fan3 operates a "fan-first" access gateway that layers onto existing ticketing systems, integrating with Ticketmaster, AXS, Eventim, and Etix to authenticate real fans and block bots and scalpers. Its core offering is a digital pass kept in a fan's mobile wallet that grants presale access, loyalty perks, and fraud-resistant entry. NFC-enabled wristbands extend the service on-site, letting attendees verify attendance, unlock exclusive experiences, and claim digital rewards, all recorded on-chain for permanence and transparency. The company reports that its fraud-prevention heuristics have cut secondary-market ticket leakage to under 5 %, an 8.4-fold improvement on industry norms. Founded by music industry veterans Steve Finan, Paul Rose, and Ross Taylor, fan3 aims to restore fairness to ticketing while giving artists clearer visibility into their true audiences. Recently secured funding will be channeled toward scaling its technology, expanding the team, and deepening integrations across the live-event ecosystem. Although revenue and user numbers were not disclosed, fan3 positions itself as a trusted, loyalty-driven gateway for promoters, artists, and fans worldwide.
