As per the official press release “Live Nation’s Live Stubs digital collectible NFTs will mirror the unique section, row, and seat of each ticket purchased, allowing fans to collect ticket stubs once again – this time with more capabilities.”
Speaking about the initiative, Michael Rapino, President and CEO of Live Nation said, “Our Live Stubs product brings back the nostalgia of collecting ticket stubs while also giving artists a new tool to deepen that relationship with their fans and we can’t wait to see what the creativity of this community dreams up as it grows. Special thanks to SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA for kicking it off for their upcoming tour.”
Tickets for the ‘Paradise Again’ tour went on sale last week and are available here Live Stubs will automatically be given for free to fans who purchase a primary ticket to tour stops that are promoted by Live Nation and in venues powered by Ticketmaster’s digital ticketing platform.
