willingness to get ripped off LOL

I built a blockchain-based solution.

It features a price discovery mechanism: you auction off M tickets to M people, the price goes up every time after M people buy and the oldest buyer is booted when the others buy, but can buy back in again. Buyers can set a “reserve price” to automatically bid up to that price.

No scalping, because tickets aren’t transferrable.

Similarly, you can disallow transfering of bearer token X but let the user sell it back to the central market maker and someone else buys it. Enforcing commissions on sales.

Blockchain makes all this work, decentralized.
