MGM RESORTS & JABBAWOCKEEZ LAUNCH LAS VEGAS' FIRST NFT-TICKET EVENT

· MGM Resorts and Jabbawockeez are teaming up to offer the first NFT-ticketed live performance experience in Las Vegas.

· 1,100 Jabbawockeez White Glove NFT tickets are now on-sale for performances of TIMELESS at MGM Grand, scheduled between April 7-30.

· When NFT holders redeem their digital tickets at the show, the ticket transforms into a Jabbawockeez video, which becomes a permanent keepsake and a digital key unlocking other exclusive benefits.

· NFT ticket holders will get premium seats, behind-the-scenes access, and meet-and-greet opportunities. NFT ticket owners also become founding members of the MGM Rewards-Jabbawockeez NFT community. As founding members, they'll receive limited-edition content, merchandise and future offers from MGM Resorts and Jabbawockeez.#

· Andrew Machado, SVP of Digital Design & Business Adjacencies: "When you buy these NFT tickets, you actually get a full digital experience where you have the animated Jabbawockeez dancing on your phone before you even have come to Las Vegas and gone into the venue. When you go into the venue and scan it, the video changes into a full-color Jabbawockeez dance. It's an NFT that you personally own. It's an incredible customer experience the whole way through, from the purchase all the way through to seeing the show. Even after the show, we can turn every ticket into a collectible item for our customers."
