What would Nostr do? 

 be decentralized and not run by greedy individuals 

 The venue you’re buying tickets for is a central location.

Maybe some way of selling tickets p2p over Nostr could work but you’d need a way to prevent double spend 

 This 

 it’s either that or go back to the days where you had to physically go to the box office to get tickets… 

 Just discussing this recently. 

 Imagine lightning payment and token drops in your wallet. Don’t even need to give email 

 Please 

 Yes. 

 Events for which you cannot buy tickets on Nostr are probably not worth going anyway.

 Bitcoin only 😁 

 Ticketmaster is the Western Union for live events. 

 I never had this problem, maybe because I rarely leave my basement  

 The problem isn't the tech so much as the cartel relationship that ticketmaster maintains over venues. 

In the 90's Pearl Jam tried to fight and lost against Ticketmaster.

 Is it time to take nostrtickets.com off the shelf? 

 TexTickets.com have had great experience with them. Have heard it is run by a St. Louis guy.
