I don't like NFT too but have some knowledge about it. > If you sell it to me as an NFT, how do I know it‘s not a fake NFT ticket or even a fake event? This is actually not a problem at all: - It's not likely you'd buy ticket for some event that you don't know/not interested. - The event official (which you already know) should publish these info for query: - The blockchain - The contract address - The NFT token ID If you bought a proclaimed ticket NFT but it's fake, the only possibility is the official that you trust is a fraud.

Ok, so I‘ll have to check with the event official. How often do you actually know who that really is? Let‘s say Beyoncé is coming to the arena closest to you. Are you aware of who actually organizes that event and is in charge? Ticket buyers most often don‘t know and don‘t care. Plus, if I have to go to the central entity and check all that data, where is the benefit of going decentralized?

  Hey, no matter how you buy a ticket, it'd have to be verified by the official eventually. > How often do you actually know who that really is? Let‘s say Beyoncé is coming to the arena closest to you. Interesting, so you are saying either: - Beyoncé official publish nothing about the event - We have no way to look up the ticket info Not likely IMO especially if we are talking stars like Beyoncé. > Plus, if I have to go to the central entity and check all that data, where is the benefit of going decentralized? Well, de-centralization is nothing about convenience, and it's not just about ticket-selling. I totally agree that blockchain & web3 is not mature at all comparing to how it is now, and I don't think it's going to be success unless they find a way to generally interact with real-world technically and legally.
