The inherent problems in the existence of fake tickets
Fake tickets, in many regards, give rise to dissatisfaction, loss of time, and loss of money. More specifically, it induces :
More complicated access to the event:
Time-consuming arrangements for checking the authenticity of tickets.
Logistics required to reject participants with fake tickets.
Dissatisfaction of honest participants:
Longer waiting times.
Tensions due to usurpers occupying their seats.
Lack of confidence in the second-hand ticketing market:
Lack of platforms to regulate the resale of tickets.
Lack of technology to ensure authenticity of tickets.
Loss of revenue for organizers:
If there were no fakes, then more real tickets would be bought.
No commission is received on the resale of tickets.
