According to an announcement on Feb 17th, UEFA plans to distribute more than one million soccer match tickets through a blockchain-enabled mobile application. This new ticketing system will help make an entry into the stadium smooth, secure and safe.
Thanks to a new initiative by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), soccer fans in Europe joins the ranks of early blockchain adopters.
That's big news, I guess. But decentralization of ticket distribution will be something tough to fight for, because everybody knows ticketing is unfair and lots of issuances go to touts. Not you want to blockchain it, will the poorer fans who couldn't afford it from touts be able to access this technology?
Let's see if people download yet another app for it.
This would checkmate ticket racketeering which is rampant in most stadia I believed decentralization via blockchain would block any loopholes associated with the tickets getting to a third party moreso this is also a plus to adoption of this technology in a sport rthus unveiling an opportunity for more adoption.
