Sporting Events Bill [HL]Contribution
If only to take away the uncertainty for all those organisations involved with digital assets and token representations of tickets, I believe that there should be clarity on the face of the Bill as to the nature, acceptability, use and function of digital tokens as ticket representations. Just imagine the role that that could play in terms of driving out touting: you would have a real-time digital record of the whole thing and the history of that token. Touting would be impossible without it being clearly visible, thus creating the opportunity to do something about it and to do something about it through smart contract technology, not even necessarily involving human intervention to catch that moment.
