I've been part of a project to use blockchain and smart contracts for the ticket lifecycle of a sports club events.

Buy, transfer, validate at the gate.

All in a private blockchain instance without a "token economy" involved.

Pretty cool thing tonbe honest.

It sounds like "private blockchain" means very few copies of the blockchain, or even just one?

If it does, why was it decided to use a blockchain rather than a traditional database?
