Ticket Settlement Layer

Split at the sale.
Skip the settlement.

Split each ticket sale at the moment of purchase on a shared network instead of settling weeks later by manual calculation. ERC-721 NFT tickets carry the sale, and the Royalty Standard, Royalty Clearing, and Escrow and Conditional Settlement modules pay each party.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn a delayed post-event reconciliation into an instant split across artist, venue, and promoter at every sale.

01.

NFT Ticket Sale

Each ticket is an ERC-721 token minted at purchase. The sale carries its own payment logic, so the split begins the moment a fan buys rather than after the show.

02.

Sale-Time Split

The Royalty Standard divides each ticket's value across the artist, venue, and promoter at the point of sale, applying the agreed shares before the money ever pools with one party.

03.

Instant Party Payout

The Royalty Clearing module routes each party their share immediately, so the artist and venue no longer wait weeks for the promoter to finish a manual calculation.

04.

Escrowed Guarantees

Escrow and Conditional Settlement can hold shares against conditions like a completed performance, releasing them automatically once the condition is met.

05.

One Shared Figure

Every party reads the same on-chain totals. The artist, venue, and promoter all see identical numbers, removing the mistrust that manual settlement breeds.

06.

Transparent Resale

Because tickets are tokens, resale can route a share back to the original parties automatically, extending the split beyond the primary sale.

The Ticket Settlement Lifecycle

Follow one ticket from a fan's purchase through an instant three-way split to a condition-gated release after the show.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes concert settlement into modular contracts. Each layer mints the ticket, splits the sale, escrows against conditions, and releases every party's share on the same shared record.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Instant ticket settlement is a horizontal capability. Here is how different live-event operators put a shared split to work.

Concerts & Tours

Split each ticket across artist, venue, and promoter at the moment of sale, so touring acts and small venues are paid immediately instead of chasing a promoter for weeks after the show.

Festivals & Multi-Act Events

Route each sale across many performers and the venue by their agreed shares, settling a complex lineup automatically from figures every act can see rather than a spreadsheet they cannot.

Venues & Ticketing Platforms

Offer transparent settlement as a feature, holding shares in conditional escrow until a performance is verified and extending the split to resale so original parties keep earning.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging a ticketing platform's sales system or routing native fan purchases from a wallet, Cerulea settles both against one event ledger.

Track A: Ticketing Platform Bridging

For established ticketing platforms on legacy infrastructure. Primary sales are translated into signed on-chain ticket mints and splits through the API gateway automatically.

Track B: Native Fan Purchase

For Web3 ticketing apps. A wallet-native fan buys directly, minting an NFT ticket and triggering the split on the public execution layer.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects live-event payments benchmarks. Building NFT ticketing, sale-time split logic, and conditional escrow settlement for an average promoter takes a baseline of 8 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your split and escrow rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the event ledger and settlement layer instantly.
