Ticket resale markets are plagued by scalpers and platform fees. A local, verified resale platform could eliminate middlemen.
Build a mobile app that lets users list tickets for face-value or capped markup, with identity verification and escrow to prevent scams.
Event-goers pay to avoid scalpers, and venues might partner to reduce fraud. Charge a small transaction fee or offer premium listings.
Start by focusing on a single city and event type (e.g., indie concerts). Partner with local venues for verification.
Risk: Competing with entrenched players like Ticketmaster who have exclusive deals.
