NFT-Gated Ticketing Platform | Web3 Access Control for Events Indonesia

NFT-gated ticketing is a system where access to events is restricted to holders of specific NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). Instead of traditional tickets, attendees must prove ownership of particular digital tokens to gain entry. This creates exclusivity, prevents scalping, and allows for building dedicated communities around events. With Ticket Fairy, you can implement NFT-gated ticketing without requiring technical blockchain knowledge from you or your attendees.

Our system offers multiple verification options. The most common method involves attendees connecting their wallet through our mobile-friendly verification page, which generates a QR code after confirming NFT ownership. Door staff scan this QR code with our Entry Fairy app, just like a standard ticket. Alternatively, we offer direct wallet verification where door staff can verify ownership on the spot. For high-security events, we also support cryptographic signing to prove authentic ownership.

Not at all. While NFT-gated events work best with communities already familiar with Web3, we've designed our system to be accessible to newcomers. We provide clear instructions for wallet setup, connecting, and verification. We also offer alternative verification methods for those who might struggle with the technical aspects. Your event staff can use our dashboard to assist attendees who need help. For events with mixed audiences, you can offer both traditional and NFT-gated ticket options.

Our platform supports any ERC-721 or ERC-1155 compatible NFT collection across Ethereum, Polygon, and other major blockchains. You can gate access based on popular collections like BAYC, Azuki, or Doodles, or use your own custom NFT collection. You can also set up tiered access based on different collections or specific traits within collections. Additionally, we support ENS domains and Lens Protocol profiles as verification methods. If you're interested in creating a custom NFT collection for your event or community, our team can guide you through that process as well.

Setting up NFT-gated ticketing is straightforward with our platform. After creating your event in our dashboard, you'll find the "NFT Gating" option in the access control settings. There, you can specify which NFT collections grant access, set up tiered access levels for different NFTs, and configure verification settings. You'll need the contract addresses of the NFT collections you want to use. If you're unfamiliar with these technical details, our support team can assist you through the process. We also provide integration testing tools to ensure everything works correctly before your event.

Yes, our platform supports hybrid ticketing models. You can offer both traditional tickets and NFT-gated access for the same event. This is particularly useful for events transitioning to Web3 or those with mixed audiences. You might, for example, sell general admission tickets traditionally while reserving VIP areas for NFT holders. Alternatively, you can offer early access to NFT holders before opening general sales. Our system allows for complete flexibility in how you structure your event's access control.

We support all major Web3 wallets including MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, Trust Wallet, and more. Our system is also compatible with hardware wallets like Ledger for attendees who prioritize security. For mobile events, we've optimized our verification process to work seamlessly with mobile wallets. During setup, you can choose which wallet options to enable for your specific event. We also provide a wallet-less verification option for event organizers who want to verify NFT ownership without requiring attendees to connect wallets.

We've built our system with venue connectivity challenges in mind. Our verification system offers several fallback options:

• Pre-verification: Attendees can verify before arriving and receive a standard QR code
• Offline verification mode: Door staff can verify NFTs even with limited connectivity
• Manual verification: Staff dashboard to look up wallet addresses and check ownership
• Cache system: Recent verifications are stored locally to speed up re-entries

NFT-gated ticketing functionality is included with our standard platform fees - there are no additional charges for enabling Web3 features. Our pricing follows the same structure as traditional ticketing, with a small service fee added to each transaction. If your event requires completely custom NFT integration or specialized wallet solutions, we may provide custom quotes based on your specific needs. For events using existing NFT collections, the setup process is straightforward and covered by our standard pricing. We believe Web3 technology should be accessible to all event organizers, regardless of budget.

Absolutely. While NFT-gated events can be free for token holders, many organizers implement hybrid revenue models:

• Access fees: Charge a nominal verification fee even for NFT holders
• Premium add-ons: Offer special experiences, merchandise, or services for purchase
• Tiered access: Basic entry for all NFT holders, with premium areas at additional cost
• Sponsorships: Partner with brands wanting to reach your Web3 community
• Secondary market royalties: For events issuing their own NFTs, collect on resales

NFT-gated ticketing is particularly valuable for:

• Community-focused events: Where building long-term engagement is a priority
• High-demand experiences: Where preventing scalping is essential
• Exclusive gatherings: Where verifying membership or status is important
• Web3-native events: Conferences, hackathons, and meetups in the blockchain space
• Artist showcases: Music, art, and cultural events wanting to reward true fans
• Brand activations: Creating special experiences for loyal customers

NFT-gated events transform typical attendees into community members with ongoing engagement:

• Persistent identity: Connect with attendees before, during, and after events
• Direct communication: Message token holders through wallet connections
• Verifiable attendance: Issue POAPs (Proof of Attendance Protocol) as digital mementos
• Loyalty tracking: Recognize and reward repeat attendees across multiple events
• Governance: Enable token holders to vote on future event details
• Shared ownership: Build events where community members have real stake

NFT verification offers superior security in several ways:

• Cryptographic verification: Blockchain-based ownership is mathematically verifiable
• Counterfeit resistance: NFTs cannot be duplicated or forged like physical tickets
• Transfer control: Specific NFTs can be made non-transferable to prevent unauthorized reselling
• Wallet binding: Access can be restricted to specific verified wallets
• Audit trail: All verification attempts are logged transparently on the blockchain

We've implemented several contingency options for wallet access issues:

• Account backup: Attendees can register a backup email to verify identity
• Manual verification: Event staff can verify identity and ownership through alternative means
• Pre-verification: Attendees who verify in advance get standard entry credentials as backup
• Emergency protocol: Event organizers can grant manual overrides for verified emergencies

We take data privacy seriously:

• Minimal data collection: We only verify NFT ownership without storing private keys
• Transparent permissions: Clear connection requests show exactly what data is being accessed
• GDPR compliance: All verification processes follow strict data protection standards
• Secure storage: Any retained wallet addresses are encrypted and protected
• User control: Attendees can disconnect wallet access at any time

Absolutely! We provide comprehensive support for NFT-gated events:

• Setup assistance: Guided implementation of NFT verification for your event
• Technical consultation: Expert advice on blockchain integration options
• Staff training: Materials and sessions to prepare your team
• Attendee support: Resources to help attendees understand the process
