Proxy Booking Detection Shield

3.05

Derivation Chain

Step 1 BTS Gwanghwamun concert proxy booking controversy
Step 2 Concert ticketing platform operators
Step 3 Proxy booking/macro detection module

Problem

During major concert ticket releases (e.g., BTS Gwanghwamun), proxy booking agents and macro bots seize seats, blocking legitimate buyers. Ticketing platform operators (Interpark, Melon Ticket, etc.) lack the resources to develop in-house bot detection, incurring tens of thousands of dollars in CS surge and brand damage response costs per event.

Solution

An SDK embedded in ticketing pages that analyzes click patterns, session speed, and device fingerprints in real time to flag and block suspected bot/proxy booking sessions via API. A dashboard displays detection rates, false positive rates, and block logs, with pre-event risk score calculation. Core features: (1) Real-time bot/proxy detection via behavioral analysis, (2) Block API with configurable thresholds, (3) Per-event risk scoring and post-event analytics.

Target: Small-to-mid-size online ticketing platform operators (5-30 employees), concert promoter IT/operations teams
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription base ~$217/domain (290,000 KRW) + excess event traffic at ~$0.004/request (5 KRW), 15% discount for Annual Subscription.
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
