The difficulties in creating NFT tickets prior to Belong
Prior to Belong, generating NFT tickets was a difficult and frequently intimidating procedure. The following list of major obstacles that event planners must overcome is supported by actual cases.
1. Smart Contract Development
It took the knowledge of smart contract developers to create NFT tickets. These developers had to write and implement code on a blockchain network, which is an expensive, time-consuming, and specialized process. In 2020, for example, a small independent music festival had trouble finding and hiring a qualified developer to make NFT tickets, which caused the event to launch later than planned and cost more money.
2. Creating Landing Pages
Event planners needed to develop specific landing pages to sell the NFT tickets, which called for web design and development expertise. The inability to create a landing page that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional resulted in a less than ideal customer experience and hampered ticket sales for a regional tech conference.
3. Payment gateway connectivity
Event organizers had to integrate payment gateways in order to accept credit card payments, which required navigating APIs, security concerns, and frequently, compliance requirements. Potential ticket purchasers were lost when a local art exhibition that planned to use NFT tickets encountered technical issues while attempting to connect a payment gateway.
4. Risks associated with custody
The custody risks were frequently caused by smart contract flaws that gave hackers access to the treasury. Due to a smart contract vulnerability, NFT tickets and funds were stolen from a virtual reality event in early 2021, harming the event's reputation and resulting in financial loss.
5. Reputational Hazards
Any flaws in the smart contracts could result in hacks, which would cost the event planners money and harm their reputation. In late 2020, a film festival encountered criticism after a smart contract flaw resulted in fake NFT tickets, damaging the event's reputation and creating mayhem at the entrance.
