  • Conditional Tickets: A new way to buy tickets based on outcomes (like your team making the finals), typically at a fraction of face value based on probability.
  • Prediction Markets: Trade ticket fractions like stocks, allowing you to hedge bets and maximize value through market dynamics.
  • Instant Payments: Powered by Coinbase's x402 protocol for fee-free, instant USDC settlements on Base network. Sellers receive proceeds immediately, and royalty payments are automated.

Understanding Conditional Tickets

Conditional tickets are a revolutionary concept that gives you access to an event only if a specific condition is met. Think of them as "future tickets" that activate based on real-world outcomes.

How Pricing Works

The price of a conditional ticket is based on the probability of the outcome occurring. Here's a simple example:

Official NBA Finals Ticket: $1,000
Lakers' Chance of Making Finals: ~40%
Conditional Ticket Price: ~$400
Your Savings if Lakers Make It: $600 (60% off!)

Key Benefits

  • Lower upfront cost: Pay based on probability, not face value
  • Hedge your bets: Buy tickets for multiple potential outcomes
  • Trade anytime: Sell your conditional tickets as probabilities change
  • Guaranteed authenticity: Tickets held in secure custody until resolution

Common Use Cases

  • Sports playoffs (team making finals/winning championship)
  • Concert tours (artist confirming your city)
  • Festival lineups (specific headliner performing)
  • Group events (minimum attendance reached)

Group Organizers

Planning a bachelor party, birthday celebration, or friends outing? Pepper handles RSVPs, collects payments, and finds group discounts.

Example: "I need 8 tickets together for UFC 295. Handle payments from my friends and find us lower bowl seats."

Professional Resellers

Use market scanner to track inventory, analyze pricing trends, and identify arbitrage opportunities across multiple events and venues.

Example: "Monitor all Madison Square Garden events. Alert me when tickets drop below 70% of face value with high resale potential."

Season Ticket Holders

Maximize the value of your season tickets by selling games you can't attend at optimal prices based on real-time market data.

Example: "I have Lakers season tickets. Help me sell 10 games this season at the best possible prices."

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ParlayTix make money?

We charge a small service fee (typically 5-10%) on successful transactions. There are no subscription fees or hidden costs.

Are the tickets guaranteed to be authentic?

Yes. All tickets are verified through our authentication system and held in secure custody. We guarantee authenticity or your money back.

What happens if a conditional ticket doesn't resolve in my favor?

If the condition isn't met (e.g., your team doesn't make the finals), the conditional ticket expires worthless. This is why they're priced lower - you're taking on outcome risk.

Can I sell tickets I've already bought?

Yes! You can list both regular and conditional tickets for resale on our marketplace at any time before the event.

How fast can Pepper find tickets?

Pepper searches in real-time across 80+ platforms. Most users receive their first recommendations within 30 seconds of making a request.

Is my payment information secure?
