CHICAGO PILOT — Q2 2026

MINT YOUR
SEAT.

OWN THE CHAIN.

Escrow-protected ticketing built on top of what venues already use. Artists and rights holders get paid on every resale. Fans own what they buy — verified, protected, and theirs. No middlemen taking 30%. No empty seats.

⚖️ April 16, 2026 — Federal jury finds Ticketmaster guilty of monopolizing the ticket market.
We've been building the alternative. Quietly. Until now.

Add two lines of code to your checkout. Every ticket sold gets escrow protection, resale rules you control, and automatic artist royalties on every secondary sale. No new system. No replacing anything. Just a trust layer on top of what you already use.

Connect your account. Your tickets appear automatically. Select the games you can't make, set one pricing rule, hit publish. All 35 games listed in under two minutes. Get paid automatically when each one sells — no Venmo, no chasing anyone.

Find tickets to any event. See the real total price upfront — no surprise fees at checkout. Your money is held in escrow until your ticket is confirmed delivered. If it never arrives, you get a full automatic refund. Nobody has to chase anybody.

HOW A TRANSACTION WORKS

From buyer pays to everyone gets paid — automatic, transparent, on-chain verified.

01
Buyer Pays

Fan pays by credit card or USDC wallet. Funds lock immediately in escrow — not in MintSeat's account, not in the seller's account. Held securely until delivery.

02
Ticket Transfers

Seller transfers ticket through normal channels. MintSeat gets confirmation automatically from the venue system, or buyer taps "Confirm Received" for external tickets.

03
Splits Route

On confirmed delivery, payments route automatically: artist royalty, seller payout, platform fee — all in one settlement. No manual transfers. No waiting.

04
Everyone's Paid

Artist gets their 7%. Seller gets their money. MintSeat takes 1.5%. Buyer gets a verified receipt. If anything goes wrong — automatic full refund, no questions.

Show The Math

WHERE EVERY DOLLAR GOES

Example: $120 resale ticket. Here's the full breakdown before you click buy.

Artist / Rights Holder
7% auto-routed on every resale. First time in ticketing history at the contract layer.
$8.40
Seller Receives
Paid automatically on delivery confirmation. No chasing. No Venmo.
$109.80
MintSeat Platform Fee
1.5% resale. Shown upfront. No surprises at checkout.
$1.80
Buyer Pays Total
$120 resale + $1.80 fee = $121.80 all-in. Shown before checkout. No surprises.
$121.80
vs. Ticketmaster: On a $120 ticket, Ticketmaster averages $34–$37 in service fees taken from the buyer — with zero going to the artist. MintSeat's total fee: $1.80. The artist gets $8.40. The math is not close.

40 GAMES.
TWO MINUTES.

You shouldn't have to spend an hour listing tickets one by one. You shouldn't have to chase payment after the game. MintSeat solves both.

Proprietary Trust Algorithm

INTRODUCING MINTSCORE

Every seller on MintSeat has a MintScore — a proprietary trust rating built from verified on-chain history. Not star ratings. Not self-reported. Not gameable.

Delivery Rate

Did you transfer the ticket after a buyer paid? Every completed transaction builds your score. Every bail costs you.

25%
Delivery Speed

Transaction timestamps are verified on-chain. Sellers who transfer within hours score higher than those who wait until game day.

20%
Peer Ratings

After every settled transaction, buyer rates seller and seller rates buyer. Recency-weighted. Both sides accountable.

15%
Cancellation Rate

How often did you cancel after a buyer committed funds? Late cancellations after the grace window count heavily against your score.

10%
On-Chain History

Verified transaction volume on the ledger. You can't fake a completed escrow. The chain doesn't lie — and neither does your score.

SCORES ARE RECENCY-WEIGHTED

The last 90 days count 50%. The prior year counts 35%. Everything older counts 15%. Bad history fades. Consistent good behavior rebuilds. New sellers start at 500 — every transaction is an opportunity to earn.

Why it can't be gamed

StubHub has star ratings. Anyone can earn 5 stars with a burner account. MintSeat's score is anchored to on-chain escrow transactions that are public, immutable, and verifiable. You can't fake a completed delivery. You can't buy a good score. You earn it.

EVERY LISTING SHOWS ITS TRUST LEVEL

MintScore covers the seller. The listing tier covers the ticket itself. Buyers see both before they pay.

Partner Verified
✓ HIGHEST TRUST

Ticket purchased through a MintSeat-integrated venue. Authenticity confirmed at point of sale. Resale rules and royalties auto-populated. Strongest buyer protection available.

Seller Declared

Transparent Pricing

YOU ONLY PAY
WHAT MAKES SENSE.

Venues pay a monthly SaaS fee. Season ticket holders and fans never pay a subscription — ever. You only pay a small transaction fee when a ticket actually sells.

🏛️
Venues & Sports Teams
$49–$299 /mo
Monthly SaaS subscription. Unlimited ticket registrations, resale rules, royalty routing, and dashboard access. No per-ticket fee on primary sales beyond the 2.5% transaction fee.
🎟️
Season Ticket Holders
$0 /mo
No subscription. No monthly fee. You pay 1.5% only when a ticket sells and the buyer receives it. If nothing sells, you pay nothing.
🙋
Fans & Buyers
$0 /mo
No subscription. No hidden fees. You see the full price — ticket + 1.5% platform fee — before you click buy. That's it. No surprise charges at checkout.
