Dear NFT enthusiast,

Dear NFT enthusiast, the last UEFA Champions League final earlier in may was described as a fiasco due to issues with ticketing and crowd control. In response to these events, Binance, who now sponsors Italian football club S.S. Lazio, announced that NFT ticketing will be available for all games that take place in the club’s home stadium the next season.

This news is followed by that Ticketmaster, an American ticket sales and distribution company, is scouting the productization of enterprise NFTs beyond ticketing. Read that again. As far as TicketMaster (one of the world’s biggest ticketing companies) is concerned, NFT ticketing is a given. They are now trying to build on top of it. Isn’t that exciting?

With regards to implementation, RMRK has built a robust NFT Ticketing service that improves upon the drawbacks of current NFT Ticketing initiatives through the use of its multi-resource NFT lego.

As we like to say, NFTs will conquer the world. Thank you for reading and have a great week.
