users may not yet be fully aware of what exactly is on the table here. This angle gels nicely with messaging that highlighting the potentially (almost) equally unique benefits that NFTickets offer attendees, such as exclusive perks, collectible value, and secure, counterfeit-free entry that will never leave them standing at the gate (or forced to storm the turnstile!).

Step 7: Connect with your community

7 Building a community at all stages, before, during, and after your mint, can enhance the desirability and value of the NFTickets you’ve brought into existence. Engage with potential buyers, collectors, and event enthusiasts through online forums, social media groups, and events-specific communities. If you can create a sense of belonging and shared enthusiasm, your NFTicket holders will be turned into loyal supporters of not only your one-off event, but the broader offering that you can bring to their lives.

This is the beauty of the NFTicket concept, it is a gate turner in the short term, but that gate is also a digitally engaged one, lodged deep in the mind of the user, intrigued by this new tech and willing to let you into their lives in a far less transactional way than has traditionally been the case.

The path ahead

In the ever-evolving landscape of ticketing, the onset of the NFTicket era represents a transboundary jolt in paradigm that combines digital innovation with artistic expression. As you embark on the journey of creating your particular NFTicket, remember that undertaking each step in a thoughtful and proficient manner will add to the uniqueness and desirability of your offering.

With the right blockchain, planning, minting, listing, and promotion, you can, with even only limited technical know-how and time, set the stage for an unforgettable event experience that begins with a unique digital collectible — your NFTicket.
