Wow! Blockparty could really be that hidden gem I was looking for.
While surfing your site and looking for additional information, I wonder if you are planning an ICO and bounty campaign?

Wow, I can't believe such a great project going to launch. According me the most wanted feature is to enter the gate by unlocking own ticket using your app that fully encrypts and anonymizes your digital identity from your phone's in-built facial recognition or fingerprint scanning technology. I am sure this will bring a revolution for ticketing system. That's great. Thank you the whole team behind the BLOCKPARTY Project!
Wait so you mean to say the ticket might be annonymous towards the vendor and the place where the ticket is used? And only has the real data in the application?

Interesting, when can we expect more information or dates?

I saw this and had to make an account. Newbie here.
Very interesting, been doing some research on your guys. I think this might be the next hidden gem? I have not seen anything quite like this. Especially with the transparency the block chain provides, this to me makes a lot of sense. I see capabilities of scaling here as well.
One of the most important features to me would be the ability to prevent fraud. I wonder how one would be able to view the above proposed.

It seems all pretty new to me, will definitly want to stay updated regarding the project. To be honest I like this idea of incentivization the most (who doesnt lol). Are their any projections for when the ecosystem will be ready? Anyways interesting idea and hopefully you ll keep us all posted

When was the last time you had a great ticketing experience?
From unfair pricing, scalpers and fake tickets to complicated procedures at the gate, ticketing is broken. That's about to change:
From unfair pricing, scalpers and fake tickets to complicated procedures at the gate, ticketing is broken. That's about to change:
Why does the ticketing industry — $57.4 billion in the U.S. alone — need blockchain?
Anyone who attends enough live events or tries to run their own events will notice that ticketing is wrought with challenges such as bots, scalpers, fake tickets and unfair pricing. Blockchain offers the characteristics of immutability, transparency, and consensus, which can ease the pain of event goers, venues, event organizers and ticketing companies alike.
Blockchain solves the major challenges facing event ticketing:
- Keep track of tickets from creation to redemption — Ticket transactions are recorded by a distributed network, which is a transparent auditable solution.
- Prevent or limit ticket price hikes in secondary market — Each ticket can be created as a unique smart contract with rules dictating transfer price and revenue sharing for transfer fees.
- Eliminate fraud — As smart contracts on the blockchain, tickets are immutable and can’t be duplicated.
- Create demand — Creating a new cryptocurrency creates opportunities to earn native tokens as rewards for early ticket purchase, referrals, and loyalty actions.
How Blockparty Delivers
Eradicate Bots & Eliminate Fraud.
Blockparty eradicates bots by connecting each individual ticket sale to a secure digital fingerprint. Each ticket is associated with an encrypted and anonymized touch ID or facial recognition scan, and each digital transfer is recorded on the blockchain.
Enhance security and ticket accounting.
Blockparty provides security for venues, event managers and attendees by validating each attendee’s identity with two-factor authentication. Attendees unlock tickets on their mobile phones utilizing a scan a fingerprint or face at the gate, and results must match the encrypted scan linked to the ticket’s QR code.
Earn secondary revenue.
With Blockparty, ticket purchasers can legitimately and anonymously earn revenue from ticket transfers. Blockparty simplifies ticket transfer mechanisms with smart contract rules that are also applicable to artists, athletes, sports team owners, venue and event operators, season ticket holders and anyone seeking to transfer their tickets. Transfer terms are coded into the smart contract when the ticket is created.
Create real demand.
Artists and venues can use rewards and incentives, such as event-specific airdrops and at-event rewards, to sell more tickets. Customers, artists and promoters can earn BLOX tokens for actions such as inviting and referring guests, and can redeem those rewards for ticket discounts, free drinks, VIP access, artist meet-and-greets and more.
Introducing Integrated Smart Contracts
The Blockparty team has developed a revolutionary new technology — integrating ERC-20 and ERC-721 to create scalable non-fungible tickets. Since each ticket contains unique identification data as well as capabilities and restrictions (over 21, VIP, free drink, etc.), the tickets are built with non-fungible ERC-721 smart contracts. The native token of Blockparty, BLOX, uses the ERC-20 standard and functions as a reward mechanism. The Blockparty protocol ties them together to provide the first truly groundbreaking blockchain-based ticketing solution.

Project Timeline
While the Blockparty protocol and mobile app have been tested in a “Private Alpha” launch mode in March 2018 in a rigorous environment at a major music festival, the Blockparty team has operated in stealth mode since its seed raise in December. Blockparty formally unveiled the company during Blockchain Week 2018 in New York, including a company presentation and live concert that was ticketed using a private version of the Blockparty protocol. The concert featured musicians A-Trak, Playboi Carti, Topaz Jones, and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. Furthermore, Blockparty has announced that the mobile app and BLOX token will be utilized at Elements Lakewood Festival in Pennsylvania on Memorial Day Weekend 2018, a 3-day music festival featuring headliners Claude VonStroke and Jamie Jones. The app and web platform are designed for universal accessibility via iOS and Android platforms. Blockparty intends to roll out its product at music festivals throughout the summer 2018 festival season.
