Major European music festival accepting bitcoin as ticket payment
PayPal, Apple Pay and even After Pay are common choices when checking out online… but how about paying for a festival ticket with bitcoin.
Organisers of Exit music festival recognise that festivals should adapt and embrace new technologies.
They’re allowing fans the option to pay for tickets and passes, airport transfers, even camping accommodation …using their digital coins.
PayPal’s CEO has previously noted the dramatical shift towards digital payment.
“40 to 70 per cent of consumers want to use cash less”
EXIT CEO says he wants to engage with our tech-savvy audience… as technology evolves and changes.
“The potential of blockchain, digital exchange, and currency is exciting and we wanted to make sure we are at the forefront, utilizing new technologies and able to engage with our tech-savvy audience as technology evolves and changes,”
EXIT Ceo says.
Festival goers can select the items they want to buy in the festival’s store and now press “Pay with Bitcoin”
Exit is one of the first music events of this size to accept cryptocurrency.
This year’s 20th-anniversary edition of the European event will be held in Serbia.
It’s set to go ahead this July.. in a covid safe manner of course.
Serbia has one of the highest COVID vaccination rates in the world, Largely thanks to the government’s vaccine deals with Russia and China.
So..If fans can pay with Bit=pay… will the line-up of famous music artists want their coin paid in a digital fashion too?
