Avenged Sevenfold launches its own Blockchain-based ticketing system

Avenged Sevenfold on Sunday (April 9) introduced TicketPass, their own “blockchain-based verification and reward system for anyone who chooses to participate,” the band said, along with explainer videos hosted by Avenged Sevenfold lead vocalist M. Shadows. Currently, it is an early beta launch.

Avenged Sevenfold’s TicketPass system is “free, environmentally friendly and requires very few steps to ensure you can get the tickets you want,” the band explained.

Watch the videos below.

Avenged Sevenfold “will break these passes into ‘tiers’ over time and reward people who have participated in merchandise, listening habits, music consumption, live events and other metrics.”

NFTs were positioned by some as the latest online craze and a preview of a decentralized internet, some NFTs have sold for millions and many celebrities support the trend.

Avenged Sevenfold TicketPass Info

How does Avenged Sevenfold’s TicketPass work? “For example, if in a year you’ve bought a T-shirt, vinyl and been to four shows,” the band said, “we’ll be able to upgrade ‘TicketPass’ and let you buy tickets earlier than others who don’t have it. “

They continued, “For people who are familiar with using Metamask and CoinbaseWallet, we need you to help people who are new to this whenever you can. When we started this over a year ago, many of you needed help and others were happy to to give it.”

They added, “Let’s make this a great experience. If you’re new to this and need any extra help at all, please join our Discord and ask in the #ticket-pass channel. When you open a wallet, remember to write down your 12-24 word seed sentence and put it in a safe place where it won’t get lost.”
