Soccer teams had to play in front of an empty stadium this saturday.

"We don't know how this could happen", an official says. "We've sold almost 40,000 tickets, this is our stadium's capacity."

Management and players as well as fans were looking forward to this game, since it was the first game for which fans could buy NFT-tickets minted on a blockchain called Solana.

The future, today: Solana NFT tickets

"It's a game changer" says a fan with a Solana-basecap waiting in front of the stadium, nervously checking his App. "I'm pretty confident I will be able to join the match in the second half, as soon as my App is responding again. Odd, I didn't have any problems with my Solana app for at least a week."

Solana NFT tickets aroused too many expectations lately. Proof of ownership, safe from ticket scalping and reliable technology powered by a blockchain that is running almost 365 days a year.

Members of the Solana team are now investigating what happened. Fans will be able to get refunds on their tickets bought with SOL as soon as the blockchain is up again, said the manager of the guest team earlier this day.
