"This is a big film; we always had a big idea, a big thought. Dropping world’s first NFT Premier Membership for the movie will help us enable new, more interactive, and engaging experiences for our fans. I would want fans to remember this experience for a long time. We are extremely excited to collaborate with Blocktickets as a first in the world”, said Kichcha Sudeepa on the release of the NFT membership for his movie.
"The pandemic has been hard for the entertainment industry, especially the movie business. As the industry gets back to action, NFT ticketing can be a way of enhancing fan engagement — enabling them to own a piece of a film’s history. We are excited to explore the expanding universe of metaverse and NFTs", said Priya Sudeepa.
NFTs are simply certificates of ownership minted over a blockchain that represents a digital or a real-world asset. " _The ticketing industry has for long used the old-school system of ticketing leading to fault, scalping, and lack of innovation. With the entry of Blocktickets, which is transforming the mundane tickets meant to be discarded, into delightful experiences, new horizons for organizers, artists, and consumers have opened_ ." says Nishant Chandra, Founder of Blocktickets.
“We truly believe this partnership with Kichcha Sudeepa and Vikrant Rona will create continued value for the film industry. This is the first time anywhere across the world a film is launching NFT memberships. This gives the filmmakers access to another channel of exposure and the fans an experience of a lifetime_ ." says Abhinav Garg, Founder - Blocktickets.
Blocktickets has been pioneering the NFT based ticketing experience in India and has already partnered with various events, organizing the first ever Holi in the metaverse, NFT-based musicathon, and much more. For Web 3 they have partnered with UnicusOne, a multichain Web3 platform. Blocktickets collaboration with movie Vikrant Rona is one of the latest in the series of many others. The much-awaited movie will be releasing worldwide on 28th July’22.
