While the Stade Français has already started in the NFT, it is now the turn of the RCT to launch in the form of collector tickets. It is through a press release that the Var club explained the whole process as well as the functioning of these non-fungible tokens.
”Rugby Club Toulonnais, a major club in the TOP 14 and triple European Champion, is launching its first NFT drop, the challenge of which is to allow its supporters to keep a digital memory of their presence at the Mayol stadium.
RCT fans will be the first to hold an imperishable and immortal digital memory of the season, like a piece of the heritage of the Rouge et Noir club. They will thus be precursors in French sport as supporters who own NFTs.
Through this initiative, the RCT uses the latest technological advances to bring its supporters, in particular the most keen on the new generation of the web (Web 3) closer to its players and create proximity, participation and gratification.
A first NFT drop dedicated to supporters with exceptional advantages
This first collection called “RCT for eternity” is a way for each supporter to immortalize their visit to the stadium and their presence at an event. Thanks to an NFT (unique digital collector’s item) in the form of a commemorative ticket with an original design that he owns.
For the holders of these NFTs, owning an asset from the “RCT for eternity” collection also means joining a privileged community, enjoying a galaxy of advantages throughout the season.
Members of this new community will be invited to a private digital space and will be the first to benefit from the club’s future activations in terms of NFT and experiences in the Metaverse, the web of the future.
NFTs will therefore be an innovative way to serve the RCT’s fan experience, to bring supporters closer to players and give them unique experiences.
Different levels of rarity at the service of the fan experience
The Rugby Club Toulonnais thus wishes to raise awareness among its communities by giving them tools to become pioneers of Web3, through 2 ranges of collector tickets:
NFT Rouge: each supporter present at the stadium will be able to acquire this free collector’s ticket and discover its associated advantages. (3 categories of Red NFT: Bronze – Silver – Gold)
NFT Noir: Premium collector ticket at the price of 5€, giving even more exceptional advantages. (3 categories of Black NFT: Bronze – Silver – Gold)
Finally, from February, a new class of NFT will emerge: The “Player of the Month” of the Rugby Club Toulonnais.
At the end of the season, an unforgettable experience will reward supporters who have completed their “RCT for eternity” collection by acquiring all the NFTs Rouge or Noir.
