EvenTix

Inspiration

After purchasing an expensive ticket for an event, I went to use it at the front gate and embarrassingly found out that I had been used already. It was not a valid ticket and was not able to attend the event as all my friends had a great time.

What it does

Event creators can make unique tickets, sell them all distributed on the blockchain and at the time of the event, the users can enter using their unique key. The key can be verified on the ethereum blockchain with a unique state of used or not used. Also, event creators can have the option of not allowing the tickets to be transferable, which means that the person who purchase the ticket directly, must use that ticket.
