The Event industry is in need of disruption with multiple problems like:
expensive ticket price due to high transaction fees from banks and credit card companies, ineffective non-transparent advertisement / expensive event promotion campaigns ticket touting, reselling and availability of fake tickets.
KickCity will allow for the development of a universal token for events KICK’ and KickCity protocol which is composed of Ethereum Smart Contracts will allow for the development of a decentralized event platform and promotion asset, ticket processing and transactions and event community building. An ideal solution for the event industry where all the participants in the marketplace are satisfied.
KickCity – is a community-based social event platform for event organizers and attendees. For the past year, KickCity, Inc.’ has focused on building community around events, providing event organizers with tools to create promote and monetize their events.
*KickCity is*
*a Y Combinator Startup School alumni.
*operates in several continents.
*the first event platform that accepts Bitcoin payments for events.
Using blockchain, KickCity plans to connect event organizer with attendees without third party interruption like banks (for processing), provide a trust system and allow effective marketing.
KickCity recently received grant from the Helsinki Government and also is currently discussing cross-platform integration with big Russian telecommunication giant.
*Kickcity Platform*
KickCity - builds a community-based social event platform for event organizers and participants. For the past year, 'KickCity, Inc.' focuses on building communities around the event, providing event organizers with tools to create, promote and monetize their events. Each user has a profile and someone can invite friends to the event and enjoy personalized content.
The show industry is undergoing metamorphosis and KickCity is one of the leading companies. Several years ago, tickets were bought or sold offline. It is currently online. The new stage of event ticketing is based on social interaction. Users not only want to buy tickets, but know and interact with fellow participants before, during and after the event. Especially with the rapidly growing internet, anyone can install a processing gateway and receive tickets for events. Therefore, future event platforms will be built entirely around people. Event community - decentralized or centralized.
On the KickCity platform, you can create groups, chats, and communities. All of these have the option of being open or personal. However, to join a private group you must first be invited and also pay a fee with KICK set by the Group Creator. It is important to note that 2% of these costs will go directly back to the KICK reserves to facilitate KickCity growth.
The idea behind this buy-in model is to create a value based community built on trust. When you buy a group, you buy special group knowledge, network, and reputation. In other words, you buy the value that the community has created.
For some perspective, this buy-in format is actually a growing business model among the Medium publications such as The Writing Cooperative that offers users access to their slack channels by paying $ 2 a month.
How it works ?
Each event has a marketing pool where vendors can allocate KCY tokens for gift-based marketing. Once the campaign is launched, any user can click on the event and the smart contract generates a unique link for the user.
Users can then share this link with their friends on social media and get rewards when there is a conversion (ticket sales or registration). Smart contracts transparently track all transactions and automatically distributes rewards.
Tickets can be purchased using Bitcoin, Ethereum, KCY tokens and FIAT. Most event participants have FIAT and the event organizers want money. By accepting FIAT and paying prizes only in KCY tokens, KickCity will simplify FIAT to Crypto for events.
*Purchase of KCY by Event Organizer*
For simplicity and mass adoption, the event organizer will have 2 main methods for buying tokens for marketing.
Exchange - Event vendors can buy KCY in exchange in accordance with market value.
Credit cards or other payment solutions - Many event vendors do not know how the exchange operates. For this reason, web pages will allow event organizers (only) to buy KCY and transfer them directly to their event pool. The cost of KCY on this page will always be higher than the purchase rate on the exchange. This is to motivate vendors to buy from the exchange.
*Label White and Integration*
To facilitate rapid expansion and easy adoption, we will offer white label API technology for KCY integration to other event platforms. We see a future where KCY is a universal event promotion token.
We're building infrastructure that other event platforms can connect to and driving more ticket sales by rewarding their users and improving social interaction at events.
*Kickcity Token (KCY)*
KickCity Token (KCY) is a smart token ERC20 that implements the Bancor protocol.
The Law of David P. Reed (2 ^ N - N - 1) states that large network "utilities" can be exponentially with network size The KickCity protocol is designed to run millions of events where each event is a subgroup with participants N. Activities of each participant and subgroup potentially benefiting the whole system.
To facilitate rapid expansion and easier adoption, we will offer white label API technology for KCY integration to other event platforms.
Benefits of Smart Token:
* Continuous liquidity - since purchase and liquidation are done through smart Contracts, smart tokens are always liquid, regardless of their trading volume.
* No additional cost - the only mandatory fee applied by smart tokens is the relatively low cost of the Blockchain (gas) platform.
* No Spreads - because the price calculations are performed algorithmically by smart tokens, the same price applies for the purchase and liquidation of smart tokens.
* Lower Volatility.
KickCity is still a growing product and is scheduled to pass through ICO in Q4 of 2017. However, this is lighter than other ICOs because it has proof of concept that is profitable to offer to its investors. For example, KickCity.io has hosted over 2,000 events (free & paid) with over 350,000 participants. This product is also available in Houston (USA), Moscow, Saint Petersburg (Russia), Helsinki (Finland) and will be launched in Paris (France) and Dubai (UAE) soon.
