As you may be aware, any ticket that you issue for your event is created in the background as an NFT by GET Protocol.
This creationary process is deliberately kept hidden behind the scenes so that issuing tickets & servicing your event is incredibly user friendly & puts the attendee experience first.
With that being said, it is becoming more important than ever for artists, event organisers and event partners to connect with true fans that attend events.
NFTs offer completely new avenues for achieving this objective through digital experiences & collectible moments, so learning how to use your NFT Tickets can provide a lot of benefits to your event.

- Collectibles which further your event’s storytelling & capture sentimental moments.
- Access tools to guarantee only NFT Ticket holders get entry into digital experiences.
- Community building tools, where every person that holds one of your NFT Tickets gets access to community channels & content.
The easiest way of imagining an NFT is through the art that is tied to it, which we refer to as the ‘Collectible’. Here’s an example of one from Dermot Kennedy’s Street Session in Edinburgh:
