Not knowing it was about a game, that was one of the strangest headlines ever to read on here.

It works. Yet I have no idea what I should use it for.

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?

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?

All potential solutions to that question have one thing in common: An event has by definition a centralized entity, which is the organizer. Everything that a blockchain supposedly solves in event ticketing is after all a solution due to digitization, not decentralization.

I like this approach and will have a closer look.

I have seen many trends, frameworks and „best practices“ come an go. The app our company provides is based on very basic tech, with little js, and server-rendered pages. But you know what? Our clients love it, we are profitable, and we keep growing while being able to keep the dev team small and flexible. Just ignore the hype and focus on what your users actually need and want.

In German language, the word Zugzwang is also often used figuratively to describe a situation in which you are forced to take (unwanted) action due to external circumstances.

Example from recent news: Most online shops offer Black Friday deals. The ones that don‘t are „under Zugzwang“ to join them.
