So how does this have any advantage over a regular ticket? (Other than “collectibles”)

  As a buyer, you could validate the authenticity of a ticket from a reseller, so getting a counterfeit from a scalper wouldn't be a worry. I think that's it, though

    And that's only possible with Blockchains/NFTs?

      No, it's not, but each ticket issuer would need to design and implement their own authenticity check mechanism. I think you misunderstood the tone of my original comment, which was that NFTs introduce an extremely marginal benefit for the ticketing use case while bringing in all the negative aspects of something based on a permissionless blockchain AND still requiring a trust relationship with the issuer to be established out of band.

Fair point, I didn't see that. I would however make the argument that in reality NFTs wouldn't introduce any benefit. Digital tickets and a centralized software that takes care of reselling completely solves the issue of fake tickets (at least on the technical side). None of this requires NFTs.
