Exit Festival and NFT-TiX have revealed the behind the scenes of the holder of the €10,000 (£8,650/$11,000) NFT ticket for this year’s edition of the event.

The summer music festival took place in Novi Sad, Serbia from July 11-14. 

Bora Demirsü purchased the special VIP NFT (non-fungible token) ticket, which granted him access to exclusive spots at the Fortress, intimate meet-and-greets with artists, premium accommodations and unique entry privileges. 

The €10,000 ‘Exit Beyond Infinite Experience’ ticket was also the most expensive ever purchased on the Avalanche platform. 

NFT-TiX made the switch exclusively to Avalanche, a high-performance, eco-friendly blockchain network, in April. 

Further privileges included onstage access to the mts Dance Arena, access to the Visa Infinite Dance Arena Lounge, VIP Diamond Dance Arena, and the VIP Gold zones at Gorki List Main Stage and mts Dance Arena. 

The ticket-holder also had the opportunity to experience luxury at the five-star Leopold Hotel at the Petrovaradin Fortress, airport transportation, special entrance and wristband collection location, and phone assistance from the festival’s VIP protocol service. 

Exit Festival announced the expansion of its partnership with NFT-TiX earlier this year. 

“The festival exceeded all my expectations. I got to meet many artists whose music I listen to daily. I even got to chat with them on stage and at the Leopold Hotel. I had a chance to chat with Nina Kraviz; she’s an absolute muse! I also spoke with Space Motion, Indira Paganotto, and Amelie Lens and danced with Burak Yeter. I even grabbed a coffee with Vylana Marcus before her set. Memories keep flooding back; the entire experience, including falling in love at Exit, was surreal,” Demirsü wrote in a thank-you note to the organisers.
