EventChain ⚡Solving Ticketing Problems on the Blockchain

[chaoscoinz]

In the interest of making the ticket purchasing as easy as possible for the average Joe, will there be an easy system to just buy the exact amount of EVC needed via an already existing payment method like a credit card? So that the average Joe doesn't have to jump through a lot of hoops to buy EVC.

You don't necessarily need to buy EVC to acquire tickets from Eventchain. Fiat will be available as a payment option as well. The purchase of EVC will indeed include special incentives for people who do utilize it. As for the the the hassle of purchasing EVC for your average Joe, a coin exchange dynamic will be implemented into the EventChain ecosystem for instant conversion of fiat based currencies.
    It's all in the white paper my friend. 

Xd i read the whitepaper and didn't find the last part, I got the use of fiat currencies and other cryptos besides EVC, but the conversion of EVC inside the app is what I didn't know about, meaning that those EVC won't be traded on exchanges, and as a result won't add in the value of the token, unless you use an inside exchange that will also be part of the market cap in the crypto industry, so it reflects the value.

No, the tokens will still be listed on the exchanges, but for new adopters of crypto currency,  there will be an option to buy tokens outright, with a fiat conversion.  Not everybody is an uber elite crypto anarchist, as there are some people, who have never even heard of bitcoin.
     This will help introduce a new way of commerce to the crypto newbies, through the use of the Eventchain medium. The goal is adoption of the new coin, and adaption of the Eventchain ecosystem.

Since the US has 3 very huge ticket businesses that are expected to be very protective of their client base, how is EventChain going to attract artists and organizers to come to their site instead? There is a breakdown of the funds allocation in the whitepaper where more than half is spent on marketing, but does EventChain also have a concrete strategy?

several artists have been complaining about second hand ticket sales. This scalpers excessively increase the price of this tickets, thus making it inaccessible to some of their real fans. so If EC can deliver on the proposed idea, they might be easily swayed.

This project will help this industry, second hand tickets sales need to be regulated.

When you have an event like tomorrowland, and you can't have a ticket because all tickets were sold in 2 min, then you see an huge amount of tickets on internet with huge margins, it's too much irritating, and it's not helping the event industry.

That true but events like Tomorrowland are just to famous. If you really wont to go, people will pay...
This will be very hard to stop. People need to change, dont buy tickets with huge margins. If you missed it, try again next year

Yes, you're absolutely right. though Eventchain addresses in their white paper, most of the issues that plague the event ticketing industry, like ticket scalping , and immatation tickets, but there will always be a gray area, or loop hole that people will exploit, in order to marginalize off of.
   The bright side about it is, Eventchain utilizes the Ethereum blockchain, and will have smart contracts tailored to prevent a majority of 2nd hand scalping issues, like over inflation, and the immatation tickets.

The possibility to convert Eventchain token in users currencies in real time is a golden features. Its really usefull and can improve the volume of the platform. A little exchanges added on the platform is very nice and a lot people, even people who don't use crypto currencies yet will be able tu start to use Eventchain. And eventchain open a huge market, so all none crypto user will come and use Eventchain. Its very important and will improve again the value of Eventchain.

There is some people, just living with second hand ticket profits. They are getting tickets somehow and after that they are posting it for multiple prices. The sad part is there is some websites helping them to do so. And that websites are taking rubbish fees. Sometimes that website and second hand seller gets more money than original event holder. It's not fair. And even eventchain help a little bit to prevent that, it's enough reason for me to support.

Was looking at GitHub, function "releaseToken" is part of the finalize "phase", this means that tokens are not distributed immediatly but only when ICO ends?

People won't boycot events to make a stand against high ticket prices.

Some artists and even their organizers may be a little more idealistic than they are commercial. They want to keep the price low to keep it fair and accessible to the less affluent fans.

But as you say, some people want to experience the event no matter the price. The current ticket seller monopolies and scalpers are exploiting that gap between the sell price and buy price.

Maybe the only way to keep the price low is to stop reselling by requiring the attendee to be the same person as the ticket buyer.

Exactly, ticket should be bound to the buyer like plane tickets, there should be a refund option until certain deadline. In that case reselling woudnt be possible.

Phase 1 of the token sale will start in 46 hours. I can hardly wait to invest some tokens into this project. My bet is that this phase will be sold out extremely fast. Let's hope that not too many whales with exaggerated gas prices will buy in like they did in the Bancor token sale.

But if they figured out a way to implement an identification verification process prior to placing a purchase like you aforementioned, it will hopefully restrict/curb the act.

It would be interesting to have an answer from the dev to know how they plan to ckeck if one user does not own multiple accounts.

[troneejack]

Easy Ticketing system.Thanks for the flexible support.

[Cauchy]

Looking forward to see if ec will be the same success as aventus. I guess alot of ppl who didnt get into that one would queue up for this one since it has a good roadmap!

[the_donald]

@dev-team: Do you have a bugtracker or similar for submitting errors or feature requests while testing your alpha demo?

when they opened this up for testing I don't think they meant actual to goodness testing. just sayin'

[mworker]

I saw your website and read your whitepaper. really looks amazing project.I believe it has potential for rapid growth, worth the investment. Congratulations Dev's and good luck

An interesting read from Australia about ticket scalping and what could be done about it. They don't mention EventChain though. Maybe someone should tell them about it

Well, identification verification would be a possibility to restrict user from using multiple accounts and with this scalpers, it also shouldn't be too hard to implement. The question is, if people would use EventChain if they have to register with for example a passport check or what ever.
But on the other side, it would be effective.

A good solution for identity would be to use CIVIC .. keep it all in our blockchain family

partnership with https://rivetzintl.com/ Rivetz might also not a bad idea.

[gawajn]

For me the german thread and german whitepaper is not working. Anybody else has this problem?
Also you stated the main crowdsale will start  on the 13.09. Will there be a crowdsale after this or was there already one?
