Step 4: Transfer the Ticket to the Buyer
When a buyer places an order for your ticket, it’s time to initiate the transfer for their tickets on Ticketmaster.
Select a ticket you want to fulfill the order for and copy their email address.
Go to Ticketmaster and click on Transfer to transfer the tickets. Enter the right details for the buyer as shown on tickets.zkp2p.xyz. If their name isn't apparent from their email, feel free to enter any name like "Johon Doe".
Click on "Done" after the transfer is initiated and refresh the page for the transfer to load in the extension. Generate the proof by clicking on "Verify" button in the extension as shown in the image below.
Return to ticket.zkp2p.xyz and, click on "Transfer" to submit the transfer initiation proof to the blockchain.
Important: The ticket transfer is not finalized until the buyer accepts the ticket on Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster will notify the buyer of the transfer, and they must accept it for the transaction to proceed.
Step 4: Finalize the Transfer and Get Paid
After the buyer accepts the ticket, you’ll receive a notification email from Ticketmaster. Now you can return to tickets.zkp2p.xyz, finalize the transaction, and claim your payment.
On the "My Listings" page, select the order for which you want to finalize the Transfer. Ensure its status is "Pending Accept".
Go to the corresponding tickets on Ticketmaster and it should say "Accepted by -> [Name of Buyer]". For example, in the image below it says "Accepted by -> Richard Liang" because I transferred the tickets to Richard.
The browser sidebar should capture the accepted tickets and click on "Verify" to generate the proof of transfer.
Return to tickets.zkp2p.xyz and submit the proof of transfer to the chain. If the proof is valid, then it's verified onchain and the funds locked by the buyer will be released to you immediately via the smart contract to your wallet.
