## FAQ
- Q: How does the NFC ticket prevent counterfeiting and screenshot sharing?
  A: Every NFC chip has a factory-burned unique identifier (UID) that is physically embedded in the silicon and cannot be cloned, copied or reproduced. Unlike QR codes, which are just images that can be screenshotted and shared, the NFC chip must be physically present at the reader to validate. If two attendees present the same ticket ID, the second scan is instantly rejected.
- Q: Can the NFC sticker be used for cashless payments at the event?
  A: Yes. The NFC sticker can be linked to a prepaid event wallet (topped up via mobile app or kiosk) or directly to the attendee's credit / debit card. At food, beverage and merchandise points, the attendee taps the sticker on a payment terminal for a sub-second transaction. Post-event, any unused prepaid balance is refunded automatically.
- Q: What happens if an attendee loses their NFC sticker?
  A: The lost sticker can be instantly deactivated in the event management system, and a replacement sticker is issued at a help desk. The attendee's access rights, cashless balance and any loyalty points transfer to the new sticker within seconds. The deactivated sticker will not validate at any gate or payment terminal.
- Q: Can NFC stickers integrate with Ticketmaster SafeTix, AXS Mobile ID, SeatGeek and other major ticketing platforms, and what does the 2024-2026 industry transition look like?
  A: Yes — NFC stickers are a platform-agnostic credential layer that integrates with any ticketing platform that exposes a validation SDK or gate-scanner integration API. Ticketmaster SafeTix (dynamic rotating barcode) and AXS Mobile ID can be augmented with a physical NFC backup for VIP / hospitality tiers where guests prefer not to manage the app. SeatGeek, StubHub, Eventbrite, Dice and Resident Advisor all support NFC credential fulfilment. The 2024-2026 industry direction is: (a) mobile-first primary delivery (dynamic QR in app), (b) NFC physical backup for hospitality / sponsorship activations, (c) biometric-assisted gate validation (face / fingerprint) for high-capacity venues. Our NFC stickers can be encoded with any platform-specified identifier (EventID, OrderID, SeatID, Serial) and we work with the event operator's ticketing-platform integration partner to validate end-to-end read flow at sample stage.
- Q: Can the same NFC sticker support cryptographic authentication for premium / VIP tickets using NTAG 424 DNA, and how does that differ from standard NTAG213?
  A: Yes. Three tiers are available. (1) NTAG213 / 216 (standard) — factory-burned UID uniqueness is the primary anti-duplicate check; a copied sticker would have a different UID and the backend rejects the duplicate. Cost: lowest, ~USD 0.10-0.30 per sticker. (2) NTAG213 + signature record — we append a cryptographic signature over the UID signed with our private key; ticketing-platform SDK verifies the signature at validation time. Cost: slight uplift. (3) NTAG 424 DNA with SUN (Secure Unique NFC) message — AES-128 per-tap dynamic authentication per NXP AN12196; each tap generates a unique authentication URL, cloning a sticker does not reproduce the AES key, and relay attacks are defeated. Cost: 2-3x the NTAG213 baseline. For general admission, NTAG213 is cost-effective; for VIP hospitality, sponsorship suites, luxury-brand activations and high-fraud-risk events (championship games, headline festivals, esports finals), NTAG 424 DNA is the recommended upgrade. We supply both tiers from the same portfolio and can blend per-event or per-seat-category.
