In today’s episode, we are diving into the world of digital ticketing and how ComeTogether came into that industry to shake things up and create the best experience possible for its customers. What do they bring to the table? A new form of digital ticket, as NFT collectables: 3D art, video highlights from events, and performer commentary to name a few of the endless possibilities.
ComeTogether launched in 2019 and so far has supported over 700 live events in Greece, Spain, the UK, the UAE, and Australia, as well as provided Music NFTs and fan club memberships for multi-diamond artists.
