CollecTic

Overview

It's a conceptual app designed to help users digitally collect, organize, and relive their physical event ticket experiences, especially those with emotional or historical value.

Current problem

People who attend live events like concerts, sports games, festivals, and plays often face a set of overlooked issues that they consider essential as collectors

• Memories fade, tickets get lost: Physical tickets are thrown away, buried in drawers, or fade over time.
• People often forget the emotional or historical context of an event, who they went with, what happened, or why it mattered.
• No beautiful UI or a central way to live these experiences again and see my collection of tickets.
• There's no dedicated platform to showcase and emotionally relive one’s ticket collection visually.
• Current options (scrapbooks, phone albums, spreadsheets) are scattered and lack soul.
• Ticket collecting can be share.
• Collecting is often a solo hobby, without any network effect.
• There’s no way to follow other collectors, share stories, or celebrate rare finds together.

 

How CollectTic Solves It
