 Introducing... Ticketbot. A new way to buy and sell tickets across the web using open standards and internet identities https://zine.wavlake.com/introducing-ticketbot/ https://image.nostr.build/1e2f8a6656fc3a70d990ad7323a189194bfc19318d42a7c490f864ebf5ea364d.jpg  
 Great work gents 
 That's really cool! Thanks for making it open source and using open protocols so others can use this as well. 
 This really get the "fundraising" juices flowing. 
 This is a cool idea and could have tons of use cases outside of concerts for events that require a max occupancy. 
 Throw an event in DC next and we’ll be there 🙌🏽 
 how much are you gonna charge us for this ticketing service ? 
 Whatever the artist wants. The current demo or launch event is 1 sat. 
 Can yall provide instructions for devs how to add ticket support in various nostr apps? 
 Might be better to wait and see how this first event goes 
 Admission : FOSS 😂🫶🏻 
 Please make these non-transferable! I’m done with scalpers forcing me to contemplate $800 a seat for a not well known band because of Ticketmaster.

Thank you. 
 This unique ticketing feature is built on Nostr and Bitcoin. Bullish.

 Nip52 + a fee tag + zaps to pay a ticket.
Looks good. Transmit accordingly 🤙

 What prevent the scalpers to create 100 nostr accounts, buy one ticket with each one of them, then resell the tickets with the resell option. Or even sell the nostr account private key that hold the ticket.

You could use some web of trust or enforce old enough account only but then you will just exclude every non-nostr users which will already be annoyed to create an account and a Bitcoin wallet and buy Bitcoin just to buy your ticket.

Great idea but there is still a lot to solve to make it usable at scale. 
 All good points, and totally worth figuring out for the benefit of both buyers and sellers. All the primitives to make this work are available. 
 Gotta start somewhere. That’s why they say it’s just a proof of concept. I’m sure they’ll learn a bunch from this first event. 
 Ticketbot as a standalone app would change everything 
 THIS IS HUGE! 

Wavlake not only trying to fix the problems plaguing streaming and distribution markets but going into the live market, with ticket sales built on open standards, aiming to reduce price gouging and resales 👏

Bullish on the Wavlake team and future of music! 🙌
LFG 🚀

 Regarding the transfer/reselling issue, have you considered making the tickets into ecash and becoming a mint? 
 Yes we considered this. Ultimately we decided it was overly complex for what we needed to build 
 very cool! I'll try it out for some event I'll organize. 

I was thinking a sort of proto ticketing system with transferability could be just an instance of a cashu mint, disconnected from lightning or other mints. then a 1sat note could be the ticket. it could be exchanged for a new note easily in case of resale to prevent fraud.

I was thinking integrating it with btcpayserver somehow.

or if the ticket has a fixed price you could actually mint it yourself over lightning, but can't transfer out.

 Nostr really shines when we start linking its social features to other practical applications... such as ticketing

 This rules. 🤘 
 Thank you, friend!
