NFTs have taken the world by storm, with their unique ability to represent ownership of a one-of-a-kind item. And now, the iconic sports media brand Sports Illustrated has joined the NFT craze with their new ticketing platform – Box Office.

This partnership will bring about a revolution in the way tickets are bought and sold. With the help of blockchain technology, individuals can now easily set up paid or free events on Box Office.
What Makes Box Office Unique
Apart from its use of blockchain technology, Box Office has a host of features that make it stand out in the world of ticketing.
