“The pandemic has been hard for the entertainment industry, especially the movie business. As the industry gets back to action, NFT ticketing can be a way of enhancing fan engagement — enabling them to own a piece of a film’s history. We are excited to explore the expanding universe of metaverse and NFTs_ “, said Priya Sudeepa.
NFTs are simply certificates of ownership minted over a blockchain that represents a digital or a real-world asset. ” _The ticketing industry has for long used the old-school system of ticketing leading to fault, scalping, and lack of innovation. With the entry of Blocktickets, which is transforming the mundane tickets meant to be discarded, into delightful experiences, new horizons for organizers, artists, and consumers have opened_ .” says Nishant Chandra, Founder of Blocktickets.
“ We truly believe this partnership with Kichcha Sudeepa and Vikrant Rona will create continued value for the film industry. This is the first time anywhere across the world a film is launching NFT memberships. This gives the filmmakers access to another channel of exposure and the fans an experience of a lifetime_ .” says Abhinav Garg, Founder – Blocktickets
