Eye Scans Fight Ticket Bots With Concert Kit

Concert Kit, a new feature utilizing the revamped World ID's eye and face scanning technology, aims to combat ticket scalping bots. World ID, described as a "human passport for the internet," generates a unique "proof of human" signature on users' devices without revealing personal information.

This system allows artists to allocate a specific pool of tickets for verified human fans. These fans can then use their World ID to obtain codes for major ticketing platforms like Ticketmaster and Eventbrite, bypassing bot-driven scalping tactics. Artists have the flexibility to set their desired verification levels.
