1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,240
Show of Hands. The festival the crowd books.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,810
A simulated first festival: 18 months, from the first ticket to the gate.

3
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:12,630
Months 1 to 6. We build four pieces.

4
00:00:12,630 --> 00:00:19,360
The ticket is a token on a low-fee blockchain. The ballot. The market. And the gate scanner.

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,730
Fans pay by card and never see the chain.

6
00:00:22,730 --> 00:00:28,190
Lawyers review the resale and securities rules before a single ticket sells.

7
00:00:28,890 --> 00:00:34,810
Month 7. 32 artists and 4 venues opt in, with dates, prices, and a listing fee.

8
00:00:34,810 --> 00:00:39,340
Then the founders' round opens: 3,000 tickets at a flat $100.

9
00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:44,220
The first ticket is bought at 09:02 on a Monday morning.

10
00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:47,610
Five days later, all 3,000 are gone.

11
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:52,680
Now the crowd builds the show. Ten rounds, one a week.

12
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,850
Week 1, the venue. Week 2, the headliner.

13
00:00:55,850 --> 00:01:00,030
Every ticket votes, and every vote moves the price.

14
00:01:00,730 --> 00:01:02,360
After every round, tickets trade.

15
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:08,890
Every trade runs through the platform's contract, which takes 2.5% from each side before the ticket changes hands.

16
00:01:08,890 --> 00:01:15,370
There is no other way to move a ticket, so there is no way around the fee.

17
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:22,290
Once the show is fully specified, new waves release at the market price, up to the venue's 12,000 capacity.

18
00:01:22,290 --> 00:01:25,070
Trading continues right up to the gate.

19
00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:28,530
April 2028. 11,400 people scan in.

20
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:31,690
Each scan checks the ledger, not a barcode.

21
00:01:31,690 --> 00:01:36,630
The crowd that walks in is the crowd that booked it.

22
00:01:37,330 --> 00:01:41,260
The numbers, simulated. Nearly $2 million in ticket sales.

23
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:44,800
$2.9 million traded, across 18,000 trades.

24
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:50,690
And $260,000 in platform fees, on a show the crowd made.

25
00:01:50,690 --> 00:01:53,650
Show of Hands. Raise your hand.
