A new job posting from America’s largest ticketing company Ticketmaster reveals widespread interest in exploring new revenue streams using non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Over the past two years, artists, musicians, and the sports industry have helped propel the NFT ecosystem into the spotlight as the technology served its purpose as a powerful fan engagement tool. Instead, most of the general public jumped on the hype bandwagon in search of profit through reselling collectibles on secondary markets.
With the NFT hype eventually slowing down in mid-2022, entrepreneurs and businesses are looking for new use cases beyond collectibles. A study by Big 4 accounting firm Deloitte in May 2022 highlighted the untapped potential of the crypto ecosystem to open up new markets for the sports industry:
“We could see fractional ownership of season tickets and suites and a reinvention of the ticket resale process.”
Following suit, Ticketmaster’s recent job posting for an NFT ticketing tools product manager reveals the company’s intent to roll out NFT-based enterprise products “across all content categories, including sports and music.” “. The position also requires the development of new products and features that meet the future needs of your NFT business.
