SwagTix - NFT Event Tickets

About SwagTix

Revolutionizing event ticketing with blockchain technology and NFTs

SwagTix is redefining event ticketing with fairness, ownership, and community-led innovation. We bring blockchain-powered tickets, designed to give power back to artists and organisers, while making the experience for attendees feel simple, familiar, and worry-free—even if you've never used crypto before.

🎯 Our Purpose

We believe that tickets should be more than a pass—they should represent trust, fairness, and genuine value. Our mission is to create a ticketing ecosystem where:

Events are run using decentralised tools to reduce fraud, scalping, and opaque practices.
Artists and organisers always come first; profits are shared fairly, and the system is built to protect their interests.
Attendees can buy tickets using normal payment methods without needing to understand wallets, tokens, gas fees, or any crypto jargon. Crypto works behind the scenes.
The community plays a central role. Your feedback, suggestions, and ideas shape what SwagTix becomes next.

🔗 Key Pillars: Decentralisation, Usability, Artist-First Fairness

Pillar	What it Means	Why It Matters
Blockchain & Smart Contracts	Every ticket is backed by blockchain and smart contracts that handle issuance, transfers, rules, and validation.	Ensures security, prevents fake tickets, gives real ownership, and makes enforcement of rules transparent.
Fiat-Friendly Experience	You purchase tickets using familiar payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, etc.). The system handles any crypto-related steps in the background so you don't need to do anything special.	Removes friction, makes it easy for anyone to use, no matter their crypto knowledge.
Community-Driven Roadmap	We continuously gather input from organisers, artists, and fans. Feature suggestions, bug reports, and priorities come from our users, and we let you see what's ahead and help decide what we build next.	Builds a product people actually want. Helps keep trust and relevance high.
Artist-First & Anti-Scalping	Features and rules are designed to remove incentive for scalpers: resale price caps, rules on allowed transfers, profit redirection back to organisers, enforcing policies that protect fair access.	Helps keep tickets more affordable, ensures artists are rewarded, makes the marketplace fairer for real fans.

🛠 How It Works

Here are some of the components and mechanics behind the scenes:

A modern storefront lets organisers set up events, ticket tiers, prices, resale/transfer rules, etc.
Smart contracts handle minting, enforce price caps or resale constraints, track ownership and transfers, and ensure profit sharing where relevant.
A purpose-built ticket wallet handles ticket ownership, transfers, and verification when needed. For most users, you'll just interact via the site/app without needing to manage crypto specifics.
Fiat payments via standard gateways trigger the chain operations behind the scenes. You deal with payment methods you already trust; we handle converting, minting, validating, etc.

🔐 Protecting Artists, Fans & Fairness

We believe in a fair ecosystem. Some of the ways SwagTix protects that are:

Resale rules & price caps to prevent extreme markups.
Profit redirection: when resale is allowed, profits that would otherwise go to scalpers go back to the event organiser or artist.
Transfer tracking & restrictions to make sure only valid resales / transfers occur, under specified conditions.
Tools to detect and prevent scalper behaviour, bot manipulation, and unfair bulk purchasing.

These aren't just features—they're about aligning incentives so that fairness wins.

🚧 Roadmap & What's Coming

Here are the big features we're working on or planning, together with community input:

Feature	Status / Planning	Why It's Important
Mobile apps (iOS / Android) wrapper/interface	Designing / under development	Makes ticket access, transfer, and verification even smoother for people on phones.
Decentralised governance tools	Planning stage	To allow proposals, votes, and priority setting by community members, artists, and organisers.
Enhanced resale / transfer functionality	Specification / implementation underway	To support authorised secondary market behaviour, enforce price caps, profit sharing, and safe transfers.
Anti-scalping detection & mitigation	Active research & early implementation	To reduce unfair bulk buying, bot usage, and to improve equity in ticket availability.
Feature plugin / API ecosystem for organisers	Early exploration	So event organisers can integrate SwagTix with other tools or customise experiences for their audience.

🎨 More Than Just a Ticket - Digital Memorabilia

SwagTix tickets aren't just QR codes for entry—they're unique pieces of digital memorabilia created by artists as collectibles for their fans. Each ticket becomes a lasting memory of the event experience.

When fans trade these digital collectibles after events, the value is shared fairly:
