Abstract

Event ticketing systems are facing challenges of preventing ticket forgery and scalping while assuring privacy protection and information transparency. To alleviate these issues, this thesis presents a hybrid blockchain-based event ticketing system. It uses blockchain technology to ensure the transparency of ticketing information, and uses asymmetric encryption technology to protect privacy. The system also uses digital signature technology to ensure ticket authenticity, and has a novel ticket verification mechanism for preventing ticket scalping. A description of the experiments that were conducted on the system implementation and the analysis of their results conclude an evaluation of the system.
