𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲’𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 Last weekend, I watched both the semi-finals and finals of the LEC in Munich from home. The event looked amazing on TV, and the games were really exciting. But one thing stood out—the arena had a lot of empty seats. This was surprising because I remember trying to get a ticket myself, and they were sold out within minutes. So, what happened? What I assume is that bots bought up many tickets very quickly. These automated programs snatch up lots of tickets in seconds. As a result, real fans can’t get tickets or have to pay very high prices on resale sites. This means the arena isn’t as full as it should be, even though it was marked as sold out. This makes me think about some big questions for event organizers, especially in esports and entertainment: 👉 How can we make sure real fans can buy tickets? 👉 What tech solutions can stop bots from buying tickets? 👉 Do we need new rules or better collaboration with tech companies to fix this problem? Looking ahead, it’s important to tackle these issues. Whether it’s better CAPTCHA systems, using machine learning to spot unusual buying patterns, or trying blockchain for ticket verification, there are ways to solve this. We just need to put them into action. For companies hosting big events, this isn’t just about losing money—it’s about keeping the trust and loyalty of your audience. When an event says it’s "sold out," it should really mean that every seat is filled with a true fan. I’m especially interested to see how this will go for the Worlds 2024 event in London later this year. Being the biggest event of the year for Riot Games with millions of viewers, it will be a big test of how well these problems are handled. Let’s work together to make these events better for everyone. #Esports #LEC #EventManagement #TechSolutions #Innovation

This week we welcome Pet Berisha as our guest on the #WFSPodcast 🎙 , where we had a fantastic conversation about web3 and football. The main takeaways include: ⚽ The opportunity that web3 represents in sport from a product-market fit perspective, but the problem up to now has been its poor execution. And we've seen it fall in recent years. ⚽ How to use it to drive loyalty/engagement with fans, rather than a window for short-term monetization. In this sense, there must be a focus on reducing friction and helping them embrace the technology. ⚽ Examples from clubs like Manchester United; who are testing the appetite for web3-related initiatives and facilitating adoption. ⚽ The ability to connect digital assets with in-person experiences or rewards.
