Fair tickets: a system that makes scalping unprofitable

Everything about why tickets aren't marked up on Bilitchi, and how to be sure the ticket you buy is real.

Where's the problem?

The ticket black market feeds on three weaknesses: anonymous tickets anyone can sell, unlimited buying that allows hoarding, and copyable tickets that can be sold several times over. The result: real fans either miss out or pay several times the price.

We close all three weaknesses at once — closing only one merely slows a scalper down.

Six layers of protection

  1. Verified identityOne account per mobile number and verified national ID. Mass account creation is practically impossible.
  2. Purchase limitsA few tickets per person per showtime; transfers and resale purchases count toward the same limit.
  3. Virtual queue and lotteryWhen sales open, the order is fair and neither refreshing nor bots get you ahead. For very high-demand shows, a lottery replaces the speed race.
  4. Bot and fraud detectionUnusual purchase patterns are detected and stopped before payment.
  5. Rotating QRThe entry code changes every 30 seconds and is cryptographically signed; photos and screenshots are worthless.
  6. Official resale with a price capIf you can't come, sell the ticket at no more than the allowed markup; the old ticket is voided and a new one is issued in the buyer's name.

What you can do

  • Buy only from Bilitchi or its official resale market; second-hand tickets from elsewhere may already be void.
  • Never send anyone your entry code; to give a ticket to a friend, use “Transfer”.
  • Report any ticket listing above the price cap to support.

For organizers

Every layer is configurable per event: purchase limit, ID requirement, transfers and resale, the price-cap percentage and lottery sales.
