The Value Loop: How To Stop Resale Platforms Stealing Your Revenue?: Corey Topp
Event organiser Corey Topp has seen it all: scammers selling the same ticket to multiple people, fans heartbroken at the door after paying $200 for fraudulent passes, and resale platforms killing event profitability. After 20 years running festivals, from backyard parties to selling out Sydney’s Music Bowl, he’s built Eventflo, a blockchain ticketing platform that’s solving the industry’s biggest nightmares.
In this episode, Corey breaks down the knockout festival scam that made headlines, why traditional ticketing platforms crash when you need them most, and how blockchain technology eliminates fraud without fans even knowing they’re using it. He reveals the “value loop” that ensures fans, organisers, and the industry all win—plus why most event promoters fail because they don’t track their numbers.
If you’ve ever been scammed buying tickets or wondered why events struggle to sell out, this is the conversation you need to hear.
