In a groundbreaking collaboration, Mereo, an innovative reputation-focused fan engagement platform, has joined forces with A Round Nation to transform how event organizers identify and reward their most loyal attendees. This partnership aims to introduce a more fair and equitable model to distribute tickets and engage loyal users.

The Evolution of Ticketing

Traditional ticketing systems have long been plagued by challenges such as scalping, counterfeit tickets, and the inability to effectively track and reward loyal attendees. As the entertainment industry continues to evolve, the demand for data-driven, secure solutions has never been greater.

Enter Mereo — a platform that offers deep insights into fan behavior by utilizing tokenized assets on the Aptos public blockchain. Mereo provides a more fair, equitable, and engaging way for fans to interact with events through various tokenized assets, including:

These assets include:

  • Tokenized Real-World Assets as NFTs: These unique digital assets represent ownership of items such as merchandise and event tickets, securely stored on the Aptos blockchain to ensure authenticity and prevent fraud.
  • Fan Touchpoints as Soulbound Tokens: These non-transferable tokens are sent to an attendee’s wallet to recognize their support. Unlike traditional methods that rely on cookies, phone numbers, or emails, these tokens empower fans to leverage their reputation for access to exclusive benefits without compromising privacy.

Leveraging Reputation for Enhanced Real World Experiences

Mereo’s reputation-focused platform goes beyond traditional ticketing by incorporating a system that incentivizes and rewards fan engagement. This means event organizers can not only verify ticket authenticity but also create competitive environments where fans can access better experiences simply by showing their support.

Benefits for A Round Nation

Since its inception, A Round Nation has served over 200 000 fans with live events with artists such as Zedd, Tiesto, and countless more in the US and South Korea.

By using a no-code platform like Mereo, A Round Nation stands to gain a deeper understanding and improve the marketing and distribution of its services.
