SI Tickets CEO David Lane said in a press release that the goal of the market was to disrupt the primary ticketing market from the very beginning.
Lane added the following statements to his words:
“Blockchain is the future of ticketing, and now ticket buyers, promoters, hosts and attendees will have access to an enhanced ticketing experience that turns obsolete barcode into engaging and collectible content.”
With this move, sports illustrated gained a lot of attention. The NFT move became the main theme of the program.
