Case Study: The Swift Concert Ticket Chaos - November 2022

The Challenge:

The high demand for Swift concert tickets exposed a critical vulnerability in the current ticketing systems. Bots, programmed to exploit these systems, significantly outnumbered genuine buyers. They created millions of accounts, heavily tipping the scales in their favor.

The Fallout:

As soon as the tickets were released, these bots swarmed Ticketmaster's website. They instantly added tickets to their carts, overwhelming the system. This led to two major issues:

1. Prevention of Real Fans from Accessing Tickets: Genuine fans were unable to purchase tickets due to the bot traffic.
2. Website Crashes: The overwhelming number of bots caused the website to crash, leading to widespread frustration and disappointment among fans.

The Lesson:

This incident underscores the urgent need for a more robust, bot-proof system capable of handling high-demand ticket sales. TicketSenpai's platform addresses these challenges, offering a reliable and fair solution for event ticketing.

Challenges we ran into

TicketSenpai's Integration of ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFT Minting

Technical Challenge

TicketSenpai's success is not just rooted in its advanced verification processes but also in its mastery of integrating complex NFT technology. A key challenge was the simultaneous integration of both ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFT minting protocols using the same data fields.

ERC-721 and ERC-1155 Explained

• ERC-721: Ideal for creating unique tokens, such as individual event tickets.
• ERC-1155: Allows creation of both fungible and non-fungible tokens in a single contract, suitable for varied ticketing options like VIP passes or merchandise bundles.

The Complexity

Merging these standards was complex. It required deep understanding of each protocol to ensure coexistence and seamless operation from the same data fields. This was vital for a consistent user experience and the security and uniqueness of each ticket.

The Solution

Our development team meticulously crafted a system harmonizing these protocols. We established a unified interface capable of managing the distinct properties of ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens, ensuring accurate and secure minting for each ticket type.

Outcome and Benefits

• Seamless User Experience: This integration offers users a smooth and intuitive experience across various ticket types.
• Enhanced Security and Authenticity: Leveraging both standards, we ensure each ticket's authenticity and security.
• Flexibility in Ticketing Options: This technical advancement enables a diverse range of ticketing options, meeting the varied needs of event-goers.
