About

ComeTogether provides NFTs with utilities, both physical and digital. NFT ticketing, collectibles, memberships. When you think of NFTs, usually the first thought is that this is purely a digital concept. ComeTogether is promoting the combination of both physical and digital NFT utility. The combination of these ideas allow the provider of the NFTs to reach a wider target audience and engage with them on multiple levels. The introduction of memberships with exclusive access based on the level of membership also allows organisations providing NFTs to build a greater rapport with the owners of the NFTs.


Solution & Product

Our NFT ticketing solution introduces a new form of digital ticket as an NFT with an innovative ticket delivery through a dynamic QR code changes every 30 seconds. This leads to fraud and scalping prevention, unlocking of new secondary market revenue for organizers and better audience insights. 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. Our NFT collectibles can be provided with ticketing or stand-alone. There are two categories: NFTs linked to events, such as tickets as collectibles with digital art, highlights from the event, fan generated content. Membership NFTs with exclusive content plus utility. Fans are only one example of where these concepts will emerge, we believe these programs will cross over into different types of businesses in the future. Utility engages the owners of the NFTs through exclusive rewards that are only available to these individuals. These rewards can be combined with memberships providing a greater motivation for fans to be a part of performing artist or event organizer programs. - Ticketing app and marketplace - NFT app and marketplace - Organiser tools for audience insights and program management - All solutions available as white label tools - All solutions available via an API to integrate with existing ticketing platforms


Innovation & Scalability

ComeTogether’s unique advantages: - Organizer tools to access secondary market revenues - Open ecosystem (moving to public blockchain) - NFT collectibles and memberships - stand alone or combined with ticketing solutions - High scalability - Lower cost In addition to our direct sales efforts, we are working with event organizers to promote our solutions throughout their customer base and artists to provide a platform for their NFT drops.
