Core Problems with Current Ticketing:

• Lack of Control — event producers/creators have little control of the ticketing process and pricing.

• Scalpers — they create an undesired secondary market and compete against vendors for control of ticket pricing.

• Fraud — tickets are duplicated or non-transferable tickets are re-sold.

• Stolen, Lost, or Destroyed Tickets — loss of time and money in attempting to recover or reconcile.

• Centralization — subject to DDoS attacks, single point of failure, monopolization, fraud, hacking and bandwidth limitations.

The teckel Solution:

• A web3 (blockchain) solution comprising a suite of Ethereum smart contracts which encompass the entire ticketing process whilst preventing scalping, fraud, and loss.

• Provides the creator/event-owner with full control over the ticket attributes: list pricing, maximum re-sell pricing, contract and ticket transferability, redemption, re-usability, creator commissions, tranche sizes and attributes, purchasing windows, event calendar, and transaction halting.

• Innovative solution for the redemption process ensuring that ticket redemption cannot be spoofed or phished even if occurring at the venue entrance.

• Fundamentally prevents automated agents (“bots”) from bulk purchasing and reselling of tickets.

• Facilitates “recycling” of tickets for efficient re-use, e.g., in successive events.

• Authenticity/Provenance/Transparency/Privacy: provides the ticket buyer with confidence and full and transparent control over purchasing and redemption whilst ensuring security, privacy and traceability via their Ethereum cryptographic key.

teckel Provides:

• A license to utilize the teckel suite of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain which control the entire ticketing process, end-to end.

• A suite of Docker containers to deploy under license providing the entire backend support for the Ethereum blockchain smart contracts. Think of these as a ‘mini Etherscan’ focused specifically and exclusively on the teckel smart contracts.

• Prototype iOS and Android apps (plus source code) to utilize and/or extend under license, providing complete user interfaces (for ticket sellers as well as for ticket buyers) to the teckel smart contracts.

• Utilization of the entire teckel ecosystem running on teckel infrastructure to manage your ticketing as a turnkey solution. (We recommend licensing and deploying your own teckel solution as your ultimate goal, but you can start with the teckel ecosystem as a convenient and rapid on-ramp.)
