Fans finally have a fair shot at tickets
The End of Ticket Bots Is Here. A $1.2 TRILLION1 Opportunity Awaits.
IdBase is upending the $1.2 trillion1 live events industry by verifying humans instead of fighting bots.
The World is Ready for IdBase
The DOJ's antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster has created a once-in-a-generation opportunity for a platform that anyone can use. While they struggle with regulatory scrutiny, we are positioned to become the trust layer that transforms live events.
Picture This: Your Favorite artist announces a concert...
You and millions of fans are ready to buy, but bots flood the system, snatching up tickets within seconds only to frustratingly see them instantaneously being listed multiple times more on resale sites. Up to 95% of traffic is automated, leaving real fans empty-handed—or forced to pay sky-high prices on resale platforms.
The real issue isn’t just tickets—it’s trust. Current systems can’t answer a key question:
Who’s actually buying these tickets and attending the events?
Why Traditional Solutions Keep Failing
Captchas Can’t Stop Bots
Mobile-Only Tickets Cause Chaos
Anti-Scalping Laws Fall Short
Manual ID Checks Fail
“The ticketing industry is broken. IdBase has the solution that can change the industry, returning control to the artists, promoters and venues without making purchasing tickets or attending events more difficult to the fans. It’s been a long time coming!”

Device vs. Person
When mobile tickets became the norm, the industry thought resale and scalping would finally be under control and they would know who everyone is.
Instead, it opened a new vulnerability.
Scalpers now use burner phones and automated systems to bypass security, leaving venues blind to who’s actually walking through their doors.
Venues can't verify real attendees
Artists lose connection with true fans
Customers lose faith in fair access
Unauthorized resellers siphon money out of the system
Ticket companies face enormous server fees and chargeback costs from bots
A Perfect Storm for Change
The Department of Justice’s antitrust investigation into Live Nation/Ticketmaster has exposed deep cracks in the system. Mounting frustration across artists, venues, and fans demands real change. The industry doesn’t need another ticketing platform—it needs a trusted foundation for everyone.

Financials & Risk factors
You’re probably wondering…
Simple: Transfer the ticket, not the identity., the new ticket holder verifies their identity, then they're good to go.
Unfortunately, since 2016 when the mobile ticket really started to get adoption, the ticketing industry hasn’t had any new successful innovations. Likely because, the increased amount of data for the industry from mobile, has been enough making them lazy at innovation. Blockchain and NFTs are two examples of unsuccessful attempts that failed at getting any traction due to them not being purpose built for live events which we are.
We're following the airline industry playbook here. Your biometric data stays private and encrypted. When you create your account, we create a template of your face or voice that can be paired with your ticket, no different than an airline pairing your ID with your boarding pass, creating an abstraction that we can use to verify your identity, but have no personally identifiable information outside of IdBase, keeping your data secure. We never store actual images or recordings.
IdBase’s adoption will revolutionize the industry being the first of its kind to finally bring consumer confidence back into the industry with more fans getting the tickets they want at the prices the artists want them to pay. This will come at the expense of the unauthorized brokers and scalpers using bots that have had their way as long as anybody can remember, finally losing the upper hand they have always had.
The live event industry focuses on ticketing, something that hasn't changed in over 175 years and why the majority of issues exist today. We focus on identity which nobody else has to date.
Seldom does an investor get a chance to invest in a technology that could not only disrupt a trillion dollar industry, but also receive direct benefits from it every time they go to buy a high demand concert ticket, and they actually have an equal chance at getting them at face value which will save them hundreds that they can spend on more live event tickets or just more to spend at the event.
Nothing will change for likely another decade at the very earliest when mass digital identity adoption MIGHT have the same effect IdBase can do today.
About Startup Investing
Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.
Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.
To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.
There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time. You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.
The Common Stock (the "Shares") of IdBase Technologies Inc. (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.
Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions. The exceptions are sales to:
(i) to the Company;
(ii) to an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act;
(iii) as part of an offering registered under the Securities Act with the SEC; or
(iv) to a member of the Investor’s family or the equivalent, to a trust controlled by the Investor, to a trust created for the benefit of a member of the family of the Investor or equivalent, or in connection with the death or divorce of the Investor or other similar circumstance.
In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, shares can be transferred to:
- The company that issued the securities
- An accredited investor
- A family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships)
If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.

At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on it’s website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end. If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.
DealMaker Securities is serving as the intermediary for this offering. Once an offering ends, there is no guarantee that DealMaker Securities will have a relationship with the company.
