Ticketing is where it all begins with any live event. The first impression of the event to come, the excitement of making the purchase and knowing you’re going to see something amazing.

Today’s digital ticketing solutions are the starting point to enhance the customer experience for your next event, but you don’t need to jump straight to new technologies such as NFT ticketing. There are still many enhancements digital tickets can provide to catch the attention of your attendees. Let’s begin with the buying process.

ComeTogether announces the first edition of the Let’s ComeTogether newsletter to address topical issues related to all things NFT ticketing! We begin with an overview of NFTs with utilities and why they matter.

Let’s start with the basics, so we’re all on the same page. What ‘are’ NFTs with utilities? At the simplest level, holding an NFT with utility allows you to do something you wouldn’t be able to do without being a holder of that NFT.

And just in case you’re new to this topic, an NFT is a non-fungible token or digital ownership of assets. Created through the blockchain, they are similar to a cryptocurrency, but are a digital representation of one-of-a-kind assets that entail uniqueness or scarcity, such as a collectible, a ticket, a song etc.

Now back to the topic of NFTs with utilities…

As events become more ‘digitally savvy’ the experience changes for the fans. Some good and some maybe not so good. If you’re a fan who has historically saved physical memories from an event, you might be left wanting without paper tickets and entry lanyards. NFTs are a way to make memories beyond the event.

“Performing artists and promoters are looking for ways to increase fan engagement, reward loyal fans and to monetise their audience,” says co-founder/chief revenue officer Stathis Mitskas. “NFTs provide solutions to these challenges.”

Hawk has always been interested in technology and bringing new ideas to the way he shares his music. He wanted to be the first to bring NFTs to music in Greece. In addition, to bringing new technology as an NFT innovator, Hawk wanted to engage with his fans in a new way by creating an exclusive experience via the NFT offer. The owners of these NFTs not only got a special experience during the initial sale, but are also part of a select community for the future.

Performing artists and live event organizers are looking for ways to increase fan engagement, reward loyal fans and to monetize their fan base. NFTs provide solutions to these challenges. ComeTogether’s NFT solutions provided via UniqTogether include collectibles provided with ticketing or stand-alone.

The Kollectiva NFT collection, consisted of a limited number of 3D NFTs designed by 3D artist KELLOGGS. The execution and development of the NFT project, was done by Hawk and Jo Lids as the project manager, along with the artistic touches from Greg Nerantzakis, as the art director. The owner of each NFT, got exclusive access and received Hawk’s new music track, “Elefantas” from the “LIBERTA” album. KOLLECTIVA GANG NFT owners, also acquired the “Libertarian Role” in the Discord community of the artist. This came with the following unique privileges: Early updates and exclusive access to announcements, giveaways, invitations, tickets, appearances, merchandise and meet ups with the artist.

NFT sales exceed expectations by 20% and the Discord channel experienced accelerated growth with the start of the program.

“The purpose of KOLLECTIVA is to unite people who share the same artistic vision. Humanity’s greatest achievements always come through cooperation and respect for the uniqueness of each one. If we assume that all of us are pieces of a puzzle, KOLLECTIVA is the hand that puts all these pieces together and the result is creation. Join the movement!” said Hawk Greco.

O Hawk έδειχνε πάντα το ενδιαφέρον του για την τεχνολογία. Όπως προαναφέρθηκε στην βιογραφία του, ήταν ο πρώτος καλλιτέχνης που έφερε το Spotify στην Ελλάδα και τώρα έγινε ο πρώτος που κυκλοφόρησε μουσικό κομμάτι του, αποκλειστικά ως NFT. Ήθελε να ανακαλύψει έναν νέο τρόπο αλληλεπίδρασης με το κοινό του και να δημιουργήσει μια αποκλειστική εμπειρία για όσους συμμετείχαν στο project του. Ο στόχος ήταν πως, πέρα από την αποκλειστική πρόσβαση στο μουσικό κομμάτι, οι κάτοχοι των NFT να γίνουν μέλη μιας ξεχωριστής κοινότητας του καλλιτέχνη, για την οποία έχει πολλά σχέδια στο μέλλον.

Οι  καλλιτέχνες και οι διοργανωτές εκδηλώσεων ψάχνουν νέους τρόπους  για να αυξήσουν την αλληλεπίδραση με το κοινό, να επιβραβεύσουν τους πιστούς fans και να δημιουργήσουν νέες πηγές εισοδήματος. Τα NFTs δίνουν την λύση σε αυτό το πρόβλημα. Οι λύσεις NFT της ComeTogether παρέχονται μέσω του UniqTogether και περιλαμβάνουν ψηφιακά συλλεκτικά που κυκλοφορούν σε συνδυασμό με κάποιο εισιτήριο ή ανεξάρτητα. 

H συλλογή NFT “Kollectiva”, αποτελείται από ένα περιορισμένο αριθμό 3D NFTs σχεδιασμένα απο τον 3D artist KELLOGGS. Η ανάπτυξη και η εκτέλεση του NFT project, έγινε από τους Hawk και Jo Lids ως project manager, μαζί με τις καλλιτεχνικές πινελιές του Greg Nerantzakis, ως art director. Κάθε κάτοχος NFT, έλαβε αποκλειστικά στη κατοχή του το νέο κομμάτι του Hawk με τίτλο “Elefantas” από το album “LIBERTA”. Όπως ακριβώς ισχύει και για τον κάτοχο ενός CD, δεν υπάρχουν συνδρομές streaming και το μουσικό κομμάτι “Elefantas” είναι για πάντα δικό τους, δίνοντας σε όλους τους κατόχους τη δυνατότητα να το ακούσουν, να το πουλήσουν ή να το κάνουν δώρο.

Οι πωλήσεις των NFTs ξεπέρασαν τις προσδοκίες κατά 20% και το Discord κανάλι γνώρισε ραγδαία ανάπτυξη με την έναρξη του project.

«Η  KOLLECTIVA έχει ως σκοπό να ενώσει ανθρώπους με όραμα στον καλλιτεχνικό χώρο κάτω από την ίδια στέγη. Τα μεγαλύτερα επιτεύγματα της ανθρωπότητας έρχονται πάντα μέσα από την συνεργασία και τον σεβασμό στην μοναδικότητα του καθενός. Αν υποθέσουμε ότι όλοι είμαστε κομμάτια σ ‘ένα παζλ η KOLLECTIVA είναι το χέρι που ενώνει όλα αυτά τα κομμάτια μαζί με αποτέλεσμα την δημιουργία.!». – Hawk Greco.
