As part of Box Office, SI Tickets and ConsenSys have collaborated to introduce Super Tickets™, an NFT ticket solution that empowers event hosts to remain connected to their attendees like never before. Super Tickets™ offer highlights, collectibles, exclusive offers, loyalty benefits, and more, unlocking engagement opportunities between hosts and attendees before, during, and after events.

“From the moment we launched our global event marketplace, which now boasts 50 million tickets to over 250,000 sports, concerts, and shows, we have been preparing to enter and disrupt the primary ticket market,” said David Lane, CEO of SI Tickets.
“Blockchain is the future of ticketing & now owners, promoters, hosts & attendees have access to an advanced ticketing experience that transforms the antiquated barcode into engaging & collectible content."

Box Office is the first global platform to combine a complete NFT ticket solution for events of any size with visibility and adjacency to traditional, non-NFT tickets alongside the biggest sports, concerts, and theater events on the SI Tickets marketplace.

The platform is designed to offer pricing that’s up to 50 percent lower than the competition and enables hosts and/or performers to earn a share of resale revenues. Moreover, every ticket purchased receives free credits toward any sports, concerts, and theater on SITickets.com.

Box Office by SI Tickets is partnering with a wide variety of owners, organizers, and vendors across sports, health and fitness; concerts, comedy and nightlife; industry functions; and philanthropy and faith. Currently, SI Tickets is launching with everything from youth football, basketball, hockey, cheer, and dance competitions to fashion shows and live music bars.

“Blockchain technology offers significant benefits for consumers, particularly ticketing, including enhancing payment security, and eliminating scalping and fraud,” said Brian Trunzo, Head of Business Development, North America, for Polygon Labs.
“Box Office is an important step towards further consumer adoption.”
