Fans also miss out on the chance to see their favorite artists in person and enjoy the thrilling experience of a live event. The entertainment market is worth $2.3 billion globally and is growing – highlighting the increasing demand for performers.

The downside is that many celebrities are booked with as much as one year in advance. Furthermore, not all fans can afford to pay for travel to see their favorite artists like Lady Gaga or Katy Perry perform live.

New Blockchain platform Ceek is looking to connect artists and fans through virtual reality by developing a decentralized entertainment metaverse. Its aim is to extend the availability of events like concerts and shows, and enable artists to sell practically unlimited virtual tickets, along with digital and real merchandise.
