GUTS Tickets - Event Technology Platform Review

Blockchain-powered ticketing platform using GET Protocol to eliminate fraud, scalping, and counterfeit tickets.

GUTS Tickets is an Amsterdam-based blockchain ticketing company founded in 2016 that uses the GET Protocol (Guaranteed Entrance Token) to register ticket ownership on the blockchain. Every ticket is a 'smart ticket' tied to the buyer's mobile phone with dynamic QR codes that refresh with each transaction, making counterfeiting virtually impossible. The platform enforces organizer-controlled resale prices, completely preventing scalping and speculative secondary market pricing. GUTS Tickets was acquired by CM.com in February 2025, expanding its reach into the broader communications and commerce ecosystem. The GET Protocol is open-source and has been adopted by multiple ticketing companies worldwide as an anti-fraud layer.
