The more I look into the NSW initiative to bring back live entertainment... the more wary / concerned I am about the government's outlook in comparison to the real issues that are being faced by the industry... Here's another one I found... The strategy boasts about NSW being home to 50% of Australia's record labels. Impressive, right?

In a world where people continue to talk about crypto ai agents, memecoins and pump.fun's shameless streaming feature that brings out the worse in us... I am still adamant and extremely bullish on a world beyond 'fast gains' and 'cheap tricks' to build wealth. Consumer crypto is where it's at. It's not currency. it's connection. We can democratize access. We can leverage blockchain towards authentication We can empower people to take risks on wild ideas that just might change the world. This to me, is meaningful technology. Where innovation can meet integrity. And most importantly, is sustainable.

I don't know if I'm bad at sleeping... Or really good at thinking.

Fan engagement isn’t just likes and shares. It’s more than a simple math equation like 1+1. I believe that engagement should be about more than just counting interactions. It’s the start of something special. It's about artists and event organizers giving fans the content they crave and creating ways to value experiences that matter. That's why at @allaccessio , we're all in on questing. Imagine this: fans pick their own quests and get involved in unique streams of content. And guess what? The rewards they choose shape their experience, letting creators tailor more personal interactions. So, attending an event? It’s more than that—it's stepping into a story you help write. Fans aren't just bystanders; they're essential parts of the adventure with their favorite artists.

Oasis aren’t doing dynamic pricing for their US tour… This tells us 2 things. 1. Dynamic pricing isn’t the only ‘solution’ and isn’t a necessity of high demand. 2. Fan feedback makes a difference. Artists have the power to do the right thing Fans have the power to put pressure on them to do so. The only reason the band are walking back on dynamic pricing is because of the anger from fans who bought tickets for the UK and Ireland shows. We CAN make a difference. We CAN drive positive change.

Realised that over the weekend I schedule my emails out so that my colleagues receive them on Monday. In the beginning I was assuring myself that it's because I respect my colleagues and want them to have their downtime I've slowly realised that it's actually because I don't want my colleagues to think I'm a workaholic. Sad.

Listening about pop-cities as experiments at @balajis.eth #networkstateSG I'm pretty sure burning man is the longest running pop-up city experiment ever.

How do you give fans the worst possible ticketing experience? Look at what happened to Oasis fans last weekend. 1. Fans spent hours waiting in line to buy tickets. 2. When they finally got ticket options, they were given a short window to buy the tickets they were offered. 3. Fans were pushed to pay well over twice the price for tickets. This isn’t a new thing, the Oasis incident has just brought it into focus. Fans are being ripped off, they’re having an awful experience, and no one seems to be doing anything about it. Why? Because Ticketmaster and LiveNation are making lots of money and they know they can get away with it. The big companies don’t care enough to change. The artists don’t know any better and their management makes most decisions for them. And the fans are forced to pay through the nose because they’re passionate. The system doesn’t work and it’s not fair. We’ve let monopolies have too much power over live entertainment for too long.

Sony has launched its blockchain, Soneium, and… @allaccessio is a part of it! This is huge news for us. We’re so excited that Sony thinks what we’re doing is cool enough to approach us and ask us to be a part of this project. All Access has always believed in the power of blockchain. And when Sony has over 900 million devices in use, there's so much potential in this collaboration. We see a future where fans can showcase their fandom on-chain and use these perks for elevated experiences at concerts and music festivals. Soneium’s mission is: “Aiming for a world where Web3 use cases are a part of daily life.” So we get why they reached out to us. This is exactly what we’re aiming to do for the live music space - using web3 technology to enrich and improve real-world experiences. This isn’t about doing web3 for the sake of it. It’s about finding real value and building the tools to make effective solutions that actually improve our day-to-day lives.

Consumers are looking for experiences more than anything else in 2024. - 66% of people between the ages of 25 and 34 would rather receive an experience gift than a tangible item - 65% is how much more people are spending on experiences since 2019. After the pandemic, people want to return to what they loved. And people who grew up in the pandemic want to experience everything live events have to offer. The experience economy is going to be one of the fastest-growing sectors in the entertainment sector going forward. We’ve been building the tech to harness this change at @allaccessio for years. Now is the time to start investing in the space and getting in on the ground floor of what is going to be the future of live events. The value of experience is here to stay.

You see a lot of events being canceled these days due to ‘unforeseen circumstances.’ But what does that actually mean? And when is it just an excuse? ‘Unforeseen circumstances’ can mean a lot - are we talking about an unexpected hurricane or bad planning? It usually comes down to 3 things: 🔶 Slow ticket sales. Getting your ticket price right is everything. Are you charging too much? Is your lineup worth the price? Have you researched your date to make sure people are going to be available? Many of us try to as much research as we can...but the data in front of us is not the right data. Facebook impressions means nothing when it comes to selling tickets! 🔶 Haven’t read the fine print. A lot of unforeseen circumstances have to do with licensing and getting the right approvals from governments or city councils, and this is a momentous task. If it's not done correctly - organisers may fail to get necessary approvals and have no choice but to cancel.

There are 3 big problems in the live events space right now: 1. Fan engagement isn’t happening. Event organizers can’t communicate with the right fans and don’t really know what they’re looking for anymore, so they aim for the middle ground and play it safe. The end result? Events that totally miss out on the point of live events - cool, exciting, unique experiences - and the fans are losing interest. 2. There’s no data-driven decision-making. The tech isn’t in place for event organizers to effectively anticipate real-time demand and build on this data. Event organizers are fumbling in the dark without being able to consult the data and make informed decisions. 3. Capital financing is drying up. Since everything is already listed, there’s a lot more risk with live events & investor interest is falling off. It’s why @allaccessio exists. We’re the solution. We’re building a platform that’s decentralized, open to all, and built to benefit anyone building in the live event space.
