OpenSeats

OpenSeats is a blockchain-based project that aims to make ticket sales for football clubs and other events more open and fair. The project seeks to eliminate the problem of ticket scalping.

Inspiration

I'm a huge football fan and I have always had to put up with the fact that scalpers make tickets way more expensive than the clubs actually sell them for.

What it does

It ensures that tickets cannot be resold for a higher price, and also binds the tickets to a specific person so nobody else can enter with that one

How I built it

  • I had this idea for the last couple months so that was sorted already
  • First built the backend and wrote test tests for it
  • Built a FE
  • Connected the BE to the FE.
  • Currently planning next steps

Challenges we ran into

Wallet connection is not implemented at the moment, at this point this version can be considered an early prototype to showcase what the vision is and get people excited.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  • I set up the project myself
  • The idea itself
  • The Solidity code

What we learned

  • Solo projects are fun and adventurous, and also let's you learn a let

What's next for OpenSeats

  • Implement wallet connection
  • Authorization
  • Figure out how and when people will bind their tickets to their names
  • Deploy it to the cloud (currently local project)
  • Make it scalable
  • Nicer UI
