You can prove whatever you want. The venue can still tell you to go away. The courts can tell you to go away. The venue don't want you to be able to sell your ticket to, e.g. football hooligans.

I don't want to pay 30% fees, but Ticketmaster want you to pay them and the venues are happy to contract with them. They don't want to build some NFT exchange and directly book events. So Ticketmaster is providing them that service. They have no need for Blockchain, they get fees and simplicity without it.

But this conversation clearly isn't going anywhere, good luck with your free, open, unused ticket exchange.
