The answer is decentralized event ticketing obviously

I can just vaguely remember -- and I long for -- the "good ol' days" when one could simply show up at a venue and hand over cash in order to be allowed in.

I happen to be contributing to such a project: https://tixedo.co

Here are some interesting reasons for it.

1. You can keep tickets as collectibles in your wallet

2. If you can’t attend an event you can create a Dutch or reverse Dutch auction.

It’s just a project but we are getting interest. We are launching in a week or two. If anyone is planning an event right now, feel free to get in touch with my friend Zach zach@tixedo.co

Hopefully you're not shoehorning blockchain bullshit into this.

Decentalization could solve stuff in this space by having the actual event-holder selling the tickets and such.

Adding blockchain to it won't solve any problems that can't be solved traditionally better and easier.

I think (or at least hope) gp was being sarcastic. These has been a huge uptick in folks trying to blockchain all the things.

I was being a little sarcastic, though if I had to name a few real world use cases for blockchain event ticketing would actually make some sense. Everyone hates Ticketmaster and resellers like Stubhub are rife with scammers. If you can build a solution using blockchain to reduce ticketing fees to 0 and enable ability to resell/transfer tickets it might work.
