TICKETING & EVENTS

Keep your events secure with Payken. 

Payken records every ticket onchain the moment it’s sold, so buyers know it’s real and organizers know who’s coming.

THE PROBLEM WITH TICKETS

Fraud, fakes, and fees have made tickets a trust problem

Payken’s blockchain payment solution turns every ticket into a tamper-evident digital asset that’s verifiable by anyone.

Tamper-evident tickets

Each ticket is minted on our smart contract, so duplicates and altered tickets are detectable at the door.

Verified buyers

Identity verification is built into checkout, so you know a real person bought each seat.

Conditional Settlement

Funds settle through the smart contract when terms are met. You can configure automatic refund and transfer rules. Configured rules do not override refund obligations imposed by law or by card network rules.

HOW IT WORKS

From on-sale to doors open, in three steps

01

Create your event

Set tickets, tiers, and prices. Payken mints each ticket as a tamper-evident digital asset the moment it sells.

02

Sell anywhere

Buyers pay with cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App, or ACH, and most identity checks complete in under a minute.

03

Scan and settle

Check the onchain records at entry, not a printout. Settlement executes automatically once the configured terms are met, and funds are available to withdraw.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Event ticketing FAQ

No. Buyers see a familiar checkout and pay with the methods they already use, including credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App, or ACH. The blockchain works silently and securely in the background to secure the transaction.

Funds settle through the smart contract when the configured terms are met. You can configure automatic refund and transfer rules. Configured rules do not override refund obligations imposed by law or by card network rules. 

Only if you allow it. Resale rules are written into the smart contract, so you can permit transfers, cap resale prices, or lock tickets to the verified buyer entirely. Resale restrictions are subject to the law of the jurisdiction where the event takes place.

Once the configured terms are met, you can withdraw to a linked bank account or push-to-card. Timing depends on the receiving institution.

Identity Verification Notice

Name
Biometric Identifier Notice and Consent

To verify your identity, Payken, through its identity verification provider, Plaid, will take a photo of your face and create a mathematical representation of it. That representation is a biometric identifier.

We use it only to confirm you are the person shown on your identification document and to prevent duplicate or fraudulent accounts. We do not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from it, and we do not use it for any other purpose.

It is permanently destroyed when the purpose of collection has been satisfied or within three years of your last interaction with Payken, whichever comes first.
