Blockchain-Based Event Ticketing System

Objective:

To create a secure and transparent event ticketing platform using blockchain technology to prevent fraud, eliminate scalping, and ensure fair resale of tickets with verifiable ownership.

Key Features:

Tamper-Proof Tickets – Tickets issued as unique, non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Ownership Verification – Tickets can be traced to the rightful owner at all times.

Smart Contracts for Sales – Automate issuance, resale, and refunds.

Fraud Prevention – Impossible to duplicate or forge blockchain-issued tickets.

Fair Resale Control – Event organizers can set resale rules and price caps.

Real-Time Ticket Transfer – Secure peer-to-peer ticket transfers via smart contracts.

Event Entry Validation – Blockchain-based ticket scanning at the venue.

Technologies Used:

Blockchain Platform: Ethereum, Polygon, or Flow

Smart Contract Language: Solidity (Ethereum) or Cadence (Flow)

NFT Standard: ERC-721 (for unique ticket tokens)

Frontend: React.js / Vue.js for user interface (ticket buyer/seller dashboard)

Backend: Node.js / Express.js

Wallet Integration: MetaMask, WalletConnect

Storage: IPFS for ticket metadata and media (e.g., QR codes, event info)

How It Works:

Event Creation: Organizer creates an event and issues tickets as NFTs via a smart contract.

Ticket Purchase:

Users buy tickets directly from the event organizer using crypto or fiat.

Purchased tickets are transferred to the user's wallet.

Resale (Optional):

Owners can list their tickets for resale.

Smart contract ensures pricing, timing, and resale limits set by organizers.

Event Entry:

Users scan a blockchain-verified QR code at the venue.

Ticket ownership is validated in real-time.

Full Transparency – Buyers and organizers can see all transaction history.

Resale Control – Stops price gouging and unfair secondary market practices.

Reduced Middlemen – Lower transaction fees by cutting out third parties.
