On our latest adventure we chat with Ritesh Patel, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Ticket Fairy, an advanced AI-native vertical SaaS platform built specifically for the live entertainment industry. Similar to the show How It's Made, we talk with Ritesh about what Ticket Fairy is and how it was turned into what it is today, such as: thinking of the concept, coding and developing, testing it on his own gigs, beta testing with his friends, pitching and selling investors, scaling the business and product, and continuing to enhance and grow the platform's capabilities. It's a fascinating look into an interesting industry platform and what goes into building a business. Additionally, Ritesh is the creator of LOCUS, which he originally started to promote shows in 2000 and revived in 2022 into what is now two multi-day annual festivals in Tulum and Bali. We talk through both events and how they allow him to continue to follow his passion for being a promoter, which was incubated by falling in love with the rave scene while in college in Bristol. Enjoy this interesting, educational episode that is steeped in a love for live events and exploring ways to make things easier for those that put them on.Ritesh Patel: Instagram | X/Twitter | LinkedInTicket Fairy: Facebook | Instagram | X/Twitter ––––––ADVENTURES IN VENUELANDFollow on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, or X/TwitterLearn more about Event & Venue Marketing ConferenceMeet our team:Paul Hooper | Co-host, Booking, Branding & MarketingDave Redelberger | Co-host & Guest ResearchMegan Ebeck | Marketing, Design & Digital AdvertisingSamantha Marker | Marketing, Copywriting & PublicityCamille Faulkner | Audio Editing & MixingHave a suggestion for a guest or bonus episode?

They also explore the broader issue of monopoly power in the live music industry, the push to separate the two companies, and the policy and legal strategies that could protect venues, artists, and consumers moving forward.https://www.nivassoc.org/https://www.nivassoc.org/fixthetix/model-legislation5:10 Introduction and Overview of Live Nation's Situation10:10 FTC Lawsuit Against Live Nation and Ticketmaster15:10 History of Live Nation and Ticketmaster Merger20:10 Role of NIVA and Its Advocacy Efforts25:10 Impact of Ticket Scalping and Resale Practices30:10 Discussion on Ticketing Reform and Legislative Efforts35:10 Challenges Faced by Independent Venues40:10 Artists' Perspectives on Ticketing Issues45:10 Future of Ticketing and Live Events50:10 Closing Remarks and Call to ActionEdited and mixed by Peter SchruppMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

Nextech3D.AI CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share new details on the company's highly anticipated blockchain ticketing roadmap, which aims to unify ticketing, payments, digital identity, and AR/AI-powered navigation into one integrated platform. The rollout will follow a two-phase approach designed to balance accessibility and innovation. Phase 1 (Q4 2025 will see rhe launch of a custodial, walletless ticketing solution requiring no crypto wallet from users. Fans will be able to purchase tickets seamlessly using credit card, ACH, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. A secure custodial smart wallet will be created behind the scenes, eliminating Web3 friction while still delivering the benefits of on-chain technology to event organizers. This phase is designed for maximum accessibility, ease of adoption, and regulatory compliance. Phase 2 in early 2026 will feature the introduction of a native self-custody wallet option, giving users the flexibility to hold and manage their own blockchain-based tickets directly. This feature will appeal to more advanced Web3 users seeking greater autonomy and control. Gappelberg emphasized that this dual-track strategy positions Nextech3D.AI to participate in both the primary ticketing market and the lucrative secondary resale market, which is currently dominated by legacy incumbents. By combining the security of blockchain with a scalable revenue model, the company aims to disrupt the industry with a fan-friendly, organizer-focused platform that bridges mainstream accessibility with next-generation Web3 innovation. #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #ARway #AugmentedReality #SpatialMapping #IndoorNavigation #MapDynamics #EventTech #TradeShowSolutions #TechStocks #ARRevenueGrowth #3DTechnology #ProactiveInvestors #aws #amazonwebservice #tickets

Ep. 154 Live From MAX – a Conversation on Ticketing This week our hosts Josh, Katie, Danielle, and Kevin are coming to you LIVE from the Expo Hall at Midwest Arts Expo 2025. Our four hosts discuss ticketing. They touch on On Sale and announce schedules, ticket pricing, third party ticketing, and dynamic pricing. Follow us on social media and let us know your thoughts and questions - https://linktr.ee/nobusinesslikepod Our theme song is composed by Vic Davi.
Nextech3D.AI CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has accelerated the rollout of its next-generation event ticketing software platform, moving its launch forward from Q4 to Q3 2025, with a blockchain-based ticketing system now scheduled to follow in Q4. This strategic acceleration allows the company to enter the rapidly expanding digital ticketing market ahead of schedule, positioning it to capture market share in an industry projected by Mordor Intelligence to reach $85 billion in 2025 and grow to $103 billion by 2030. Gappelberg highlighted that as event tickets have increasingly shifted to digital formats, the risks of fraud, counterfeiting, and ticket scalping have grown significantly. To address these challenges, Nextech3D.AI is introducing a platform that incorporates identity verification, secure tokenization, and blockchain technology to ensure ticket authenticity and security—helping protect both event organizers and consumers from fraudulent activity. The new platform will also introduce a fully transaction-based revenue model that aligns the company's growth directly with event ticket demand. Under this model, Nextech3D.AI will earn $0.99 per ticket sold plus 3% of the ticket price, creating a recurring, high-margin revenue stream that scales with both ticket volume and pricing. This approach represents a major departure from traditional flat platform fees and ties the company's success to the success of its customers' events. Gappelberg said this new model and accelerated rollout reflect Nextech3D.AI's commitment to innovation and to capturing value in a market long dominated by legacy players. Once blockchain tokenized ticketing launches in Q4, the company plans to compete across both the primary ticket sales and secondary resale markets, offering a secure, next-generation alternative to existing platforms. He emphasized that by integrating security, scalability, and flexible revenue generation, Nextech3D.AI's ticketing platform aims to redefine how digital ticketing is delivered—positioning the company as a disruptive new entrant in a global industry poised for strong, sustained growth. #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #ARway #AugmentedReality #SpatialMapping #IndoorNavigation #MapDynamics #EventTech #TradeShowSolutions #TechStocks #ARRevenueGrowth #3DTechnology #ProactiveInvestors #aws #amazonwebservice #tickets

This all came crashing down last Monday night at JFK when I boarded a Delta flight to Seattle around 5 p.m. I consider JFK to be as close to a prison camp as I care to get. The Delta terminal is vast and crowded and ugly, endless lines at Ticketing, TSA agents whose badge entitles them to freely express hostility and contempt, miles of concourses lined with souvenir shops, the smell of bad food. Naming the airport for our late lamented president did him no service.We boarded the plane and sat at the gate for a while, then pulled out and sat on the tarmac. A massive storm was moving east. The pilot came on the horn every 15 minutes to apologize for the delay and say that Air Traffic Control had no idea when, if ever, we might leave. Five became six p.m. and then almost seven when suddenly he said we were clear to go and the plane sprinted toward the runway but something changed, we were too late, and we returned to the gate canceled.

Digitalisierung ist im Freizeitpark längst mehr als Dynamic Pricing – von Smart-Home-Ansätzen über automatisierte Startprozesse bis hin zu Besucherstromanalyse, Ticketing und Payment.

Dazu gehören integrierte Managementsysteme, automatisierte Wartezeiten-Anzeigen und Schnittstellen, die Kassensysteme, Apps und Operations verbinden. Ein Appell an alle Betreiber: jetzt aktiv Chancen nutzen, statt Digitalisierung zu verschlafen.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: A listener named Mike says, To what degree do you think it's appropriate to talk with your peer managers about people that have moved from their team to yours? How much weight do you give their criticisms of an IC that they used to manage that is working out just fine under your leadership? How do you know if it was mostly due to a conflict in their relationship, or if there's a nugget of truth you need to look out for? Hi, thanks for a great show. I've listened to 400 episodes in a year - thanks for making my commute fun! I've been at my current job as a software developer for a year. It's a great company overall, but we rely on a 30-year-old in-house ticket system that also doubles as a time reporting tool. It lacks many basic features, and project managers often resort to SQL and Excel just to get an overview. As you can imagine, things get forgotten and lost easily. Everyone dislikes it, but the old-timers are used to it. They want any replacement to be cheap and also handle time reporting, which really limits our options. I suggested to keep using the old system for time reporting only for now, but the reaction made me feel like I'd suggested going back to pen and paper. While the company is old and set in its ways in some areas, it has made big changes in others, so I'm not ready to give up hope just yet. How can I at least nudge the company toward adopting a more modern ticket system to improve visibility and planning? I've shown examples that save time and offer better overviews, but it hasn't made much impact. Where should I focus my efforts—or do I just have to learn to live with it? Some more context: This is in Europe and the culture at the company is generally open to feedback and discussions from anyone. I have 10+ years experience and a relatively good influence. My manager is driving change successfully to make the company more modern but I suspect he might have given up on this one.
