NFT tickets are just one of the more practical applications of the technology. While its clear use case is to provide added value to ticket holders, for organizers, NFT tickets can solve the problem of counterfeiting and even discourage scalping if implemented properly.

According to Meg Amat, the marketing and strategy chief of Mintoo, the collaboration between the musical and the platform โ€œat the Newport Performing Arts Theater marks a significant step forward in the adoption of NFTs and digital collectibles in the Filipino entertainment industry.โ€ 

โ€œBy offering NFT tickets that grant access to the event and other perks, the partnership demonstrates the potential for NFTs to extend beyond collectible value and into the realm of practical utility,โ€ Amat added.
